Re: Newbie question

Funny, I am just getting started in DBA too and have the Viking army...
(can field 40a or b and after looking for opponents I am going to pick
the Picts...seems like a very diffferent army to learn on - not sure
about how even they will match up..probably depends a lot on the
terrain.

Good luck.
