Just to pick up on this thread again, I'd like to ask another Mtd/dismounted question. I happen to have the 76page PDF DBA guide and as a player of older...
More than Knights dismout. Are these new rules going to affect them as well? Deciding that troop types are less capable than the rules state is a slippery...
1.1 edition rules: mounted or dismounted at deployment 2.0-2.2 edition rules: All elements start the game mounted and spend a PIP in first bound or 2 in...
Thank you. That is exactly the clarification I needed. I'm still awaiting the most current copy of the rules to arrive in the mail, but I'm currently cleaning...
You need to provide both mounted and dismounted figures, ONLY if you plan to dismount the mounted ones. Bob beattie@... On Aug 2, 2006, at 2:28 PM, Fred...

The old notation meant that they could choose to deploy mounted or dismounted, and that they could mount/dismount during the game. AFAIK, the // notation means...
Richard, give me the historical examples of troops mounting/remounting during a historical battle. I have two reasons for changing this in competitions: 1. I...
Doug I have to agree with you regarding the impact of being able to mount/dismount during a DBA game - a week ago my poor Athenians were faced by Medieval...

To start with, I'm in total accord with Ken's sentiments regarding the dismounted rule (particularly as it is applied to medieval games) I am interested merely...
... think DBA (like many games actually) if it is played with matched 'in period' armies. ... in a bound in which those elements make HTH contact with the...
That is right. An element may not dismount and end in edge or corner contact with the enemy. Since it can not end in contact, it follows it can not begin a...
If you always intend to dismount your Kn elements on the first bound, I see no reason to paint additional mounted figures. I am pretty sure most opponents...
Mr. Barker was satisfied it was historical. Not all knights, chariots, etc can dismount so it seems likely he found historical evidence satisfactory to him to...

Hi Nik, my understanding from previous discussions of this was that Mongols dismounted pre-battle. It is somewhat different to troops who ride up to threaten...
Hi ... don't know this one so can't comment ... Weren't these troops supposed to have started mounted and remained as a mounted reserve? ... But this is a...
... entering combat is different from committing to battle. I would suggest that at DBA scale, any troops on the board are 'committed to battle' regards. Doug...
The last minor thing that annoys me about DBA (having barred troops leaping on and off horses, and nonsenses with BUAs) is the problem of games which are...
Hi Doug, I see it as the defenders responsibility to ensure that the terrain placed on the board is conducive to a game. The defender needs to make the...
... In a competition game, I would have crushed the opponent. Later Carthos have 5 excellent BGo troops. 5 is more than enough to win a battle where your...
I do not see a problem with the defender generating terrain to his advantage. This is of course one of the perks of being the defender. If the attacker does...
