I didn't think anyone knew of them these days! SirFrancis There are still one or two tournies a year here in the San Francisco area. Too many rules arguments to sustain regular play... Still my favorite game for the period. International Pike and Shot Society, E-Class Fanatic, reporting for duty! Amazing! I was more of a 7th Ed. Ancients/SOA man... but I have been straight-jacketed into playing DBA/M/R due to lack of opponents. Good luck in your games. SirFrancis After playing WRG fanatically thru most of the 90's, our group nearly exploded from the stress of a game that required solid tactics and solid rules knowledge. Soooo, the mass migration to other games, ending in Rock Paper Scissors (DBM/DBR). Now we support the English economy through 40K. A number of our group are heavily into FOW.
I'm a big fan of 7th, and there are aspects of it I still miss.
But after an initial rocky honeymoon, I thoroughly enjoy DBM - perhaps partly because I spoke to Phil Barker about the rules, which gave me an insight into its mechanics.
I find that once one gets a good grip on the system, one does start to think like a 'general'; so even if the rules seem artificial and over-abstracted sometimes, it PLAYS like a battle.
But, of course, each to his own!

PS: There's a wonderful online version of DBA, which I highly recommend. |
