If there were a kindle version of the core rules (in particular the army lists) that would relieve a lot of pressure it seems. I did not count every army in the list for Sue's book but I would say there seems to be roughly 70+ army lists. That is not a bad investment of $10 US if you want to learn the game and decide if DBA is for someone on the fence.

Do yourself a favor and buy some bases and give some armies a try first. I bought some bases for 15mm, 20x40mm and 30x40mm for foot and horse. It has allowed me to play and narrow the armies before I spent hundreds of dollars from Essex lol! Rulers and bases www.litko.net/search.php?search_query=Dba&x=0&y=0Miniatures www.essexminiatures.co.uk - the standard everyone must measure up to www.baueda.com - terrain, game mats (next on my list 2’x2’ mat) and some nice Roman Marian miniatures

I am getting back into DBA and looking to see if there is anything in Indy or Chicago. I am willing to travel which is why I mention both cities.

I have not played in years and I am finally getting back into the game with 3.0. I am ordering a couple of 15mm armies from Essex and had a question on basing. My armies will likely be Late Crusaders, Vikings and an enemy of one of them so I can teach others to play as well. I cut my teeth with 2.x with Vikings so I have a soft spot for them. As I look at Vikings 3-40a and 3-40b as an example, this got me thinking about how I should base them. 3Bd would be on 40x20mm base and the 4Bd could be on 40x15-20mm bases. I read the rule "Players should keep as closely as possible to the minimum depths recommended..." So from this I should use 40x15mm base for 4Bd. This leads me to believe there has to be reason I get the choice. Do other army lists in other games use 40x20mm so perhaps I should use 20mm in case I ever go to something else? Is it so few other rules I should not care. I am also thinking down the road that from tournament perspective or just playing with other people perhaps I should be as legally exact as possible. This leads me to believe what the benefit of 40x15mm is. I have to believe shorter base allows for better maneuverability. I am sure I am over thinking this but due to the costs of shipping from Essex to the US, I want to order everything right the first time.
Thanks in advance.

Anything listed should be stated as opinion. Nowhere do I see references with authoritative sources and a wiki is not authoritative lol! I love how on the Internet, everyone is a critic. With multiple books published, Phil is correct until proven wrong. He even lists sources in his rules. Perhaps a newer book is published with new scholarly information, then list it. This post is already getting long with personal opinions.
