I can assure you that if I was the only one that wanted to play a certain version I would end up with no players. You have to keep everyone engaged in the process and you need each other to have a successful event. It is same thing with attitude. You may be a great player skill-wise, but no one wants to play with you because of your demeanor, you will end up with no one to play with. The social part of it is very important, otherwise you could just play video games etc.

Tuesday night DBA has now moved to Monday night. We knocked out 6 games yesterday evening, which now puts my DBA 3.0 game total to 251 games.

I forgot to mention that we are enjoying the heck out of DBA 3.0.
There were a few elements that we had our doubts about their usefulness, but we have found that everything seems to have its purpose.

Within the last week we have knocked out another seven games of DBA 3.0. This last week's theme has been BUAs - Forts and Cities. It was pretty much an Open format, but armies had to be able to be of a terrain type that had a BUA AND the defender HAD to use a BUA.
New totals as of yesterday.
DBA 2.2: 393 games
DBA 2.2+: 583 games
DBA 3.0: 268 games

DBA 2.2: 393 games DBA 2.2+: 586 games DBA 3.0: 268 games Tony, I'd be curious to see how you find BUAs playing out. We love them! We just fought a battle in which the BUA was a Marian Roman marching fort, and the Romans were obviously very keen to kick the Barbarians out and retake it. And of course, the Gauls had lots of friends show up to support their beleaguered cousins inside the fort.... A superb battle. We also find the rules for "cities" (which we interpret as small, walled, defended settlements of perhaps a few thousand at most) very engaging. We play on the larger board, but do adjust the deployment distances a bit, so that the BUA can be a tiny bit more central. We suggest a max of 8BW instead of 6BW from battlefield edges. Curious to get your thoughts...

Well, next weeks scheduled plan is mandatory cities with Book 1 armies. We are certainly "having fun" with BUAs. Our group is always up for a new challenge.

Well, for a new challenge, play with a BUA, a river and a waterway... The way real DBA-men play...

Last week we hit a new record. We played 9 games in 5 hours. Yesterday we surpassed that record playing 12 games in 5.5 hours. Funny thing is that we didn't even rush. Current totals as of last night: DBA 2.2: 393 games DBA 2.2+: 583 games DBA 3.0: 346 games and counting

You know you are getting spoiled when you ONLY get to play 7 games in our weekly session. Current totals as of last night: DBA 2.2: 393 games DBA 2.2+: 583 games DBA 3.0: 353 games and counting I'm looking forward to the number of 3.0 games surpassing the number of 2.2 games.

In Switzerland we have only started logging our games in 2015 (the website is updated monthly). In the last two years I seem to have played about 20 games a year. Calculating back to 2008 when I started playing DBA gives my a rough total of 180 games. Up to 2013 it was DBA 2.2, in 2014 we switched to 2.2+. Looking forward to hit the 200 DBA games mark this year!

I haven't done an update in a while.
I am now up to:
DBA 2.2: 393 games
DBA 2.2+: 583 games
DBA 3.0: 367 games
I still have a ways to go to make DBA 3.0 the most played version of DBA so far.
