Maya numerical system
On Saturday I took along the secondary box to sort out some Maya and Tupi figures. We managed to sort out 4 x DBA v3.0 armies. About 2/3 of my Mayans are painted and all of my Tupi. Few of the figures I gave Ian had any paint on them. Both of us will have to get the brushes out.
The next stage is to identify what I have among the Incas and 'Aztecs' - at first glance not even a single DBA army.
Given a shortage of time we did, however, manage a few games:
DBN (v1) - Prussians v Austrians - 5:2 win. Ian has downloaded a copy of DBN v2 but not yet printed it out. Once that is done we can check out the differences.
DBA (v3) - 2.22f Arabo-Aramean v 2.37 Parthian - 5:0 win. The terrain fell to my liking and I retained the plowed fields. This meant that my archers could safely pepper away at the mounted opposition.
DBA (v3) - 2.2 Lombard v 2.17 Maurikian Byzantine - 5:2 win. My left flank was under attack whilst I was unable to throw better than 2 for movement. The signs did not look good until a fortuitous 5 got me out of trouble. The odd 6:1 may have helped as well. A closer game than the result would suggest.
On the previous Saturday we had played 3 x pick-up games of DBA v3:
Early Bulgars v Thematic Byzantine - 4:1 loss
Gauls v Umbrians - 4:2 win
Latins v Etruscans - 4:1 loss
As you can see it's a game of skill!
