DBA v2.2 is now up to nine for Saturday and thirteen for Sunday. Still a few days to get a last minute registration in. A great result!! A DBA comp in Sydney with over 20 people (albeit spread between v2.2 and v3) hasn't happened for a while.......well done. |

We have lost one of the DBA v3.0 players.
But we still have 20 players combined.

With less than two days to go registrations have been closed.
All DBA participants should have received an email from me with some details about the competitions.
The most important point is 'Be there before 9am'.
See you all on Saturday.
Have fun, good luck...

I had a fantastic couple of days that were well worth the travel (even if my Papal Italians went down in a screaming heap on day 2). My game against Jason, featuring two dead generals and a final death toll of 5-4, was an absolute nail-biting epic.
I'd like to thank Steve for putting this on. Hopefully I'll see some of you chaps at Lanswaster in November or Cancon next year.
Cheers,
Phil

Hi there, thanks indeed to Steve and the MOAB team for another fine event. I'm a 50:50 to make Landwaster.
I watched some of the other ancients games over the weekend and thought, the troop interactions ultimately boil down to a % chance of one side winning, and how long this might take. Now you can get to the end-point with a soup of factors, exceptions, charts, hit points or whatever - but in the end the result with other rules is hardly more realistic or fun that DBA.
As Phil mentions above, the critical moment is usually in sharp focus in DBA and you get a great story. My battle with Jason turned on an Artillery dual, which I won, and the live artillery ganged up with my archers to pick on his archers to prize out a win.
Regards
David F Brown

An enjoyable weekend. 10 great battles. Only had to open the rule book once.
Note to self - don't take Warband to a Knight fight :-)
Looking Forward to Landwaster and Cancon. What to take...
Cheers

Cheers Daz I can tell you for certain that I won't be taking Papal Italians. Those guys are getting a time-out for not behaving themselves and dying without permission  . |

Sincere congratulations to Steve for organising another great comp. The historical pairs format really works well and the traditional campaign on the Sunday is always enjoyable. And thanks to all my opponents for some great games...don't think I had to open the rule book all weekend. That's the great thing about DBA....no rule mongering and as a result, attracts really nice people.
Cheers, Mark

The best monger I could come up with was accidental, I wheeled the end shooting element of a line to put it in arc - it remained in overlap for a later combat as a corner-to-corner contactor with friends.
In DBm(M) such kinked line things don't count as overlaps, but I wasn't sure how it worked in DBA-3 until it came time to compute the close combat. I guess the new conforming rules in V3 mean the kinked lines have their own vulnerability when attacked.
Another great feature was the standard of presentation of armies, they looked great.

Is there a list of armies used? It's fascinating to see the the selection of armies.

Please give us a list of armies and how they finished. It helps us check for play balance in DBA 3.0. We look for use trends and who finished in the top three.

I'm sure that Stephen will post a report for each of the DBA tournaments held at MOAB.
Cheers,
