I am hoping that Tony will take this opportunity to break away from the 12 element stranglehold of DBA. What we need are 3 element infantry units. A three deep pike unit, the Swiss keil-hell in hand to hand combat. And, Swiss pike could all be fast, as was characteristic of their battlefield behavior. Then we have the early Spanish Tercio-one shot and two pikes, using firepower to cause attrition prior to combat. Finally, we have the ECW and later TYW where we have one pike for two shot. Pure shot units can exist, but are very vulnerable to cavalry. Blade units were used with some success by the Spanish against Pike at Ravenna, but with much less success in the open in an earlier battle-I would have to look it up. Certainly good against pike disordered by ground.. Pure shot units exist, and can stop Swiss IF they have the advantage of a wall or ditch or other cover. Otherwise, are likely to flee or be effectively if pike are allowed to close. At Breitenfeld, shot supporting the Swedish horse took very heavy losses according to The Swedish Intelligencer. By the French WOR, mid 16th century, the French Captain Monluc explained it thus. Battles would begin with skirmishing between the shot. The side losing the skirmish would be compelled to attack or face gradual destruction by unanswered fire. Units might pass through each other on the charge-one of the most fun things from Gush's WRG rules. On a tie, mounted might be allowed or required to interpenetrate either foot or horse and wind up facing rear to rear to an enemy formation. This can add some spice to combat outcomes. Just some thoughts... Mike Guth Way to early to tell what will be considered. It is super early so hopefully will not be pulled into too many directions at once. It will be a DBA sized game - not 24 elements etc. Right now we are focused on work out mechanisms. Purchasing DBA 3.0 (or any other version for that matter) will not be necessary for this. And as always this will be FREE. I was hesitant to announce this but I feel I needed some good news after the Recon/Historicon debacle. This is a long process so be patient.

Getting REAL close to burnout on the video scene. There will be other videos at some point but hard to say when and what their subject matter is. Sorry to read that you're a bit pissed off. I really like the unboxing videos: they are like Xmas morning!
Hope things improve. Those are the funnest ones to do (they are short and are not torturous to edit/upload) - so definitely will have more of those.

Great news Tony, something to do to get one's mind off of the void in lieu of Historicon. Yes, especially now. I had already decided to start on it when Recon was canned. Historicon going bye-bye is just more of a reason to focus on this.

I have started working on the preliminary stages on a new Renaissance Period adaptation. Hard to say when this will be out as it will draw from several sources along with some new stuff.
It will also not be called DBA-RRR or RRR anything to avoid confusion.

Getting REAL close to burnout on the video scene.
As of yesterday, we now have had two conventions cancelled which we had done a lot of planning for and a lot of wasted effort. Add to that being overworked at the job. Add to that constant demands for more videos some from people with a lot less on their plate (it is never enough.) Add to that very discouraged that many frequent viewers and enjoyers of videos have not subscribed to channel despite my constant pleas (this will make uploading a lot easier one I get to the 1,000 mark and you get some priority- I am not interested in any monetization just to not take all day to upload these for your viewing) Add to that constant issues come up with the rules as they are terribly organized and not user friendly.
Enjoy the videos I have made for now. I do not intend of taking any of them down. There will be other videos at some point but hard to say when and what their subject matter is.
In other news, the Crown has allowed us to be able to meet one on one as of last week, so we are working on stuff but it isn't at the video stage.

In that case, you put your 4Bd, Sp, 4Pk on 40x15 don't you? Tony - do you even need to ask that question...? P. Honestly, I don't remember what side of the fence you are on. I am FIRMLY in one camp though. Deviation is for deviants.

As I'm a good boy, and do whatever Mr Barker tells me, all my Horde are on 40x30mm bases P. In that case, you put your 4Bd, Sp, 4Pk on 40x15 don't you?

I put 5Hd and 7Hd on 40x30. In retrospect, I would probably prefer the 5Hd on a 40x30 and the 7Hd on 40x40 but I like the 7H looking denser. Looks better that way for me.

in DBA list IV64c voulgiers are listed as 4Bd. I thought a voulge was considered a spear or polearm. It is a polearm, but remember that units are classed in fightiing style, not equipment.

I will be uploading any live videos that I have made on my Facebook group over the next couple of days and putting them onto my Youtube channel. BTW the main reason I wasn't able to do live on Youtube is I stream with mobile and they force you to have 1,000 subscribers. I just recently found out I can upload these after the fact onto the Youtube channel however for increased visibility.

Paul, Is there another link other than the one in the wiki for the file? I can't seem to get it to open. Hi Tony - have you signed in? I had this issue, then realised that you had to sign in to Fandom to access the file P Ok, that worked but one glance at the rules and it made my head hurt. They might not be that bad, but too involved to film a game with them.
