...there are rules you would like. You can use the most armies from DBA with a little change. But there are a few new troop types that complete the harmony of the rules. I think Triumph are the rules for you...

...Terrain is a bit problematic in DBA. Rivers or roads are no problem. But mountains or gorges are more difficult. What matters is where another type of terrain begins. But in a fight you have to be able to tell who is up hill. But without elements sliding down. In skirmish games, buildings are in scale with the miniatures. But in DBA you just need to know that there are buildings there...

...Hamburg was a frankish harbour directed to the north sea but for swedish longships the baltic sea closer with more trafic in direction Starigrad later Oldenburg in Holstein or Liubice or later Lübeck in Wagria later Germany more in the east Rostock or Ralswiek on the island of Rügen and in Poland Wolin, Reric and Danzig(Gdańsk).The Rani were a dominant west Slavic tribe based on the island of Rügen and the southwestern mainland across the Strelasund in what is today northeastern Germany. In 1168, the Rani were defeated by King Valdemar I of Denmark... ...so we have 2 Slavic Tribes boarding to the Baltic sea. From Starigrad and Lübeck the Wagri and from the east and Poland the Rani as naval trading powers. Use for the Wagri and other Abodrit tribes 3/1b. Use for the Rani 3/1a but change to the polish list from 3/60a until 1168. Ad for both tribes littoral as hometerrain...

...next ideas about fire are from Chris Peers rule from: too few to fight, too many to die: Arson Any fighting element may attempt to set fire to a village, tall grass, or crop if it is in direct contact with that portion of terrain during the bombardment phase. The pillaging element cannot shoot in the same round still be involved in hand-to-hand combat, and cannot complete the attempt if taken off the field. Regulars or skirmishers need a 4 or more on D6, other troops need 5 or 6 to set something on fire. A player can also try to set his own village on fire so as not to have to hand it over to the opponent. But this has a negative impact on the morale of your own troops. The entire burning village and all vegetation within 6” of the source of the fire immediately catches fire and is considered lost. By the end of the movement phase of the following round, all elements must have left the scene of the fire. Those who do not manage to escape in time are considered lost. The fire lasts until the end of the game and the entire area can no longer be entered. From the 2nd round after the fire breaks out, smoke is created which moves with the wind at a speed of 3" per round and completely blocks visibility. The wind direction when a fire breaks out is randomly determined using an agreed method

...about 10 years ago i made my late samurai homerules but all in german. But this is the part about fire: Set fire Ninjas or ranged troops can attempt to set fire; To do this, set fortifications or entire villages or forest areas on fire. To do this, the fire-laying element of a round must be in contact with the relevant feature, neither shooting at enemy troops nor actively engaging in close combat. If the arsonist is destroyed by enemy action or if he rebounds, his attempt to set fire is deemed to have failed. A fire-creating element requires at least a 5 (Ninjas:4) to set that feature on fire. The fire spreads directly from the source of the fire in the direction of the wind. At the end of the current round, the fire has covered an area within 3 base widths. In the following round, all troops must leave the burning area. All troops not evacuated by then are considered destroyed. From then on, the fire burns until the end of the game and is considered inaccessible to all troops. From the second round onwards, the fire covers the area within a radius of 3 base widths. In the third round, the village, temple or fortification (up to 4 base widths) burns ablaze. Smoke spreads from the source of the fire in the direction of the wind. The smoke completely blocks the line of sight. Fires cannot be started while it is raining....

...maybe this will become house rules since street fighting is a bit too early for DBA. Hamburg and Reric were port cities, which is why dragon ships and cargo ships could land in the city area or close to it. In addition to the houses, there also needs to be space for markets and animal enclosures... ...for the defenders the home city is good terrain, but for the attackers it is difficult terrain. Depending on the dice roll: 1 or 2 rounds...

...808 Danes under Gudfred plunder Reric, 845 Danish attack on Hamburg; this are 2 examples of naval landings on enemy towns that means in difficult terrain. Can you fight a battle in Hamburg or Reric? Can the defender raise a improvised army? using hordes, psiloi, archers or spearmen. Any ideas???
