I am currently talking with the Birmingham Bunnies for the possible inclusion of a DBA event May 14-15 during the 5th Annual Henry Brewer- Gus Sailors DBM...
I have now put together the troops and terrain for Sambre based on the Society of Ancients Battle Day information. There were 8 Roman legions of about 5,000men...
... If I just may ride one of my favourite hobby horses a bit - game scale. The nominal troop scale of DBA is around 1000 men per element, so a legion should...
Hi, would anybody have any pics of mirlitons crusader range(CC15-CC18)? I'm looking to do an early polish and a teutonics army and mirliton was recommended but...
Hi Karl Heinz Thanks much for the good comments. The SOA description of the game said that there were 8 legions of 10 cohorts. 1/3 of the front 6 legions...
How do people play this rule +1 If in close combat; and either uphill or defending any but a paltry river's bank off-road. in the case where a river is at the...
... You can't get both bonuses at once -- you only get hill bonus if part of your element's front edge is ENTIRELY UPHILL of the whole enemy element. Since he...
+1 only here in Spokane. Since the defender's front edge must be touching the stream edge, I don't see how part of it's front edge could also be up slope of...
While I agree with your conclusion about the Tactical Factor bonus, I disagree with your statement that rivers can't be on hills. As near as I can see, Linear...
Terry Thanks for the geography lesson :) I am not concerned with an opponent doing this but a historical scenario where there is a river at base of hill, in a...
Point taken!I have no idea what year either...maybe it was for another rule set!I just figured IF it did exist one of the 1300 odd members of this group might...
Was it a recent issue? If so it was within the last year. Email Duncan.... ... Evening!Can anyone please tell me in which issue of Wargames Illustrated the DBA...
Haven't they got some on their web site? If not, try mirliton.co.uk ... Hi, would anybody have any pics of mirlitons crusader range(CC15-CC18)? I'm looking to...
this is good, for DBA http://www.btinternet.com/~alan.catherine/wargames/wotr.htm http://www.r3.org/bosworth/texts/ingalls.html http://www.r3.org/bosworth/ ...
Bob, I read it as a maximum of +1 even if both are possible. I get this from the line either uphill _or_ defending any but a paltry river's bank off-road. To...
Hi Bob, This has to be a use of English question in the rules. As the rules specifically say "...either...or..." the intention must be that the conditions are...
Can anyone remember the conclusion the group reached (when we had that discussion on someone wanting a Crannogh BUA in a Waterway reached by a road) regarding...
It was me who asked the question. The response I was given was words to the effect that there's nothing in the terrain placement rules to stop a road going...
I had this advantage once and a single Psiloi held off a heavier element for the entire game. It frustrated the devil out of my opponent and helped me win the...
--I have pictures of CC17 and pictures of the Teutonic knights CC15-17. I may also suggest that CC11-14 will do fine too. I have pictures of those in the 15...
If we accept DK's argument that a front edge can not be both up hill and on a river bank at the same time, then your "either..or" question is moot because the...
Did you and your opponent count your bonus as +1 or +2? Terry in Spokane On Tue, 12 Apr 2005 17:01:35 -0000 "Pete Flynn" <pikeman@...> ... element for...
Can one lay a river through the impassable terrain of a Waterway? Since both features are water, I would say "yes". Can an area feature such as a hill...
I do not accept DK's logic, as I thought I said. Assume a river can run along the base of a hill and the bank is on the hill. I do appreciate your discussion...
I was just wrestling with this very question as I was planning, for my next pyrotechnic trick, to craft a simplified version of the Pharos of Alexandria. ...
Great idea, Paul. As long as the combined light & causeway have a foot print of (length + width <= 9 BW), I think the combination could be considered one BUA....
... If the causeway is considered to be part of the BUA then surely all the attacker needs to do is contact the causeway to be attacking the BUA... which...
