I play "De Bellis Antiquitatis" ("The Wars of Antiquity") or DBA is a set of fast-play rules for ancient and medieval wargaming using miniature figures. The rules are authored by Phil and Sue Barker and Richard Bodley Scott and published by the Wargames Research Group. The current edition (DBA 2.2) was released in January 2004

A free version of the rules (okayed by the above mentioned authors) is available from "Washington Area De Bellis Antiquitatis Gamers" it lacks the Army lists, but is an excellent guide.

A supporting site "Fanaticus" is the best site for this game:

The game can be played in about an hours time, uses relatively few miniatures. The rules cover all armies from 3000 B.C. to about 1492 A.D. Take a peak!
