We’ve played a few games of DBA without terrain, really just to thrash out the subtleties of the rules. Even with some heated arguments and rules referral you can certainly get a game in 45 minutes to an hour.

It’s a nice fast system – I’d say the combat can rely heavily on your ability to roll well (since it’s a modified d6 roll), but at 45 minutes a game if you lose, just set them up and go again!

I find the actual rules are pretty hard to understand, so we’re using the WADBAG ‘Unofficial Guide to DBA’ which is simply excellent.

Nice work again Stu. Do you have a first game of DBA planned? I bought the rules last year but never got to try them. Ancients is something I want to try out, eventually… Too busy with D&D 3.5 and 4E, and Combat Commander (GMT) these days!

Great site, lots of inspiration. Have a look on the link below, seen lots of stuff on the Steve Dean forum using these transfers.

All the best Airhead
