De Bellis Antiquitatis: the various editions
The current version: 3.0
The current version of the game appeared after a long wait, in 2014 in the United Kingdom. It differs from previous versions by increasing the distances of movements, which greatly accelerates the game (these are sometimes increased by 50% compared to the previous versions).
For the first time, DBA should be translated into French. Its release is planned for the end of September 2016.
