What is DBA?
De Bellis Antiquitatis ("The Wars of Antiquity") or DBA
is a set of fast-play rules for ancient and medieval wargaming using
miniature figures. The rules are authored by Phil and Sue Barker and Richard
Bodley Scott and published by the Wargames Research Group.
The current edition (DBA 2.2) was released in January 2004. (more
