Wouldn't this situation, and a lot of other situations, not cause so much discussion and confusion if only the rules had included a few simple tables! Such a...
English DBA Open The English DBA Open will be held on Sunday 10th October at Elles Hall Community Centre, Farnborough, Hants. This has become the largest DBA...
The really gun thing is trying to construct that table - especially if you try and combine it with combat factors and the combat outcome. Cheers, Thomo the...

BOB'S COMMENTARY ON DBA 2.2 There are no new comments for after 2.2 These are good for up to and including 2.2 and for the entire year of 2004 unless some...
Bob, I have two suggestions for 2.3/3.0 1. I would like to see the recoil language make it clearer that one elephant recoiling into another destroys both. I...
My main suggestion is to trash the dismounting rules. It was so much easier to just have players pick mounted or dismounted figures at the start of the game. ...
Hey Lee, Looks like I may have to make a run into Taiwan next week (into Taipei in particular). Should I bring my DBA rules? Cheers, Thomo the Lost Thomo's new...
I agree with the shooting on rear. I would add though, if putting in clear words about elephants recoiling into elephants, that the wording for that should be...
Good points. 1. I thought the elephant issue was covered by the recoil chart RECOIL OPTIONS FOR VARIOUS TROOP TYPES On top are types that are trying to...
Yes, a common complaint. I will add it to my list. Phil's response has been that these mounted troops - nobles and knights and such - like to ride to the...
Yes, but then an army in a tournament would have to play with that same choice throughout. Instead of removing it entirely, I would suggest either making...
1. I agree, but with all due respect to your wonderful COMMENTARIES, the recoil chart is not part of the official rules. My suggestion was for this point to...

Sorry Terry, I thought these were suggestions for Commentaries as that was the subject. I was reading to fast too early in the morning. Indeed these are...
With 1.1 the decision as to what format to use could be made for each game. Likewise if a choice were available between Artillery or SC and some other type. I...
My guess is Phil won't change the rear shooting definition, but his willingness to budge on the BUA issue gives me hope, especially if you and others represent...
Marty Schmidt has corresponded with Phil about elephants and reported that Phil intends both to be destroyed. Marty, if you are reading, can you post that...
In my fantasy world I'd like the DBA 2.3/3.0 edition to change the camp/BUA rules. Possibilities: *Camp only counts as one extra element lost *Must roll to...
Thanks for the ideas. I'll bring these up when the time comes. I did not understand this one "*require a river to run at least six inches away from the...
Hello All, My son and I were playing DBA (both rookies) this past weekend and a couple questions came to mind while he was attacking my BUA. Probably very...
Good sports both of you, to use the BUA. Phil thinks they are very important to warfare of this time. Most experienced players do not pick BUAs for games. ...
... comes. I did not understand this one ... Rivers have to run from one battlefield edge to the one across it, only occupying 2 quarters. Visually I see the...
Yes I see what you are getting at. I thought this was covered by the rule "A River cannot be more than an element base width across or longer than 1½ times...
