DBA - A case for less is more?

[Luddite]

But with each army being 12 elements, its easy to collect many of them!!!!   

[Steve J]

Best plan is to collect the armies in pairs of opposing contemporary factions..

That's definitely my plan . The idea of say an Assyrian army fighting a Polish one of around 1450 somehow doesn't do it for me...

In v1, the army lists used to have historical opponents listed, are they still there? 
77a - Later Imperial Roman West vs 77b Later Imperial Roman East was always a good scrap!

Certainly in 2.2 as lists of E (enemies) and A (allies) against each entry in the army lists.  Don't know what rev 3 will have, likely the same though.

[Steve J]

Yep, still has Enemies and Allies listed which is cool, especially for Big DBA battles, which look great for multi-player action.

I looked at the new rules, and struggled through the text and remembered why I gave them up in the first place..To paraphrase the film Amadeus "Too many words"

That's where the WADBAG guide to DBA 2.2 is a God send, as you don't have to struggle with Barkerese .

Now thats handy

[Steve J]

Very handy indeed.

Barkerese will be a boon to linguistics Ph.D. students some day. In the original Klingon.

Only if they find the fabled "Rosetta Brick".

Wow! Thanks for the Wadbag link. Brilliant!

[rexhurley]
