I have been wargaming longer than I care to mention but have seen the development of DBA from the ashes of the W.R.G. Ancient rules and must agree that DBA 3.0 is by far the better version of the rules to date.The transition time between the decision to update 2.2 to 3.0 was a bit of a roller coaster with some heated discussions leading sadly and inevitably to the split in the community. However, I feel 3.0 evolved in the right way as there was so much input and discussion,testing and more discussion on the forum that resulted in a more realistic and playable set of rules.....yes it is almost impossible to create a set of rules that isnt without flaws and everyone has their own version on how the rules should or could be improved...that my fellow dice-dealers is the fruit for discussion and future developments....long may we play.đ

That's exactly what I like best in DBA: open spaces, wide landscapes, no grid.

Haven't wandered by the forum in quite awhile, but it's been popping up in google searches of late. We're still going strong with monthly games of 2.2+ at the FLGS. Using army lists from any edition. Some of the 2nd ed srmies were really bad interpretations of the preceding DBM armies, and the 3rd ed changes of those are particularly welcome.

Welcome back đđđŒâŠgood to hear the games at the store are still happening. (Never did get to visit -Iâm no longer in the job which used to take me to your neck of the woodsâŠ).

Thanks Martin. After the pandemic hiatus, games are going strong with a bunch of new players now too. Good thing some of us have large collections of armies so we can keep doing historical themes with enough to go around for everybody! Basic club rule is 'new armies get played' so when folks finish new ones, that sets the theme for the next month. : 3
And we've got a quorum of folks now who wanted to jump into DBN, so we have that going once a month now too.

I use DBN for Napoleonic, and the derivatives which can be found on the DBN web site to play Colonial, American civil War and the new one just out Seven Years War which I actually use for war of the Spanish Succession.
DBN I feel is the way to go for era's later than the renaissance.
