Instead, I have the great fortune to be able to announce two follow-on products are in development.
"Great Battles of History for DBA3, Volume II" will be developed jointly with "Great Campaigns of History for DBA3".
"Great Battles of History for DBA3" has sold well. It has been favorably reviewed in "Slingshot", the journal for the Society of Ancients as well as by many internet bloggers. The book is available through lulu.com at this address…

"Great Battles, Volume II" will consist of 10-12 historical scenarios for DBA 3 ranging from Cunaxa in 401BC to Blore Heath in 1459AD showcasing DBA 3's great strength for recreating historical battles. The format of each scenario will follow that of the original "Great Battles" with the inclusion of a new section adding a standard 12 element sized scenario to the full sized scenario. This allows players with smaller collections to explore the Great Battles of History while building their collections toward playing the full scenarios.
"Great Campaigns of History for DBA 3" will consist of multiple historical campaigns playable for everyone from solo players to larger clubs. We will feature complete campaigns from map-less, "King of the Hill" type one-day tournaments to full- scale map-movement games. All the campaigns will contain both the scenarios and the rules to run them. (One exception here… we hope to include at least one campaign using Sue Barker's forth-coming campaign system for DBA… for that campaign… you will need to purchase her rules!)
As stated earlier, these projects are being developed jointly. Look for them to be available through lulu.com in about one year.
