BBB was published over ten years ago in 2014. The fact that thousands of players have joined the BBB IO group and Facebook page tells you it's popular. The fact that it hasn't needed a second edition tells you the rules are solid. The universally positive reviews of the game are collected on the BBB blog.
BBB ticks the boxes for all kinds of wargamers. If you love history – it's all about the history. If you want a challenge and a contest – BBB's tightly designed, well-balanced scenarios will give you that. If you just want a fast and furious game – BBB's slick and quick mechanisms make the game rock on so that the situation changes every turn, and they inject just enough unpredictability and fog of war to make it surprising and entertaining while staying historically plausible.
Now we are making it easier for more of you to enjoy BBB:
- The rulebook and four scenario books are all now available in PDF.
- We have added two brilliant small 'training scenarios' to the rulebook.
- We have added new bonus scenarios to three of the scenario books.
- We expect to publish two more scenario books in 2026 (Peninsular War and Battles in Africa)
- Scenario books on the American Civil War are also nearly complete.
- Scenario books for other wars are also in preparation.
New BBB players will find they have joined an active, friendly and supportive community. Your fellow players in the BBB IO group and on the BBB Facebook page will welcome and help you, as will the very responsive BBB team. The annual BBB Bash Day conventions are great occasions if you can get to them. We hope you will enjoy BBB and we look forward to meeting you!
