It's been far to long, but we've managed to have a game of DBA. To be fair the horrors are growing up & doing what teenagers do. Gaming has been non-existent, so what has MrF been up to? Creating, painting & SELLING DBA Armies, a shed load as well. Keeps an interest in the hobby & raises funds for other projects too. Though my eyesight & steady painting hand aren't what they used to be...old fart.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyway, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Early Crusaders vs Ayyubid Egyptians, turned out to be a very short game indeed. Amy took the Early Crusaders, recently created by ourselves.</span><br />

Back to basics now, DBA Battle between the Mamluks & Crusaders. Amy took the Crusaders & yours truly the swish Mamluks. History bit = <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninth_Crusade">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninth_Crusade</a><br />
<br />
Amy took Knights, Spears & Bows. The Mamluks are Cavalry heavy, extra wise I went for Light Horse, Psiloi & Hordes to guard the camp.<br />

It's been along time since we've played standard DBA, that was a fun game. The Mamluks are one of my favourite armies, the Crusaders one of Amy's. It was a poor set-up by Amy at the start, obviously out of practice. Until the next time! Now a word from the latest addition to our 'Hound Pack'....<br />

Grudge match & a half now. The Teutonic Grandmaster AMY has been giving me the verbals, 'I'm the best...blah blah blah', the gauntlet has been thrown down. So Holy Roman Emperor MrF, has accepted. The Teutons versus Ze Germans in a Medieval Monster Mash. Knights galore, this one will be a tough scrap....<br />

We used the Army Lists from the Fanaticus site <a href="http://www.fanaticus.org/DBA/battles/bosworth.html">http://www.fanaticus.org/DBA/battles/bosworth.html</a> . Which meant raiding every medieval army that we have to make up the numbers. Amy took the side of Henry Tudor & the Stanleys, yours truly the forces of 'good king' Richard...lol. The Stanleys would have to be activated, requiring a roll every turn until the desired outcome.<br />

History repeats itself, the House of Lancaster reigns supreme, it was a mega scrap indeed. To be fair, the battle revolved around the fight between Richard & Henry, each side had a command broken.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Well, well, well, we have been away from blogging for a long time now. What's changed then? We have just been on holiday touring the south of dear old England in the Fazzy mobile & took in a few historic sites. Amy & I watched 'Gladiator' so on our return....<br />
<br />
<i><b>The year is 180 AD, the place Vindobona somewhere in the Germanic lands</b></i>. Amy takes the role of Maximus & the jolly Romans. Yours truly takes the great unwashed horde of German Barbarians. A nice slugfest to get back into DBA... The Romans army comprises of 2 Cavalry, 4 blades, 4 Aux, 1 Bow & 1 Artillery. The Germans 11 Warband & 1 Psiloi.. <i><b>Simples!</b></i><br />
<br />

A nice battle & Maximus says it all for the Romans! Hopefully we'll get a few more games played...MrFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17708324287306819984noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071373308159091739.post-75853725351997467452010-01-10T14:42:00.000+00:002010-01-10T14:42:19.145+00:00Ohh! Where have you been MrF? Jan 2010Well actually, nowhere MrF, just taken a break from gaming due to the mad Crimbo period. The horrors have been basking in their Xmas booty and being a Bah Humbug, I was banished to the back room during my days off. I did try to ‘integrate’ with the family unit over Xmas, but alas the noise and general mayhem drove me daft. A Nintendo WII being the new addition to the ‘Fazzy Abode’ and the crazed frenzy of game playing began. <br />
<br />
<br />
Oh I did try to compete, but I’m not a nipper anymore. I used to be a gaming freak in the 80’s, an arcade & console junkie. Space Invaders, Galaxians, Scramble, the Atari console, the C64…. No, the skill has left my body, now I must face the humiliation of being soundly thrashed by all the kids. <br />
<br />
So I’ve raised a few more armies, from the junkpile and shrewd online acquisitions. A few more rule-sets have been studied, which look rather good as well. Posts will be made soon, though I will be sticking to the later periods or ‘DBA with guns’. I enjoy those time frames much more, so I can’t see much happening in the ‘pure’ DBA periods (Ancients & Medievals). So sorry folks, this DBA site won't be getting many posts. I'll be concentrating on our DBA 1500-1900 site. Check out our latest, Zulu Wars... <a href="http://mrfarrow2udba1519k.blogspot.com/2010/01/dbc-zulu-army-1879.html">http://mrfarrow2udba1519k.blogspot.com/2010/01/dbc-zulu-army-1879.html</a>MrFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17708324287306819984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071373308159091739.post-85046833498065920572009-11-17T19:58:00.001+00:002009-11-17T19:59:02.093+00:00DBA II/18c Kassandros Macedonian Successor<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here's our DBA II/18c Kassandros - Early Macedonian Successor Army.

