De Bellis Antiquitatis: The various editions

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.



 

Old versions:

The ancestor of DBA is the rule "De Bellis Societatis Antiquorum" (very short rules) realized in two pages by Phil Barker in 1988.
