At Historicon there were only a couple of rules questions. One had to do with an element putting another in its base width area of control. Please see the...
It appears legal to me and appears much less cheesy as compared to a number of moves that I had observed, such as elements lining up with only the front corner...
You know me in terms of cheese, play the rules.  I certainly don't smell anything cheesy here. It looks like a perfectly reasonable move, and if I were a...
Looks legal to me, and more than legal, not a whiff of cheese. If it were a blade or other 2 inch mover, how else is it going to get into contact with the...
It's huge cheese. The rules appear to allow it, but this is where the game breaks down due to the geometry of the stands, and their various depths, and the...
looks like a great Idea to me. Absolutly no cheese! I think I will use it to my advantage in later games. David, Tony, and Terry be ware. This would be even...
I don't see this as being in the same league as the kinked line as far as cheese is concerned. I'm certainly interested to hear more about what Robert thinks....
... Why would you bring this up for discussion, Bob? I don't get it. What is illegal here? There are dozens of ways that Aux A can use its ZOC to mess up...
... Mandatory movement creates a HUGE raft of other problems in the rules. Can I use mandatory movement to suck a Ps out of bad going? Can I use it to break...
It is not cheese at all. A perfectly legal move. Lee ... From: Robert Beattie To: DBA@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, August 03, 2007 4:15 AM Subject: [DBA]...
Hi, I don' think it's cheese, as both psiloi and spear can back up and put that nasty Aux in the spear's zoc for 2 pips. Either that, or the spear goes for ...
... had ... OK by me. Can't really see why it would be raised as a rules issue to be honest - clear cut IMO. As for cheesy - well we all know that cheese is in...
" Can't really see why it would be raised as a rules issue to be honest - clear cut IMO........" didn't DK ask this earlier? Bob....any reply? Lee [Non-text...
I can't see anything wrong with it - I'd have attacked the Ps myself, but there are elements that wouldn't have made the move and would have ended up in that...

Hi all, I have uploaded the entry form for this year's event in the files section. The date is confirmed as Sunday 14 October at Southsea Community Centre,...
... This seems fine to me, so much so that I had to check again to see what I was missing. It will be allowed at this year's English DBA Open on 14 October ...
I believe I know the context of this question. I did not see the actual elements, but I was there for the discussion shortly afterwards, and the person on the...

... Alright, I'll play Devil's Advocate. Before I get started ... yes, according to a strict reading of the DBA rules this is legal and the Ps would be pinned....
... That may make the question less odd -- obviously the player was asking because he was familiar with the other rules -- but the rules are still quite clear...
From: "David A. Zecchini" <zekestrom@...> ... So if you play the rules as written its perfectly OK. ... Other DBx rules create no precedent for DBA,...
The person who complained believed the rule did not allow the move I showed. I ruled that it did. The person still did not think this is how it could be...

The move seems legal. While I agree that there should not be a rule to prevent this - see DK's mandatory move rules are a disaster message - I do agree with...
... I think it's fine. I have no clue why anyone would have contested that, and as others have noted, it's not even the best move to make. A better one that...