Arnstein was in fact the fella who wrote the scenario, so a big thank you to him. I paid a visit to his DBA web site, very nice indeed... <a href="http://folk.uio.no/arnsteio/DBA/">http://folk.uio.no/arnsteio/DBA/</a> It's well worth a visit, plus I found the section on 'quadruple DBA' very interesting. After a moment of pondering, stroking the chin and going 'hmmmm' inspiration strikes. So........<br />
<br />
Here we go using our 15mm Armies, Romans we've got tons of them, so they would make up one force. Opponent wise, it would have to be a Barbarian Army, so we settled on the Dacians (anything to include Sarmations..). We used some Germanic Troops as Dacian Allies to make up the numbers.<br />

A D'oh moment indeed when they matched up against the Roman Blades. We'll try Big Base DBA again, now what other Armies can we have....?<br />

</div>Good game, good game. Though it would of been a sneaky win if the Mongols had got that one. Both Jack & I forgot that capturing the enemy camp is worth four elements in DDBA. That changed things when we realised half way through. Still I can't take anything away from the Teuton & Polish Knghts, they did the damage. I should of got the Mongol Lights to encircle the enemy much quicker than I did, it could of made a big difference.MrFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17708324287306819984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071373308159091739.post-4368565720226108742009-08-20T19:36:00.008+01:002009-10-22T14:51:15.382+01:00DDBA Mongols vs Teutons/Poles Part1Oh dear, we've been neglecting this site in favour of DBA with guns on our other blog. Not to worry DBA purists, here's a clash between the Mongols & an alliance of Teutonic Knights with the Poles. Inspiration for this one due to this lovely piccy from Tim Newarks book 'Barbarians'.<br />
<br />
<div align="center"></div><div align="center"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qheGBG6PBII/So2aRooftrI/AAAAAAAAIV8/vm2eR72sXC8/s1600-h/Mongol+v+Teuton.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372119558278592178" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qheGBG6PBII/So2aRooftrI/AAAAAAAAIV8/vm2eR72sXC8/s640/Mongol+v+Teuton.jpg" /></a> <br />
</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="left">We did plan on doing a mighty BBDBA East versus West clash between the Mongols & Teutons/Poles/Germans, but the battle line for the Western forces was just 'too big' for the table. Ah, maybe one for the future.<br />
</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">The Mongols have never performed very well in our previous games. Looking at this one, I can see the Teuton/Polish Knights steamrolling the Mongol Light Horse. To give the Mongols a slight edge, we extended the Command Radius for them & added 4 elements of Spears. These would be dismounted Mongols & local vassels, whose only function would to sit on the hill & draw in the opposition. The Teutons are Amy's favourite army, so she would command them. Jack took the Poles.... So yours truly had the Mongols.<br />

So here we go Beyond the Golden Gate game 2. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Khazars</span> (Jack) versus the Arab Conquest (me). Both very heavy on the horsemen, Jack's plan was to have a big left flank of Cavalry & Light Horse. Whilst he centre had the Khazar Hordes, Arty & The 'Beg' in his War Wagon. I matched the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Khazars</span> with Cavalry & <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Warband</span>. My left would comprise Light Horse, Bow & <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Warband</span>.<br />

He's pulled off another victory, but that was very very close! That final round was a corker.</div>A good Cavalry scrap, however we both should of waited for the foot troops to get involved.

Far too much to do, work, work, work, work & soon some holidays. No time for gaming or painting. Sorry folks but it will probably be the back end of July before there's anything new to report.

