I was recently inspired to return to playing DBA when I came across a series of games uploaded to Youtube. I ordered a copy of the latest set (version 3.0), dragged out a couple of armies from the garage, and started to play.
It soon became clear that the new revision differed sufficiently from V2.2 that I would have to familiarise myself fully with the changes (which, incidentally, following a quick skim through, are in the main what I consider improvements).
I then came up with the idea to split the sections down into manageable chunks and deal with them in depth one at a time. Those familiar with Phil Barker's writing style will understand that although the rules cover a mere 9 pages, they are complexly worded and require a number of read-throughs to fully comprehend. And while I was doing that, I figured I might as well report my progress so that others can learn them too.
And so, over the next how ever many weeks, I'll break down the rules by section and provide an in-depth deep-dive of DBA v3...
We will start off with a short section of Playing Equipment and Representational Scales.

You're right about Phil barker's writing style Ian, impenetrable at times, so the more light you shed the better.
Hi Ian I will revamp the smaller terrain pieces for DBA and think about some proper boards.
