DBA AAR

I played some DBA a couple of days ago at  the club. One of the games was all feathers and jungles...

Mayan indians against Amazon indians.

We are planning to do an DBA campaing at the club, the armies have just arrived and my fresh force is waiting for me to start paint. 
And as a way of warming up we played some games last gaming evening.

Here we got some pictures from one of the games.

 

I played the Amazonians. The sheer amount of poisoned arrows was to prove to tought for the river crossing Mayans. 

A hard fought game that I first thought should be an massacre on my troops.

The plan from my side was to do a psiloi rush to annoy my opponent and hopefully give me time to form some nice archer lines. With some bad pip rolls on his part early in the game I was able to halt his advance and slowly push him back and brake his lines.

The Easter holidays were closing in and I was thinking that in those couple of extra days of from work I should get something painted. 

I was considering what I should paint and then it hit me. Of course it was so obvious to me now.

During the Easter 2012 I should paint my DBA Maya army until then hibernating in the leadpile (mountain…) with all their feathers… 

The week before Easter, Easter, the week after past but finally they are done. 

The planning with a young daughter is not what it used to be but Im loving every minute of it.

 

 

I wanted to have jungle bases with lots of green colors.

And for inspiration I mostly used this image.

 

  

And if I will be lacking a historical enemy at the club I guess I could always venture farther in the jungle and pick on a smaller jungle tribe…

 

Why not my Amazonians?
