  • Rob Groom And after I got my set from the UK. Still trying to get through them, they are not the best written rules....

    • Allen Yaxley Rob Groom you need to play at the same time . It’s easier when you can see what the rules are explaining.
    • Vincent Cholewa Rob Groom My favourite rules. While the rule book is hard to read it produces great games on the tabletop. After years of using them I still look forward to every game, no two games feel the same and games play out in ways that look like, and I can tell the story of, a “battle”. The game is army level scale that I like, with a top down view from the general instead of bottom up from a centurion’s point of view.

    • Rob Groom Allen Yaxley i was more referring to the structure of the rulebook. Abbreviations in the first couple pages that aren't explained till 40 pages in. Little things.

    • Vincent Cholewa Rob Groom I learned DBMM after four years away from wargaming. Allen and other friends enticed me back to the Hutt Club and I enjoyed watching the games. Later I sat with players during games and asked questions - I had a copy of the rule book but like you, struggled to get a picture or movie in my mind of a game. Being involved in those games and discussing the rules was a huge help. When I did start playing it was among gamers who knew the rules and helped.

      If you are new to the DBx system, the book
      “Sue Laflin-Barker's Start Ancient Wargaming with DBA 3.0” is an excellent introduction. While taking you specifically through the DBA rules (from which all DBx rules are derived) it is a huge help to learn the system. The book is in hard copy and on kindle.

      The introduction and design philosophy at the start DBMM rule book gives some insight but is not a how to play guide.

      I hope this helps. You will find people on this group and at the Hutt Club always happy to talk toy soldiers 😊
Mike Campbell Well y'all are welcome to take mine away before they hit the recycle bin - DBM, MM, R, HOTT - and I must catalogue all the books I no longer need that go with them too for "proper" disposal -and probably a few ancient ancient armies too!! :O
