ha, I havent got any problms with people pushing their favourite rules set.
a healthy exchange of ideas is fine, the danger is you go on about it SO much people tune out

DBA\'s great for what it is.
I\'ve played it for years but I have to say I dont think it carries off linear, post-pike massed musketry f C18 well at all
its great for a clash of swords/pikes and works well in the rhythym of ancient/renaissance battles
I\'ve run a punic wars campaign in a day with DBA.. you cant do that with anything else I know of.
that being said there\'s not much meat to it. its a bit rock scissors and paper an the command system is a bit random for me.
DBA can get flogged to death ad its metaphor stretched into every period , \"just becuase they can\"
dba can be a bit of a wargaming thought bubble, wargaming pachinko/tazo , but I love it all the same
