Over at the 'Ancient & Medieval Wargaming' blog there are some nicely illustrated, recent reports of a variety of battles, fought using De Bellis Antiquitatis (DBA), with the odd diversion. For those with an interest in the ancient period (you know who you are) and those who, like me, love Marmite, er sorry, DBA, Seleucid Adventures and Rise of the Celts are well worth a read.
While over at 'Steven's Balagan', Steven Thomas adds to the discussion on the pros and cons of DBA v 3 that was started by Joe Collins in Slingshot 324.
Many of you will probably already know that the Yahoo Groups system is closing, for all practical purposes, this year. This is a shame as many wargames groups were hosted on the platform. Fortunately all is not lost. Many of the groups are migrating to other platforms with most that I have been involved with migrating to Groups.io. The simplest way to find where your group has gone is to visit it at its old address on Yahoo Groups and look for news of any migration in the recent conversations. A good example is the old Tactica group (see, I don't only ever think of DBA) which was found here TACTICA Ancients Miniatures Rules but can now be found here Tactica@groups.io .
An interesting review and playtest of Commands & Colors: Medieval over at the Palouse Wargaming Journal ..... and while you're there, take a look at this wonderful eye candy, a Celtic warband in all its glory. Based for Impetus. Figures by Crusader Miniatures.
Those of a literary bent, who actually do proper research and background reading (which let's me out), can find a thoughtful review of 'The Great Illyrian Revolt', written by Jason R. Abdale over at Thomo's Hole.
Finally, over at Beasts of War, a preview of some phenomenal 28mm sculpts of Persian Immortals, due for release from Footsore Miniatures & Games and some English longbowmen from Claymore Castings
