I've posted another group of pictures in the file titled "Action Photos," this time showing some troop dispositions during action on 1/22/2003. I'll leave the...
... Well the motivation to do more than just a few units for painting fun, or for use as generic grunt-types in my Warhammer Fantasy Army, came from getting...
I got back from Barrow last night and have pretty well thawed out now. ;-) Looking forward to rolling some DBA dice tonight at "Fire & Sword". Hope to see...
Alas, I've only just got home from work. We're at crunch time and I'm working later. I expect to be at F&S next get-together with Picts in tow. Work is...
I usually try to see if there's a theme to the results of the games played. For example, in the games two weeks ago, the generalissimo bought the farm each...
Tom can correct me if I have the details wrong, but apparently someone paid Kyle a visit in the last day or so, saying that his "DBA group" would like to start...
After seeing Paul's copy of Stillman and Tallis AANE last Wednesday, I realize more than ever that I absolutely had to have a copy -- after all, it seems...
AANE, or "The two Nigels" as I like to call it (does anyone remember the 70s era BBC show, The Two Ronnies?), it worth its weight in gold. I ran across my copy...
How unexpected. I just did a seach on bn.com for Yadin's book and found seven copies--one of them in the original Hebrew! As exciting as this is, I'm a bit...
I gotta question about Elamites. I could probably figure it out by reading up on it in "The Two Nigels", as David calls AANE, or other sources, but I'll be...
David, copies of "The Art of Warfare in Biblical Lands", that you mentioned, are available for considerably less on my favorite network of independent...
... Well, comparing the DBM lists to the DBA lists, I would say either 1/5b or 1/5c. Riding platforms or straddle cars are available in the DBM list from...
... That would be me ... After checking with the rest of our group, looks like I'm the only one available on Weds p.m., so guess I'll just show up on *your*...
A cheery, warm welcome to you, Dan! I'll look forward to meeting you at our next Game Night. Also looking forward to seeing the terrain boards, armies and...

The figures (Chariot 15s) are dead-ringers for the 7th Century BC (or "Neo-Elamite") figures pictured as Nos. 161 and 164 in AANE (aka "The Two Nigels"). So,...
Paul, I haven't ordered directly from Chariot, but I did recently order some Chariot miniatures from a new online store in Texas call Little Wars. They are...
In the past, I had ordered some Chariot figs from Paul at Sabers Edge. Part of them were backordered, and it took a while for that to be filled. I think this...

... some Chariot miniatures from a new online store in Texas call Little Wars. D'oh! That'll teach me to respond to an email without reading other responses...
I've posted another dozen pictures taken at the Fire & Sword gaming night on the 5th of February. They are at the end of the "Action Photos" Folder, so you'll...
Thanks for your continued, fine photo-journalsim, Andy. I like the mix of close-ups and bird's-eye views. Well done. The next time my hapless Sassanids take...
Just curious if this weekend's rainy weather and/or the 3-day weekend will yield any new armies at this Wedensday's DBA Game Night? My "new" (20 years in the...
My ferocious Pictish horde will be making its debut on Wednesday. Long in coming, these bad boys are tanned, rested, and loaded for bear. As Alexander styled...
Guten Tag Well, A horde of big (25 mm), burley and hygienically challenged Early Germans are going to be marching out of the woods of Germania. They are ...
Hey Paul and coy., I plan on showing up on Wednesday night. What with the concussion I suffered last week and the fact that I am going in for surgery on...
Lotsa games and gamers at "Fire & Sword" last night. 15 games, spread over three tables. Veteran DBA-er, Chris Craft, was able to join in for the first time,...
Last night at "Fire & Sword", Chris Craft (I think) mentioned something about some exotic, medieval SE Asian army's (Malayan, Siamese?) use of colorful tarps,...
I remember the discussion Chris had with Kevin Donovan about that... Just can't remember the army. My DBM book IV is in the trunk, I'll go leaf through it. E ...
I blame my die for the poor showing of not only my Picts but of virtually every other army I commanded. I used a new blue job instead of the old ivory-colored...
