A couple of BBDBA reports: link I got to try out my Carthaginians as a BBDBA army. I enjoyed reading your “training day” report as it brought back memories of my own growing pains. It took me a while to feel comfortable about the number or elements per command, their assigned tasks and pip distribution. The Seleucid is a strong army to field, thoughI think your opponents might cringe at seeing a Gobbo-Seleucid one.

Thanks. I think many gamers are familiar with bigger rule system, so BBDBA isn't such a big adjustment, but to date I've only played DBA. I found your blog posts on BBDBA in 3.0 helpful.
The Goblins have been used a lot to represent armies I don't have - their behemoths are handy. They've done Classical Indians, Samanids and Ghaznavids. I figured the Carthaginians might meet a Successor opponent, so why not try the kitchen sink one!

I've written up my first report on my very enjoyable trip to Christchurch for Conquest. It's actually the last practice game of BBDBA before I left, facing Nick's Palmyrans. linkMy C-in-C remembered to use his +1 to avoid dying. That he had to showed I've still got some learning to do!

Good report of the games. The Medieval Scandinavian must have been disappointing, so close...

Good report of the games. The Medieval Scandinavian must have been disappointing, so close... It was, but I think my dice had been pretty exceptional, so I couldn't really complain. it was a satisfyingly hard-fought game, and one that for once I took my time and wasn't rash.

I can see those Spanish on the right! They still seem a tempting target, if I can just forget their ability to withstand my attack on the day...
A great game, and an excellent report.

Thanks, I was very lucky that that flank fought so well; I think it almost defeated the command opposite it. Putting my warband against a pike general was probably what led to the middle command collapsing.

Great reports Mark. Our BBDBA game was such a close run thing. Cheers, Yes, I was so sure I had it, until those LH turned it all around (not that the knights weren't causing problems). That's what makes DBA fun, though (and my dice had been very good at the start).

Yeah the LH were certainly the heroes of the game. They were the only unit between rampaging elephants and my camps, and they were able to take out the elephants. The turning point of the game.
Cheers,
