I hope it’s Eye Candy #1
I’m frustrated with Google+ which is going away anyway but also frustrated with Blogger. I haven’t changed anything yet I cannot post my blog to Google+ in the usual way and the truth is I can’t post it at all since the screen goes white and just hangs there. As a result I have to […]
My DBA Trebbia
Doing an ancient battle that featured an ambush is no easy task if you want the ambushed to have a fighting chance of victory. Historically, Hannibal pulled off an ambush of a Roman army near the River Trebbia in 218 BC. The Battle of Trebia was a resounding defeat for the Romans with only 10,000 […]
Telamon 225 BC DBA_BR_Mod
This is the fourth game in the series in which I am adapting a Command and Colors Ancients (CCA)scenario to play with my modifications to DBA 1.0. The game was played on a 36″ by 36″ table. Converting the CCA game pieces to match elements in my DBA system was not exact but fairly close. […]

I’ve been taking scenarios from Command and Colors Ancients and converting them into a DBA type game with my […]

Historical DBA 2nd Punic War
My friend and I have a desire to use the popular DBA rules to play historical battles. This requires going beyond the 12 element maximum in a traditional DBA match up. The two battles that follow are our first attempts. To assist us in the process I went to the Command And Colors Ancients (CCA) […]
