Good game, those figures really do look the part on the table, especially the infantry. Nice job.

Great looking game

Looks like it was a good game even tho' a tad one-sided. Nice layout, too. As for the figures, I have to admit from a gamer's 'arms length' viewpoint, I could hardly distinguish the figures for the real thing (i.e., 'normal' metal 3D minis). 

You mentioned Blue side had about twelve units which as many gamers have found, is a nice level for most games and certainly works really well for solo games. I'm beginning to think that myself - possibly less and probably no more than 16 max for a game - gone are the days of megalomania. Obviously it depends on other factors such as how good the scenario is and how many players but for a solo to two player game, what do other gamers think is the optimum number of figures for a good game?

A great looking game, the MDF figures certainly look good at playing distance

I think the number of units depends on the type of game you are after and the rules

I've played both DBA and BBDBA so have played with 12 element and 36 element armies with the same rules
The game feels significantly different, DBA is 'chess like' where you carefully think about every element, BBDBA you tend to think more about groups of elements (but drill down to single elements at key points)

That's what I tend to think. No matter how many units you have, there's a tendency to split your army into 2, 3 or 4 groups or 'divisions.'

Good looking game and an interesting read, I find myself going back to "old" style rules more and more. The MDF figures look good on the table and may well be worth a little punt I think!

Cool Beans. MDF as a base and MDF as a figure, if only there was MDF paint.

[Steve J]

I'll look for it alongside tartan paint Dave

Excellent AAR
