I think the DBX systems, and especialy DBA are a fantastic way to play wargames. I like the lack of 'casualties' and 'morale' testing, I see these things in ...

... It is a good period. One thing I do is to reduce the cf vs foot for 8 of the Viking blade elements (the Hird) to +4. This evens out that list more. Some...

I like the brief army lists in DBA, to field a nice army, historically representative, you have to do some background research. A lot of the stranger armies...
... That is one way of putting it. I prefer to view it as unnecessary fiddliness. I play other games that use square bases and like the effect that it has on...
Dear Fanatici I politely asked PB about the problem of Camels in Dunes fighting mounted enemy in gg. His reply this time was very kwick, and he actually wrote...
An interesting discussion has developed in the HOTTREVISION group about recoils. One writer says an element that must recoil does so as far as it can, and then...
How does this impact DBA either way. I can see how it might in rules with Zone of Death. I guess it would be is Sp supported by SP recoil. But can't go the...
I am interested in the effect on the friendly element behind. Does it get moved at all. Consider a row of cavalry with a second row behind and then a little...
Hei Bob, A very good one for discussion. I do like this, it's hard, tricky... n very technical. Here's my go: Quote "A recoiling element starting with enemy in...

As someone who has never played DBM, but who plays more HOTT than DBA, it is the differences between DBA and HOTT basings that cause me trouble - In particular...
Hello in DBM, the shallow bases are for Wb(S) and Wb(O) = 4Wb and the deeper ones for Wb(F) = 3Wb. DBA lumps all warbands together but not DBM : 3Wb are more...

I think if you are intending to play DBA exclusively, then you just need to do what you feel is right. Certain basing is pretty unachievable in 25mm anyway,...
I built a mediteranean villa at the weekend, it is 180 by 180, three base widths by three base widths. well within the specced size limits. It just seems a...
Hi I have a growing tendency to let the figues speak for themselves. My 25mm Dacians use 5 figures on double-depth bases (for use as DBE Wb(F) in DBM - 5...

Richard, Such a BUA does cover much space. However, I do not think you can fit it in the available space. There is only a space 6 inches wide by 9 inches ...
I built several for a tournament last fall that were 2.5 EBW square. Large enough to look good but not so large as to be overwhelming. I am building one...
Bob, You are correct, my BUA is actually less than 6BW long (I checked when I got home) and does fit. I originally intended it to be 6BW long and then did the...
For artillery in a BUA I am assuming the arc of fire rules are relaxed, to fire all around?? no rules here to check... Here is a nice site to see some 1st...
