… Playtest Rules


"We recently lifted our hiatus on gaming and tried a 12 element DBA 3.0 game combining the use of the "Collision Course" deployment variant and the "DBF" (De Bellis Fantasiae") playtest rules.

"Collision Course" is a variant deployment where both armies have three marching columns of equal strength entering the board, the first column is entirely on the board, the second column has the lead element only at the owning players board edge, and the third column is waiting to enter on a later turn when the owning player has 4 pips to spend allowing the column to enter the board.

DBF is the proposed name for a new "big battle high fantasy" play-test rule-set from WRG, combining the DBA 3.0 rules engine, plus adding HOTT (Hordes of the Things) fantasy rules & elements, along with some additional experimental rules. The play-test rules and the "Collision Course" deployment rules are available on the "DBA & HOTT Wargaming" Facebook group page in the files section (the file named "DB-H" are the DBF playtest rules). We decided to play a historical battle using them with Parthians vs Marian Romans…"
