DBA 3.0 IV/20 Ayyubid Egyptian 1171-1250AD

Put together for sale on EBay, two Ayyubid Egyptian Armies.  Super colourful, Cavalry Heavy, highly mobile.  I don't know what figures the majority are, they came as a job lot of about 200 Arab Riders without any horses.  There are some Essex Minis though.  Recently added are some Donnington Miniatures, the Arab Archers, Saladin & some of the barded horses.  Very good value at 60P for a mounted figure, 30P for foot.


IV/20 Ayyubid Egyption
1x3Cv(Gen), 7x3Cv, 1x3 Cv or 1x3Ax or 3Wb,
1x2Lh or 5Hd, 2x2Lh or 2x4Bw or 2Ps

1st Army








2nd Army

DBA 3.0 IV/35 Mongol Conquest 1205AD - 1266AD

The new rules must make the Mongol Conquest (& other steppe armies) a lot more potent.  The list itself gives more options, with a possible 6 Cavalry & 6 Light Horse.  If anyone has played a few games with the Mongol Horde then leave some comments.

This lot are a mix of different figure manufacturers.  The last option allows 3 x Cv or Lh from vassal subjects.  This army had strong bias to the Seljuk Turks.

DBA 3.0 - IV/62 100 Years War English

Monstrous..!!!! Gigantic...!!! Titanic...!!! No, it's not Britain's National Debt...(according to the government oohh eerr).  It's the new DBA 3.0 100 Years War English Army lists.

Lots of archers as you would expect, but now a LOT more Knights.  The option (A) List reflects this especially, with a standard 4 Knight elements & the option for 3 more.

We've put together 2 Armies, one to keep for ourselves & the other is up for grabs on EBay.

DBA Low Countries vs Teutons

Medieval action now, the Teutonic Grand Master has decided that the route of all evil can be found in the base debauchery of capitalism.   His gaze descends on the Merchants of the Low Countries.  A Crusade is called, the Teutonic masses board their ships & head for Ghent.  The Merchants & Guildsmen, raise their banners, ready to defend their interests.  Our last games of DBA 2.2????  Amy took the Teutons, yours truly the Guildsmen.

WE WILL ROUTE OUT EVIL!!!!!
