One of my favourite podcasts has been The History of Rome. I have spent many an interesting hour driving to visit my mum near Coffs Harbour or my kids in and around Canberra, listening to this podcast on my iPod as the kilometres sped past. This has been an ambitious project of Mike Duncan, to [...] This weekend is a busy weekend. I’m meeting my old boss from Korea, CW, at 2 for a couple of beers at Changi and then this evening on to Beerfest Asia 2011. I suspect that as a result of these two cultural events, tomorrow will be spent reading … but picture books only. Saturday morning [...]  thomo the lost posted this in  Ancient, Carthaginian, DBA, Gauls, Italian, Numidian, Rome, Spanish, Syracusan, Wargaming on  June 5th, 2011So I finally collected everything. I have the baseboard (thank you Doug for the idea), paint, materials for terrain, figures to make 7 DBA armies from around the time and area of the Punic Wars as well as pre-cut bases to base on it all. A can of Tiger beer and a planning session [...]  Tags: 6mm, baccus, carthage, DBA, gaul, italian, numidia, rome, Singapore, spain, syracuse, Wargames |

There are seven armies being prepared over time but I thought, as it was payday last week, to buy all the figures at one time. Two orders were therefore sent to the nice Mr Berry of Baccus (his shopping [...] Tags: 6mm, baccus, carthage, DBA, gaul, italian, numidia, rome, Singapore, spain, syracuse, Wargames |

I mentioned earlier as well that once I started looking at possible armies, one of the campaign sets popped up as an obvious choice. The 2nd Punic War campaign has a good group of armies all of which are fairly competitive and that together [...] Tags: 6mm, baccus, carthage, DBA, gaul, italian, numidia, polybian roman, roman, Singapore, spain, syracuse, Wargames |
2 people had their say - be the next! | Print This Post | Email This Post | Game three saw me pitted against Chris Hersey and army II/33 Polybian Roman. Whilst on the surface of it, the Romans look fairly vulnerable, they are really quite a good, general purpose type of army. It is true that my knights would “quick kill” most of his infantry but if he played well, his [...] Tags: 15mm, ancient, Canberra, cancon, DBA, polybian roman, polybius, rajput, roman, rome, Wargames |
Nobody has commented yet, kick it off... | Print This Post | Email This Post | The first DBA game I played at Cancon 2011 was against Jason Dickie’s Late Imperial Roman Army. Jason was using the East variant of this list, enabling him to take more knights. I had rolled lower than Jason for my aggression dice which when the rolls were added to our aggression factors ensured [...] Tags: 15mm, ancient, Canberra, cancon, DBA, late imperial rome, LIR, rajput, roman, rome, Wargames |
Nobody has commented yet, kick it off... | Print This Post | Email This Post | I’m suffering the need for another quick ancient diversion. Yep, as if there is not enough on my wargaming plate (DBMM for Cancon 2011, the Mongolian DBA campaign sets, Italian WW2 in 6mm, bucket loads of 1/3000th ships, Aeronef, Land Ironclads, 6mm Polemos Napoleonic, English Civil War and Great Northern War) I managed to [...] Tags: 15mm, campaign, DBA, roman |
