Thanks a lot for yours messages... We had playing like yours answers because it seem logical after reading the rules... But we need confirmations and you do. ...
1. If the front corner of your flanking Aux is in contact with the front corner of the Blade, then you are fighting the Blade only (Blades only get rear...
All, I am getting back into DBA after a looong break. I have decided to pick up the very nice Wargames Factory Romans, Celts and Numidians. It seems pretty...

I'm currently painting up some 15mm Donnington miniature Galatians for my Seleucid army. Two of their figures look very un Celtic I'm assuming this is a...
Claudio, Thanks for the information, Yes, I have since discovered that the German would indeed have a different look from the Celts. I am surprised at your...
well, to begin with let me clarify this is all rather speculative, there are sources for the look of the Galatians of the early period, most notably the very...
Cicero does say that Deiotarus had 30 cohorts of men armed in the Roman fashion. PK ... From: "sheikyurdices" <claudio@...> To: <DBA@yahoogroups.com> ...

Just to say hallo to all before I go back to lurking. I have come to DBA late having been put off by various aspects eg the small'armies', the random move pip...
