Are there any other active or potential DBA players in Northern Bulgaria? Alternatively, is anyone interested in HotT, DBR or DBN?
I live in Oblast Veliko Tarnovo, about 14 kilometres from Gorna Oryahovitsa. I have transport.

Just found your post looking for anyone interested in wargaming in Bulgaria - didn't expect to find someone only 50km away! It's been a while since I last dabbled in DBA, but willing to try again.
For a good few years now I have concentrated on 20mm WW2, using various rule sets, but have a large collection of other figures / periods, although very little in 15mm.
I am, at the moment, living in the UK, but as soon as I can sell my property here, will be moving to Dimcha, where my wife is allowing me to have sole use of the barn for my gaming.

Very good to hear from you, Steve. Wow! Just had a look at the map, and it looks as if Dimcha is just past Recen, on the road to Pavlikeni.
I live in a village called Draganovo, which is a little to the north of Dolna Oryahovitsa, which is a little to the north of Gorna Oryahovitsa. I am not far away, on the other side of the Ruse to Veliko Tarnovo road.
Concerning 20mm WWII, a few years ago I started to paint up some of the Airfix Japanese figures for a company level game. The project floundered because someone else was to do the US marines, and I have a feeling that they didn't get far.
Ancients are my main wargaming interest, although I have ECW and Napoleonic armies in 6mm. Last year I started painting a couple of AWI armies in 6mm. I also dabble in Hordes of the Things from time to time. Most of my armies are 15mm or 6mm, but I did go through a 25/28mm phase, and have some armies.
If I can work out how to use the personal messages function of this forum, I will send you my email address.

My girlfriend (here in North America) is Bulgarian! Small world indeed, guys.  Now if I can get her playing DBA, and we can swing a trip back home soon, we may have a mini tournament lol... |

ammianus and @tony Aguilar Sadly, I don't have Khan Krum's Early Bulgar army, but I do happen to have the IV/25 Later Bulgar, which represents the Second Empire. We are a lot closer to Veliko Tarnovo than Pliska, so the Second Empire tends to be in our minds more.

How fantastic!! I have just retired to North Bulgaria, the real North! just outside Vidin in a village called Boynitsa. thought there were no wargamers here at all! I played DBA version1 (yes I am that old!!) and DBM for a while. Still have my Sassanid Persians and Arab Conquest armies, and have ordered DBA 3.0 which looks good. Hope maybe we can get together some time?
