I have a thing for dark age British armies, which in DBA can be rather single dimensional. I stumbled across Dux Bellorum as an alternative for doing some gaming in that era and was wondering if anyone has experience with them?

Yes - I ahve played them and the previous set called Glutter of ravens. I really lke them and particularly like the emphasis on leadership. Well worth the price - normally under a tenner on Amazon UK. There is also a forum for all of Dan Mersey's rules. Simon

...it is not the British dark age alone. I like the european dark age it self. With the help of the DB rules i could discover a new dimension of DA wargaming. There are new winning conditions too. In Miniature Wargames issue 361 from may 2013 there is a great scenario by Steve Jones: command challenge...

Dux Bellorum is written by Dan Mersey, before he wrote Lion Rampant and that stable of rules. I have them and liked them. But a number of my gaming mates turned up their noses years back. They were miffed at how many new rules I was trying at the time, so I don't know how much that really counts.
