As a regular DBA player I was curious to try DBR condensed, and got the chance the other week. I had a Royalist army with Cornish pike against a larger force of Parliamentarians: link Another report of it is here: link |

Interesting reports Mark. DBR are a good set of rules imo. |

Thanks. I'm keen to play it some more. Not sure when I'd look to get an army for myself, however (and it'd only be in the condensed scale), as I've got quite a backlog of armies waiting to be painted as it is! |

Thank you for posting. As a Pike and Shot fan, I always enjoy an interesting write up of the period. |

Thanks, I look forward to trying DBR again. I like the condensed scale, as it plays quickly. Enjoyably different from DBA. |

I agree that DBR is sufficiently different from DBA that it captures the feel of the period and provides a good change. I would argue it captures the period very well in fact. Small condensed scale games provide a great game and allow you to model many battles of the period. Larger condensed scale games provide a way to model the larger battles of the period without consuming a fortune. Here are a few ramblings on the scales included in the DBR ruleset:
