Morning folks, To me, the first army I ever build was one I had an historical interest in. In this case it was Byzantines. As one learns the rules he or she...
Slingshot 240 has arrived on UK doormats. Contents summary: Part 1 of a major series on 12th/13th century Angevin armies, by Andrew Fisher Ted Lendon writes...
I wonder if the people in this group play DBA battles but just cannot write reports to send to Slingshot. I will do one on our experience with DBA Sambre....
Hi Bob. The last issue (239) had two DBA articles, both of which I thought were excellent - David Reardon's multiple refight of Edington and Paul Murgatroyd's...
Well, I don't know about writing for Slingshot -- as I'm not a member of SOA -- and maybe not that good a writer. But, here's a brief recount of a Punic scrum...
Since 2.1 (or 2.2) allowed Wb to operate more historically in Bad Going (no combat penalty), has anyone been sufficiently encouraged to try out their Warband...
G'Day, I was thinking of dabbling in the dark side of DBA and painting an army in 25mm. Are there any manufacturers around who still make true 25's? Or have...
Hi Paul, I've used and have had useed against Wb armies since 2.2. They are a lot tougher now, especially if they get to choose terrain. My experience has...
Three manufacturers come to mind , in order of figure detail (least to most); MiniFigs, Irregular, Iron Wind (they make Ral Partha in the USA). I suppose...
... Paul, If you already like mostly/all mounted armies then Wb armies are for you. Wb is stronger then it was, but monotype armies of any kind are by their...
I like elephants for the Carthaginians too. However, once they start recoiling or otherwise get separated, they can be a bitch to move. I can see where one...
Just discovered them, and they look awesome. www.outpostwargameservices.co.uk Look for Manchu. But how to use them in DBA? Use the Pike/Shot extension? or... ...
Yes, elephants are hard to keep moving forward once the fighting starts. This is why they are much better (IMHO) in BBDBA, where you can put them in the high...
... Nick Harbud has written a piece on his standard size version of Sambre (which we tested the week before the SOA Battle Day, but unfortunately Nick couldn't...

Nice pictures, but I can see you guys' problem already. You don't have enough troops. Better get busy and paint up some more. :) You say the Gauls had...
... Both articles were really great. I found it notable that both authors were using DBA 1.x. Regarding Bob's comment that "DBA is still a viable game and more...
Hi Bob Yes, I have some of these. And yes, the appearance is very close. Nice to have another option for them. (It is amazing how close the Jurchen b-list is...
Hi Paul, I am new to playing DBA and my first army was II/73 Old Saxon. All Warband except a Psiloi. I am 2 and 4 against II/81b but It has been a real...
