Hello BL

Apparently the latest edition is basically a reprint with just the Shooter/Warband swap and optional Bw movement, and some new army lists.

Cheers

Twenty quid for fantasy DBA?! I hope the books a bit more than the old A5 soft cover :S

Actually ONLY £14.99 from Amazon.


So what's new in version 2.1?
• Size, its printed A4 with a slightly larger typeface
• It adopts the widely accepted movement amendment
-Increasing that of Warband
-Decreasing that of Shooters
• It offers an option to try base width movements
• It has a cool black cover
• it retains the original, ugly artwork but at least its size is reduced
• Pages 1-4 are reordered
• P5 adds an invitation to try base width movement like the long awaited DBA 3.0
• P5-26 appear identical other than page references that have altered
• The excellent diagrams now appear after the rules, where they belong
• Some new army lists including:
-Zombies (and opponents)
-Welsh mythology
-Australian aboriginal mythology
-Hawaiian mythology
-extended Discworld coverage
-ECW (anachronistically titled C17 "British Civil Wars" )
-Dumas (Louis XIV versus Marlborough)
-Muenchausen Turks
-Boxer rebellion



So if you have the orriginal rules basically nothing that you could not find on the internet for free. Or am I being cynical ?  But the cynics are right 9 times out of 10
