Three periods Keith; good God man what has gotten into you? What has Johnny foreigner done to you whilst in hospital? Questions will need to be asked in the House tomorrow to ascertain answers to the above.<br /><br />You have seemingly spent the prolonged Winter period in chrysalis form and have now emerged as a true wargaming butterfly. Welcome to the club.<br /><br />I've never played DBA but have enjoyed the Dux Bellorum games that I've played that seem to have something in common with the former. I look forward to possibly giving it a go sometime in the future.Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430463007570237159.post-20002932673007143322013-04-17T20:15:16.540+01:002013-04-17T20:15:16.540+01:00Just rediscovered DBA and HOTT myself.

I've found myself increasingly interested over the last 3 years in small, quick to setup, play and take down games. <br /><br />Nothing wrong with DBA though (or HoTT) though I've only played a few games in the 20 years. Before that I played a fair amount for a while including some good multi-player Big Battle games.<br /><br />Enjoy.<br /><br />-Ross Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430463007570237159.post-29088649395016361642013-04-17T13:44:08.417+01:002013-04-17T13:44:08.417+01:00Actually I quite agree that DBA is a very good rul...Actually I quite agree that DBA is a very good rule set . . . and the "Fantasy" version ("Hordes of the Things") might even be better.<br /><br />It is surprising how many different types of actions can actually be fought using DBA.<br /><br />So, sir, ENJOY!<br /><br /><br />-- Jeff<br />Bluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171345165563779232noreply@blogger.com
