Why not mandate that the NICT itself will be played strictly by the rules as written and as interpreted by the NASAMW, but with no rule resitrictions or ...
... It took me long enough to remember this, Terry, but here's the other reason why the battery power-supply is better off outside the tower, i.e. in addition...
I have been discussing this with the NASAMW Executive Council and they accept what Terry says. The goal for the organization is to be inclusive and have as...
I have been receiving 2KB blank messages at the rate of 2-3 per day. These messages have no "sender" and seem to be completely blank. I am trying to narrow...
Well, maybe it's a regional thing, but the players I know in the Northwest are perfectly happy to have the BUA rules used as written. Of course in most games,...
I followed the discussion on the NASAMW Executive Council. The problem I see with using the NASAMW guidelines is that they were designed specifically for...
... -- I'll get you the updated info for Origins, ATC and DBC. Should it go to you or Mr. Schlanger? Seeya! -- Mike Demana Check out my travel web page at:...
I see this as a very slight problem. While I think anyone putting on a DBA event can be trusted to maintain the spirit of DBA as they see it, there would be...
I got a weird error message indicating the message below did not go through, so I am sending it again. My apologies if it made it the first time. Terry in...

Maybe it is Paul's influence, the camps and BUAs we see, at least at Enfilade and other DBA events he attends, are so good looking we would not want to do...
Way back then you, Bob and I began by using Joe Morschauser's rules that I read about in the AVALON HILL GENERAL and obtained through an inter library loan...
Terry, I too have noticed that gravity kicks in once one passes 40. What kept itself in check in our twenties and thirties; bellies, bad backs, etc, have all...
Well....I was the one who put some non-DBA events last year and wanted them to qualify California players for the NICT. We have only a few shots at organizing...

There are many good DBA players on the west coast. Are they as good as the talented group that always seems to be contending for the NICT crown? We'll ...
I beg to differ, DBA is not that skill driven. As Napoleon asked of his candidates for command, "Is he Lucky?" (in french, of course.) The most important DBA...
... Well, I didn't mean it that way. Rob's post said there wasn't much DBA, and that is why he ran pike-and-shot things. And then he said that if the NICT...
... I've heard this many times. "There is no skill in DBA", or "DBA = Dice Before Ability." Hehehehe. Good players win consistently in DBA. Even with poor...
Please, let's not get into a pissing match about the quality of play in one region or another. I don't think the intent of Rob or David was to denigrate...
Well, as a Left-Coast (US) player, I guess I gotta chime in, eh? I know I am a decidedly average player. I don't keep track, but I am probably sub .500. The...
It this were true, then the winners of events would be somewhat random, yet the same dozen players turn up on top all the time. Do you say they have "funny...
Paul - Well said, and right on target regarding what goes makes DBA a game that isn't just based on luck. Also, thanks for the compliment. Hopefully we will...
How do good players win? They get matchups that favor their army, overlaps, shut the door and then let the law of averages work for them. But if you start...
I both agree and disagree with the below statement. I have had only one game where dice were the sole determinate of the game, I rolled no higher than a three...
