DBF Announcement
WRG is excited to announce the development of a new rule set for fighting the great battles of fantasy literature and film, with the working title of ‘De Bella Fantasia’.
Based primarily on DBA v3.0, along with elements of HoTT and including reflections on nearly ten years of play testing of v3.0, these rules add an expanded list of elements that include Heroes, Mages, Clerics, Beasts, Behemoths, Warbows, and Great Flyers. This rule set covers fantasy troop types alongside most of DBA 3’s historical types. Magic is featured through the casting of spells and rituals.
Armies are built through a points system and games usually feature around 36 stands of figures per side, with each army split into 2-3 commands, reminiscent of Big Battle DBA, though smaller and much larger battles are certainly possible.
Included are a large number of army lists, two different campaign systems, and many diagrams interwoven with the text, which demonstrate and explain game play.
Designed to appeal both to the new player looking for an excellent, playable fantasy tabletop game and the seasoned DBA player looking to expand his game play into the realms of fantasy, DBF features an easily learned, and quick playing game, with surprising tactical depth.
The DBF development team is looking for groups of people to play test this great new game. To apply to become a play tester, please contact one of the following authors via email:
Joe Collins (mythicheroesandlegends@gmail.com)
Tom Thomas (DBFThomasThomas@gmail.com)
Paul Murgatroyd (pmmurgatroyd@aol.com)
Or post on the Fanaticus website: fanaticus.board.net or via the DBA or DBA/HOTT Facebook pages.
Play testing groups will be limited, so serious inquiries only, please.
Joe, Paul, & Tom
