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....
Richard I just had a pal say his 25mm entry was rejected because of a full ist - do you need three more to complete a set in 25?? he was Andrew Fisher BTW.. S...
Hi Simon, I've been thinking about it all day. I need at least 1 more entry, preferably three, and not necessarily in 25mm. I was thinking I could do 3 groups...
Well, it says use only one army list too but that is changed :) Cannot go by what the rules say, what the Director says is what counts! ... <image.tiff> ... ...
It'll certainly be interesting to see how the 'options' option works! Personally I'm not bothered either way. I've always planned to take along the Sub-Roman...
I have not (knowingly) changed any other rules. We are using 3 foot square tables. Having tried it out at Farnborough, most players approved of that change....
Personaly I don't like the 3 footer for 25mm, but there ya go, one can't have everything. I am just glad someone in the UK has taken the trouble to organise a...
Simon I've considered running a DBA tourney in the North/Midlands - possibly 6mm and 15mm competitions.... if there is interest, it could be a goer next year...
I am in the process of selling off my 15mm armies on E-bay - as the 2.1 ammendments have made the scales play so identical now I don't need the little guys any...
