Pre-Feudal Scots no doubt! Joe Collins |

Go with the most spectacular army in DBA. Gallic of course! I'm not saying you will be unbeatable. I am saying winning or losing will be done in a spectacular fashion!  |

I disagree! Dark Ages Welsh! All "Fast" warband. Move fast. Bounce off fast! Die fast! Well, come to think of it… they did smash my pre-Feudal Scots. Joe Collins |

C'mon, 19c Seleucids are the most spectacular: elephant, scythed chariot, cataphract, camel, four pikes, knight, warband, plus a couple of psiloi. Trying to coordinate them is like herding cats. |

Dark Age welsh would definitely be described as another spectacular army! In fact, any army with fast warbands should be! Gallic still have the option right? Seleucid can certainly provide a spectacle. Not sure it is a spectacular spectacle though!  |

Joe, Count me in too. I'll probably play my Feudal French. Terry |

The Thomas' are coming (like Winter)… Pluck the Yew and let loose the dogs of war! TomT |

Not yet. Phil Barker's health has been an issue. Things are looking up though. He was able to attend a history conference last week. He has begun again to email some folks… so he is doing better. Joe Collins |
thanks everyone who helped after her family's recent fire.
