I keep reading how DBA is "chess-like" compared to other miniatures.
Not sure if this is a DBA variant or a chess variant.
Played on 8 x 8 chess board with with each square equivalent to 1 BW
Middle 16 squares are bad going with one of the middle 4 squares being BUA.
DBA pieces placed as follows:
King - KNT/HCH (General), designated as CAMP
Queen - KNT/HCH
Bishops - CAV/LCH, or CAM
Knights - LHO/LCM
Rooks - Choice of SCH, ELE, ART, or WWG
Middle four Pawns - Choice of SPR, PIK, BLD, or HRD
Two left and two right Pawns - Choice of AUX, WBD, PSI, or BOW
Unit moves alternate as in chess
Movement same as in DBA (no piece forced to move diagonally, e.g.) with diagonal moves and facing rotations equal to 2 squares.
Units must face a square side.
Combat takes place as in DBA.
Thoughts or comments?
