After the group phase, those players who did not make it into the knockout stage can take part in BBDBA battles. That at least is how it is supposed to work. ...
last year we were not allowed to change options within the army after the first round. Is this happening again, or is it free choice of options for each round...
Alas, I will not be there so I won't offer an opinion. Let me mention a few considerations that came up when this was discussed at length on one group or the...
Well there is the line in the rule book that says it should be the same 12 elements for a competition or campaign... However, it's swings and roundabouts...
that was my problem, not having played in a dba tourney before, running into classical indian while using alans was most unpleasent, being able to adjust and...
I would consider anything included in the list as being available to the commander for the battle. He should be allowed to tailor his forces to the enemy. This...
I'm sure of the size, but not the army yet. Actually, when is the closing date for entries? ... From: Alec Sharman To: English_DBA_Open@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
1st October is the final deadline. That doesn't stop people sending their entries earlier! :-) ... wrote: > I'm sure of the size, but not the army yet. ... ...
Following the impassioned plea by Matt Bennett in the September Slingshot I will be allowing an army to choose between any options within their chosen sub-list...
I still hope to play, health permitting. Alec. ... From: lionheartrjc To: English_DBA_Open@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, September 13, 2003 9:26 PM Subject:...
Richard That's a really good system to run and should make it more fun for the players. Ater all the options are there for a reason. I look forward to playing....
Hello Richard (and list members) Just my 2c woth re the army selection issue. I for one would be loath to see the old rules change. For the following reasons:...
John is correct in his point 2 that it does state the same mix should be used for all of a campaign or a competition. It seems in the case of an open...
So will we all be playing Ancient Siege Warfare for the weekend, or will we be intelligently and sensibly treating a BUA as an optional terrain piece and also...
I believe the program is for 2.1 to be played - which sensibly has a BUA or a road as the mandatory Arable terrain features. ... From: John McLennan...
... a BUA or ... An improvement I agree, but still well short of concentrating on just the battle, which is what calling a BUA BGo will do. Socially I enjoy...
they are smaller too and have to be in a corner. I think Phil is sort of getting the message but doesn't want to admit defeat just yet. ... From: John McLennan...
Well we have 36 entries, 20 in the 15mm competition and 16 in the 25mm competition. For the 15mm competition: I am intending to have 5 groups of four. The...
Thanks for the 2c worth, I am damned if I do and damned if I don't. Having upset everyone by not allowing options last year, I will upset the rest by allowing...
Richard you're a brave man for trying something new. I hope the competitors appreciate your efforts. I'd like to express my thanks to you for organising the...
Phil's theory of pre-gunpowder warfare which is modelled in DBA has the role of the BUA as an important part of the field warfare of the day. He says that BUAs...
Try to get a full evaluation of how the unlimited options goes. Maybe a one page survey What army did you use what changes did you make from game to game why ...
It's only one element in the for heck's sake. One element grovelling in a BUA in the corner is one element you can safely ignore with the contempt it deserves...
Well I received 3 more entries this morning, so I can actually make 24 in the 15mm competition and 16 in the 25mm competition. So the plan is now 6 groups of...
Bob, I will try and get some feedback. How do competitions in the USA work? Have any of them tried the options version or do they all play the pick your army...
I have been involved with DBA tournaments at the US Nationals (winter and summer) since the first one in '92. There has never been an "all options" event....
