 DBA Variant -- River and Ford Variant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Banked rivers slow crossing and aid defense (+1 to close combat tactical factor if the defending element is on land with its front edge or both front corners touching the adjacent river edge).
A river may be crossed without risk at any point that it intersects with a road (representing either a bridge or a well-established ford)..
If there is no road, and the river is not paltry, then the defender must place one marked ford (known to both players) at a point somewhere along the length of the river, at least 600P from any board edge.

 Baltimore City Paper: ARTS Black River   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Ford's relentless narrative follows the exploits of Frank Corso, an improbably tough ex-reporter turned bestselling true-crime writer, as he investigates the seemingly unrelated murders of a school janitor and a construction foreman.
Black River's flaws, though, are the same as those found in the majority of today's crime fiction: the formulaic structure of a TV-movie screenplay, a moral simplicity disguised by hard-boiled prose, and a lingering romanticism that negates any sense of reality.
Black River pretends to wrestle with these same issues, but its villains are cartoonishly evil, its hero is as noble and incorruptible as Galahad, and its plot is resolved as neatly as an episode of Matlock.
