Going Back to the Source

I thought that I would take a look at the original site for 'DBA in the New World' - Steven's Balagan:

http://balagan.org.uk/war/dbx/dba/new-world/index.htm

...and what did I find:

Element Type		Abbreviation	Cost (AP)	Official DBA equivalents	Suggested Base Size (mm)	Suggested No. Figures
Lancer aka Knight		Ln	15	3Kn	40 x 40	3
Shooters	European	ShE	7	3Bw, 4Bw, CB	40 x 20	3-4
	Superior	ShS	5	4Ax, 3Bw, 4Bw	40 x 40	5-8
	Ordinary	ShO	3	3Ax, 3Bw	40 x 40	5-8
Blades	European	BdE	7	3Bd, 4Bd	40 x 20	3-4
	Superior	BdS	5	4Bd, 3Wb, 4Wb	40 x 40	5-8
	Ordinary	BdO	3	3Ax, 4Bd, 5Wb	40 x 40	5-8
Skirmishers (i.e. Psiloi)		Sk	2	2Ps	40 x 20	2
Artillery		Art	15	Art	40 x 40	1 gun + crew
Litter (i.e. WWg (I) )		Lit	3	Lit	40 x 40	1 litter + crew
Pike		Pk	3	4Pk	40 x 20	4
Spear		Sp	4	3Sp, 4Sp	40 x 20	4
War dogs (i.e. Warband)		Wb	3	3Wb	40 x 40

I also searched for photos - Will McNally's blog provided Conquistadores, Aztec & Maya:

http://willwarweb.blogspot.co.uk/

Conquistadores -  standard bases - Shooters & Blades (3), Lancers (2), War dogs (3), Artillery (1)
Aztecs - all on squared bases - Shooters & Blades (5), Skirmishers (3)
Maya - all on squared bases - Blades (4), Skirmishers (3)

The squared bases follow the ideas of Michael Fischer:

Now I need to sit down and compare the evidence before me.
