DBA, Rome vs. Gallic hordes, 4 battles


Thursday saw the largest conclave of Fencibles in a while, including a new recruit, Carl. The 1/72 plastic Romans and Gauls were on tap in introduce two players to DBA, and re-introduce the game to other Fencibles who haven’t played since 2014 or earlier. New players and rusty players both were shy about playing the first game, so Jay and I started the ball rolling. The story follows in pictures, with the odd misspelled text here and there. It’s irritating that they often don’t get caught until the picture has been saved. C’est la vie.





























We shall assemble again in two weeks. There was talk of using the 15mm figures and changing the period to late Rome, with Huns, Franks, Goths and such. I’ll send a questionnaire around and see what is most popular. It looks like DBA has made a comeback with the Fencibles. We do have a lot of DBA armies. It’s good to dust them off.

Great write up and beautiful pictures. I might have to dust off my copy of DBA again!

Thank you, Mark. DBA always welcomes you back. The guys on Fanaticus help out with pointers about rules and stuff.
