De Bellis Antiquitatis Rules arrived today

It always good to get a package through the post.  My copy of DBA arrived today, courtesy of Keep Wargaming (http://www.keepwargaming.co.uk/).  Just £6 plus p&p - and it was beautifully wrapped and packaged (cardboard, bubble wrap and the rules were sealed in their own plastic wrapper).  They also turned it around in a couple of days - so a big thumbs up for Keep Wargaming.

Now to check out the army lists - starting with the Gauls.

Looking at the Gauls (II/11 - 400BC to 50BC) it looks like I need 1 x 4 WB (4 figures) OR 1 x Light Chariot for the General, as well as 2 x Light Chariots OR 3 Cavalry (9 figures) and a whopping 8 x 3 WB's (24 figures) and 1 x 2P's (just 2 figures from slingers or javelins).

I already have sufficient numbers for the WB's and P's - just need to finish off 9 cavalry (of which 6 are nearly done already) and 3 chariots and the first Gallic army is ready!  That's what makes DBA so good.

As for the enemies, it looks like the Gauls are allowed to take on Early Northern Barbarians, the Illyrians, Thracians, Early Roman Latins and Umbrians, the Etruscan League, Camillan Romans, other Gauls, Samnites, Later Carthaginians, Polybian Romans, Ancient Spanish, most Early Germans, Marian Romans and Dacians (so no end of enemies to take on!).  In terms of allies, they can count on Iberian Spanish or some Germans. 

Should be fun!
