[List IV/63] Mexica (Aztecs) XVIth century BC

The Aztec Army. At DBA, this army is made up of a very large number of hordes ("5Hd"), intended to represent the plethoric numbers and the range of its fighters. This type of troop, if there is nothing truly scary, gives this army an undeniable solidity. It is a hard nut to break. The eagle or jaguar knights offer, as well as the warrior priests, an infantry of the highest quality.

One of the weak points of the Aztecs is the total lack of mounted troops (and for good reason) but this is not insurmountable and the light troops allow to comfortably lean on the ground. The main weakness of the army resides in the absence of a real force of rupture. The Cuachics do what they can in this field, but are too few to adequately fulfill this role.


A very colorful army and very pleasant to play.

The generals of the army (one general per army DBA, three generals in BBDBA):

Priest performing a human sacrifice (account in 5Hd)

Eagle knights

Jaguar knights

Warrior priests

Cuachiquehs

Mexica warriors I

Mexica warriors II

Slingers and archers

Luggage carriers

Aztec village and pyramid

DBA version 3.0 now distinguishes several types of populated areas.

Since I now only tie on this rule and especially on its version BBDBA (the version x3 of DBA, included in the rules), I changed my previous set.
The Aztec army is now endowed with a village that I can count either as a city (the houses do not have to be removed to place the figurines) or as a village (simple difficult terrain) I then have to be able to remove the houses For the rare passage of troops.

The temple counts as a building. I had already posted pictures of it but I can not find them anymore.
