One more scenario and two more battle reports added to the VB website. I've got another battle report to upload - should be done some time over the weekend. ...
Hi As the first few units of Patrician Romans roll off my production line and the vast bulk of units are starting to look half done I start to ponder what to ...
Hi In my last message I was pondering what to get to fight my Patrician Romans. Well that has been decided for me by a friend who offered to trade my old EIR ...

Looking forward to the battle report but my money is on the Romans unless you have a very deep table or the Roman general takes all levy ( if he is I would...
... Sorry to disappoint you but this first clash will be using Armati, but I will be sure to insist on a return match using VB. Yes, I will, thinking of...
Hi Here are my suggested distances when using figs on 40mm bases and not grouping them or using sabot bases - basically allowing a game with an unmodified DBA ...
Hello all Looks like you've spent some time with a calculator! I think this is a great idea and a very easy way for people to try out the rules without needing...
... Hello all ... Sort of... ... That would be the cheap way out - I play Armati (as confessed earlier) but we had the reduced rulers. Got to use the sacred...
Hi I have a couple of DBA armies (Granadan and Fanatic Berber) that have not seen action yet, so I will try to make time to do a test game with these later in...
Hi Given the fun we had with our multi-player medieval game, I have now started planning a similar thing for my 25mm Romans and Dacians. Still very wooly, but...

I've added another of Paul and Jon's battle reports to the main website (www.visbellica.com). No prizes for guessing who won...but I'm sending my own dice to...

Hi Good thinking on the scale conversion. I did not think of that and my first games were done using the groups of bases you suggest with normal 15mm move ...
Hi, I hope that someone could clarify a few points on skirmishers for me. I've read that skirmish order/missile armed cavalry with "F" orders must close to...
Hi Nigel Q1 Yup, they become disordered. Any base that pivots outside its frontal arc becomes disordered. See the main website for the amendment about...
Dear Moderator, ... I am on a number of Yahoo discussion groups. The only sure-fire way to stop this type of spamming is for you to actively moderate the...
Thanks for the advice Jim...I'll set the group up to do that for a bit. R ... way to stop this type of spamming is for you to actively moderate the group by...
Hi OK, now you've got ME confused! Q2 If this is correct can they move, turn 360 degrees (I assume 180 degrees was meant here), and shoot to their rear. ... I...
... Thank god for that! Anyway, painting more Late Romans and getting Saxons tonight, so VB Dark Ages games are getting close! Steve has also agreed to a Late...