Jack took the Sassanids (boo hiss) while I had to have the Byzantines. Double sized armies on a large table, plenty of Horsemen as well. It would be nice to see the large 6 figure Byzantine Cavalry elements in action too. One side of the battlefield had small hills, while rough terrain was placed on the other.<br />

Right then, it's off to the Battle of Hastings, keeping the theme of <strong>'1066 the Battle for Middle Earth'</strong>.... <em>Our intrepid heroes have just thrashed the mighty <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Vikingr</span>. No sooner have they settled down for a cup of nettle tea, then news reaches them that 'The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Orcs</span>' have landed, the Normans have hit the shores of Middle-Earth.</em><br />
<br />
<br />
To run this game we used the 'Battle of Hastings' scenario from the book on the left, <strong>Historical Medieval Battles</strong> by Peter Sides. It's basically full of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">famous</span> battles set to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">DBA</span>/<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">DBM</span> Army sizes. Well worth it, if you can get hold of a copy. In this scenario the Norman's have 26 elements to the Anglo-Saxon's 21. We set victory for the first 8 kills. Extra rules for the battle..... First, the Anglo-Saxon's would have to hold the hill in a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Shieldwall</span> & could not advance 'en <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">masse</span>'. Second, ...however if a combat resulted in an enemy recoil or any Norman element in contact retreated, then the Anglo-Saxon element would follow up (like a Knight). This would give a little realism to Anglo-Saxon's actions on the day.<br />
<br />
Well Jack & Amy's '<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">bloodlust'</span> was up & they opted for command of the Norman's, while yours truly would be 'pinned' to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Senlac</span> Hill........... Bring it On!!!<br />

The horror's are whooping loudly, The Normans win our version of Hastings, just like history. However it was very close indeed. We felt the extra rules were spot on, the splintering of the Shieldwall worked well. It allowed the Breton Cavalry to make a big impression.<br />
<br />
SO, does it end here? Who knows perhaps a Anglo-Saxon/Welsh/Scots Army may take on William the Conqueror next???MrFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17708324287306819984noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071373308159091739.post-74722930096310804422009-05-25T20:32:00.008+01:002009-11-11T13:56:19.460+00:00DBA Battle of Stamford Bridge 1066So... Off we went to the DBA table to re-fight The Battle of Stamford Bridge. A quick look round at existing scenarios reveiled two possibles, the first was from Peter Sides <strong><em>Historical Medieval Battles</em></strong> (we'll use this book for our Hastings Battle), a cracking book of DBA/DBM battles. <br />
<br />
However we went with Arnstein Orten's scenario, here's a link to it..<br />
<a href="http://folk.uio.no/arnsteio/DBA/stamford.html">http://folk.uio.no/arnsteio/DBA/stamford.html</a> . Standard 12 elements each side, except that the Viking army has two units deployed on the opposite side of the river at the start of the game, these are a holding force. The main Viking force awaits Harold on the other side of the river. Plus there are two elements off table (guarding the Viking fleet). After Harold & his boys cross the river AND if a roll is made then these two elements are released. I played the mighty Vikingr & Amy played the Anglo-Saxons, she was eager to have <em><strong>Tofi</strong></em> &<em><strong> Leofric</strong></em> bash the Vikings!<br />

Here's our Viking Army ready to raid the British Isles.... Coming from the North east of England there's lots of reminders of Viking influence, the city of YORK with it's JORVIK centre is just down the road <a href="http://www.jorvik-viking-centre.co.uk/">http://www.jorvik-viking-centre.co.uk/</a> . While further up North there's many more historical sites. It's a pity then, that we haven't played too many games with the Vikings. I can feel a game idea coming on....<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">III/40a Viking 790-849AD</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">1x4Bd(Gen), 2x4Bd, 8x3Bd, 1x3Bd or 3Wb or 2Ps</span></strong><br />
<br />
With a few extra elements we can easily morph the other options in the Viking/Leidang list.<br />

However it didn't work out for our style of gaming, obviously DBA was the way for us. One thing continued though & that is collecting the WAB Supplements. No matter what you think of Games Workshop, you cannot fault any of publications for information & photo quality. One absolute favourite of mine is BYZANTINE: Beyond the Golden Gate. I've mentioned before that I love the Sassanid Persians, so.... here's our next campaign.<br />
<br />
One check of the DBA Rulebook and in the Suggested Historical Campaigns is THE RISE OF ISLAM 633AD. We'll let the Byzantines, Sassanids, Arab Conquest & the KHAZARS battle it out. I had fancied using all six of the armies suggested but the III/1 Slavs looked very boring, so we'll stick with just the four. Of course we like to 'SPICE' things up, so as well as giving each leader an attribute.... we are going to use DOUBLE sized DBA armies too...... }:o)<br />
