I thought the book review was very fair. Next to be produced are DBA 2.2 (including the story of its origin), Operation Warboard and Napoleonic Campaigns in Miniature.

If I didn't have Operation Warboard I would buy it !!

Interesting idea about the quantity to make an army.
It could be right for local disputes but maybe not for the viking incursions and the like.
Comtemporary accounts seem to indicate several hundreds to a few thousand.

WOW! Operation Warboard over $500 USD new on Amazon. Is it that good? Used at $21 USD seems a better offer!

Operation Warboard- at least the new edition I am selling, will be at £13.95 GBP. I always aim to keep the costs down and aim to sell more, rather than selling at £25.00 GBP and only selling a handful.

Probably not $500 USD good ! But it offers a really good primer for a new player, and the rules hold up well and are pretty exciting (IMHO). In the past I played WWII with Op' Warboard a lot, and had a lot of fun.
