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.

Amazonian Indians

I am curently painting a new Dba army but while I was, I found an army that I have painted some time ago. The pictures I took then was rather crappy but the models and the painting was not. So I thought they deserved a new photo.

This is my Amazonian Indians from Eureka miniatures. I tried to paint them in rather colorful warpaint. Their camp is a hut and with a member of the tribe roosting the dinner, a member of a rival tribe.

The army is totally different from anything I have played. Their almost only archers and I miss at least one good close combat unit.  But they look good, and that’s what matters the most.
