Now that we have a published date for this year's event, has it been decided whether the BUA and scoring rules will be the same as for last year, or will they...
Hi, As far as scoring in the Group stages, I propose to keep last years system which seemed to work well. With BUA's, I am open to opinions. Last year, BUA's...
I think the DBA2.1 proposal is that the compulsory terrain for Arable is either BUA or Road (defender's choice) and BUA must be within 900p of two edges...
Yes - all competitors must register. The reason is partly so that I can know how many are coming and arrange the competitions accordingly, but it is also to...

Richard, Given that there are draft versions of DBA V2.1 in circulation (and changing on a fairly regular basis), and that V2.1 _could_ be finalised before the...
Phil says he wants to have changes complete by July 1. We plan to use 2.1 at Historicon and will do evaluations for Phil. I suspect that might revise on the...
Bill, It is my intention that we should use v2.1 if possible. However this relies on a definitive set of amendments for 2.1 being widely available before the...
Richard and all For better or worse, Phil want to set the amendments in stone by July 1. Some of us are suggesting he leave a month for playtesting. If so ...
[-->] Bob wrote How do folks in UK feel about the 25mm game on the 3 foot board. [-->] I feel torn between the increased portability for a 'hard' board (I...
As the official amendments are available (copy in Files section of this group) and there is plenty of time for people to practice and get used to them, we will...
... Personally, I'm not fussed. I quite like the width a 4' board gives but dislike the amount of depth you get. Personally I would start at 4' square and...
Clever. Invader picks his edge and then any terrain on the players' edges is moved forward 6" and that becomes the back edge. Bob ... <image.tiff> ... Bob ...
Could you just give the invader a 1800 pace deployment zone? If they want to deploy up front so they can get to grips early they can. This would also allow...

Indeed. I was answering Simon's question in terms of personal preference rather than for competition. I certainly still intend to have separate 25mm as well...
Richard I think it was Bob asking for what us English guys prefered, I know in th US there was a clamour from the 15mm guys for 32 inch battle fields. Playing...
Simon, We have everything! Mind you, Richard may want you to bring your own terrain. But yes, we have all sorts of terrain, and various building that can be...
Alec Great stuff, as long as you have at least five bits of max sized steep hills/rough/dunes/woods for my Psiloi to hide out in! Assuming I lose the...
Does this mean you're definately using the amendments as written, or do you propose to experiment first and possibly ignore some rules (for example using the...
I write as a complete outsider here; I am neither an organizer nor, sadly, can I be a player. I write from my perspective as the organizer of the big DBA...

Just out of interest, where did you buy the trestle tables and how much were they? I'd like to get my hands of some but can't find a supplier. Steve Aspinall ...
you can get good plastic trestles from B&Q for about £20 a pair - black and yellow things. I have used them for nearly four years to hold my Scalextrics track...
