Collision Course DBA 3.0 Tournament
This is a DBA 3.0 game with special rules for deployment.
As described by Australian designer David Lawrence “This format modifies the deployment to simulate the accidental encounter between two marching forces and poses interesting tactical challenges as your army arrives on the field in three columns. It allows different armies and a different style of generalship to shine”
The rules modifications for Collision Course are available for free on the Facebook pages of “DBA” and “DBA & HOTT” and are in the files section listed as the Word document named “CCV Local Conditions.docx
GM: Mitch Harbach

The list of available "Generals" are those considered BRILLIANT GENERALS by PB in DBMM:
These are the very rare charismatic commanders whose talents cannot easily be simulated by players without special rules.
Innovative strategists, quick to spot and exploit fleeting opportunities, but risk-takers who lead from the front, they are far
from being a safe pair of hands or perfect generals and may be described (like Talbot) as “hardy rather than prudent” or
(like Caesar) as “escaping by his celerity from fixes got into by his rashness”. Often difficult subordinates and exasperating
commanders to other generals, but adored by troops. Only the following historical generals are Brilliant:

Not sure why this BB adds an additional space when I paste from another document. Annoying.

Does anyone ever play in every single competition from Wednesday night to Saturday night?
If so, how 'fried' is their brain on Sunday?
