Many thanks for the entertaining reports. Pity that not more players attended; there does seem to be a dearth of DBAers in the South West.

Sadly, I am not able to make the Autumn bash. Good luck to everyone who takes part.

Thanks to Stevie for bringing this to my attention. Some good ideas here. One more option - although I've never tried it - would be to use average dice for regulars and ordinary dice for irregulars - harking back to old WRG rules here. For those who've never come across them, average dice have 1x2, 2x3, 2x4 and 1x5. So, for example, a Later Hoplite army would use average dice versus a Thracian army which would use ordinary dice; Early Imperial Romans would use average dice versus Gauls who would use ordinary dice.

I bought mine - metal rods - from Products for Wargamers at a show in the UK. They have a website. Previously, I've made my own like ammianus.

I'm glad Tony raised this problem. It had not occurred to me that there was any doubt that shooters must shoot at shooters unless there is another target in their TZ. I won't add to the various proposed solutions but I do hope that, via FAQ's or whatever, the way forward can be agreed. It is not a problem for friendly games but it could become an issue in competition games.

Have a look at AlexKalinin facebook page; IIRC there are some painted Xyston EAPs there. You can find a link if you go to his entry on the Bazaar page.

Thanks for the info Tony. What a fantastic feat of organisation. Full marks for the choice of themes. I especially liked the one where you had to field 6 LH or 6 Ps.

Yet more entertainment and food for thought. Very well done chaps, you are maintaining a high standard and long may you continue. I agree that far east armies are fun to play.

Full marks for the latest videos. Watched the Hussite/Medieval German and the Ostrogoth/Lombard battles yesterday and, as with others in this series, they were both entertaining and informative. For example, I hadn't realised that the first deep knight element lost counted as two elements nor had I cottoned on to the fact that artillery quick kills artillery. I really like the new beginnings where the 'cast of characters' is shown and the music is well chosen.

That is top notch painting and basing Vexillia; you'd be forgiven for thinking that they are 28mm figures.

Try Khurassan Miniatures - I think they brought out an 'arab' range a few weeks back.

Apart from the Frome club, are there any other players in Somerset? I live near Taunton.
