It's been a long time since the last time I wrote in
the post. Unfortunately, in this period, I'm very busy and I had some problems
to play.
Starting from December I restart to
play DBM or better DBMM. It is a very complex rule book and with significant
differences respect DBM.
I'm preparing a late roman army but
unfortunately I'm not finished yet. A DBMM army is very long work to complete if
you want arrange all options included in a Baker's list.
Some photos of my first battles

Dec 30, 2013: Late Imperial Roman vs
Macedonian Early Successor.
The Macedonians are painted by Riccardo and commanded by
Filippo. Late Imperial Roman are painted and commanded by Marco D. and
(partially) by me. To be honest my contribution in miniatures was limited to ten base
(partially reproduced in the photo above as the four roman auxiliaries with the brown
bases on the right).
I was assigned to left wing but the struggle was fought principally
at the center.. The Macedonians elephants walk literally on the Gothic warbands
while, on the right roman, artilleries and archers try to slow
down Macedonians forces but … without success. An the left Romans and Macedonians
watch reciprocally.
Romans lost the battle
In January other two battles
Macedonian Early Successor hoplites vs Huns
Greeks are painted by Riccardo and Giancarlo and commanded by me. Huns are painted and commanded by Filippo. It was a training battle in which I remained in a defensive position. The battle was concentrated on my right wing and it was substantially a tie … cavalry against cavalry.
Another training struggle in January
Macedonian Early Successor against Alexandrian
Macedonians
Macedonians are painted by Riccardo and Giancarlo and
commanded by me. Alexandrian Macedonians are commanded by Giorgio. A collapse
for Early Successor. I tried to push my phalanx against the enemy center but Giorgio
was very skilled to avoid a direct contact that could be disastrous for his
troops. I wrongly assigned the highest dice to phalanx while Alexandrian
knights destroyed my left wing that wrongly had psiloi in the first ranks.
