The only way to promote your fav rules is to provide both sides and host game after game after game. And provide alcohol. 😀Stewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340930167419307092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166240688056859219.post-63896475923395921432020-09-12T17:35:27.815-04:002020-09-12T17:35:27.815-04:00A buddy of mine has been pushing TtS, but again, s...A buddy of mine has been pushing TtS, but again, seems to lack local traction.

Mind you it might have been a bit embarrassing to lose to a Border Collie. <br /><br />Ron and I played s dozen or 2 games of Basic Impetus back in 2012, (25mm) and at least 1 game of the full thing. Of course, Ron adapted it to use his hexes vs measuring but close enough). It was fun at first but after a few games there were a few things that took the fun out for us for the kind of games we liked so we dropped it. Long story and seems like a long time ago.

My opponent has rigged up a camera mount that shows a top-down feed of the table, and I pass on movement instructions. It works for DBA because of the limited number of movements, and the relatively simple mechanics.<br /><br />And yeah, I think the persians especially would work nicely for element bases (although hoplite shields that aren't lambdas might be fun too ;)<br />fireymonkeyboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833974263127787678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166240688056859219.post-48459286287170302352020-09-12T10:54:26.556-04:002020-09-12T10:54:26.556-04:00I haven't played DBA for around 25 years, its ...I haven't played DBA for around 25 years, its great you've been getting the old rules out during the plague!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166240688056859219.post-49947008503338079262020-09-12T10:21:48.057-04:002020-09-12T10:21:48.057-04:00Markus, are you playing DBA solely from the photos...Markus, are you playing DBA solely from the photos seen here or are you using a wargaming aid such as VASSAL or DBA Online to conduct these battles? Whatever you are using, the table looks great and good to see gaming again.<br /><br />As for basing, I suggest a push into Impetvs is in order so that you can field single element BMUs.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.com
