Black powder period




Many adaptations of DBA for other periods exist. A version of rules allowing to play the armies of the period of the generalized use black powder (1500 to 1900) exists since version 1.1 of DBA.


It is the version, adapted to DBA 3.0 that we are preparing to use in order to play two conflicts for which, my sons and I have developed armies: the war of 30 years and the Napoleonic epic.


Here are the pages of this blog dedicated to this version (the photos of armies will follow later because many of our figurines for these medieval post periods are not totally finished (soclage or painting for a few pads of the war of 30 years)



How to play this black powder period?

 

- Extension DBA 1500-1900

It is not an extension for the v3.0 but for the 1.1 It dates but that does not matter. We use it without real change with 3.0. This extension allows to play armies between the XVIth century and the end of the XIXth century.
