DBA… Another game and my Dacians.

Greetings…

On Friday we had another couple of games of DBA.

It was a chance to get two new armies on to the table… My Dacians and Israel’s Spanish…

Israel and Alessandro took the Spanish and Matt and I took the Dacians…

We went for two players a side again as we are still collectively getting our heads around the rules and this way kept us a bit more focused…

We had two games… The Spanish won the first and the Dacians the second.

An excellent result I think.

Here are some pictures from the first game…

My dice throwing was up to its usual high standard.

The second game…

It was interesting using our new armies as it gave us a chance to try out a good part of the rules… there was a fair amount of looking things up but it all proved profitable and it sparked of a number of interesting conversations.

I am sure that after a few more sessions we will get quite slick at things.

My Dacians…

The General (4Wb)…

Horsemen (Cv) and Sarmatians (3Kn)…

Falxmen (3Bd)…

Warriors (3Wb)…

Javelinmen (Ps)…

For the uninitiated this is all the options that the Army Lists allow… 12 stands equals an army.

The letters/numbers in brackets are the unit definitions in DBA.

The figures are from Forged in Battle…

The figures were painted in my usual way using a variety of muted colours for the clothing and slightly bolder colours for the shields… 

All the best. Aly

 

A very slight distraction… DBA.

Greetings…

As everyone clearly knows I am very focused in my collecting… so this distraction will certainly surprise most of you…

Honest…😜

Last Friday I had a fun game of DBA with three chums from work… Alessandro, Israel and Steven.

Alessandro had played before as had I (although a long time ago)…Israel and Steven were newbie’s.

As it was a first game we had two aside… Alessandro and Steve and Israel and me.

The figures were supplied by Alessandro (The Romans) and Israel (The Germans).

Here are a few pictures…randomly rearranged by Google… but they should give a good impression of the affair…

The Germans were victorious …

We had a lot of fun and will certainly do it again….

Have I purchased a Dacian army…. Of course not…that would be so out of character 🤣.

Okay I will get back to basing my 40 mm Spanish now…

All the best. Aly
