Really great looking re-fight. I do prefer DBN for Napoleonic games. I have tried 2x2 which is specifically fpor 2mm figure blocks but the game does not seem to have the same feel as DBN.

I use DBN for Naoleonics, Twilight of the Sun king for War of the Spainish Succession, but there may be an 18th Century version of DBN. ECW I use For King and Parliament, otherwise it is DBA all the way.

I play some wargames on a grid, notably "For King and Parliament" by Simon Miller which is based on the "To The Strongest" rules. I have also used version 2 of "Regiment of Foote" by Peter Pig which is grid based and both work well.
I am going to give DBA on a grid a shot and see how it goes, however I do like DBA 3 as it stands and not sure how I will feel. I will wait and see before giving my final opinion.

I am rersearching and planning to build a British Colonial force and a Zulu Impi (Army) to re-fight the Zulu Campaigns of 1879. I already have the figures in 10mm scale from Irregular Miniatures.
I intend to use the DB- Colonial rules which are a supplement to the DBN rules.

Agree with all thoses sentiments.
Lets also remember those in our own society who sleep rough, who have fallen through net, are down and out with very little hope.
I know of a wonderful Salvation Army lady who, with other volunteers is providing a Christmas meal for 60 0f those people on the streets, regardless of race, skin colour or creed.
Not just at Christmas but through out the year she is arranging the giving of food, shelter, warm showers and cloth washing facilaties so that dignity can remain.
Most of us will hopefully never be without the bare essientials, because when they are gone the only thing left is hope and that hope has to be kindled by kindness, understanding and love, because if hope dies, so does mankind.
I believe that the greatest enemy of mankind is ignorance of the plight of those we see around us everyday. Many fall by bad desisions, poor choices or fall victim of that feeling of being inadequate, not able to cope and then turn to alcohol or drugs to dull the pain.
We cannot stop the horrors of the world but we can identify with a fellow human being, a kind word, offer of help, or a listening ear may just make a small difference, a glimmer of hope,.
As the Jewish saying goes, "Save one life, and you save the entire world"
Let us all have a joyous, peaceful and Happy Christmas, and should we chance to see a fellow human in distress, let us remember, there, but for the grace of God goes each and everyone of us.

Can't wait. Would they be adaptable for the War of the Spanish Succession do you think?

Great pictures and report. Where can the DBSYW playtest rules be found?
Sounds interesting.

I have to admit I had a senior moment! The models I have ordered from Irregular are 10mm not 6mm as I said. Think I was confused as I was using my 6mm Italian Wars armies so had 6mm on the brain. I believe my Doctor made an appointment for me at the Memory Clinic, but can't remember when.

I have ordered a 6mm Zulu and British army from Irregular Miniatures' Inspired by re watching Zulu and Zulu Dawn films. Wondering which DBA would be the best rules. HotE, ie Hordes of the Empire, is a Hott derivative by Terry Webb (on this forum) and two others, and works very well. Has army lists for Anglo-Zulu War (and loads more). Thanks for this I will look into it. Sounds ideal.

That looks fantastic! Love the figures and terrain items. I would challenge you with my French Army but as my guys are only 2mm high a hefty stomping session would ensure your victory!

Certainly more attractive than George Bush, but not sure who was the better singer.
