DBA is one of my all-time favouritest games, ever. I play once every 4-6 weeks with my Persians, and hopefully that’ll increase now I’ve found a local friendly wargames guild. Woot!
It’s quick, simple and immense fun to play. A quick game can last just an hour and a full blow campaign over a rainy Saturday afternoon with a bunch of friends. One £6 booklet gives you all you need to play (just add dice and cardboard counters or minis and a tabletop) and you’ve got everything you need to play in any era from 3000BC to 1500AD.
The only downside is that the rules aren’t exactly written in an easily understandable manner. That’s where the Unofficial Guide to DBA comes in. That’s essentially the rules rewritten in Plain English, with examples. You still need the Real Rules of course as they contain the full army lists, etc. This page at DBA Gamer is a terrific primer.
Me, I love it.

Ok, you finally convinced me. Printed the unofficial guide, ordered the official rules.
Gaaaaaaaaah!
How long before you will make me by Mutants & Masterminds + Warriors and Warlocks!?
BTW, DM Peter has suggested Marcel and I start playing Warhammer 40k. Hm… DBA sure looks cheaper.

Lol! Yeh, I seem to have that effect on people 
What’s great about DBA (ok, one of the many things that’s great) is that it’s been adapted to many different genres too, so if a 4,500 year spread isn’t big enough there’s more. I’ve player DBA World War II and that worked well. I’m pretty sure there’s a variant set in the world of Warhammer 40K out there somewhere………….
