“Phalanx is the highlight of my gaming year, because it’s wargames purely for fun”

I developed my ‘Dirty DBA’ rules many years ago now for the benefit of the poor (bored?) younger wargamer (or potential wargamer) being dragged round the show by their Dads, to give them something simple to try out with lots of dice rolling.

I usually fight some 8-12 battles a show, with a ‘battle’ lasting between 15-30 minutes (usually), and the average age of those taking part is 12/14 years. Great fun, and there are always one or two of them who take their Dads off afterwards to buy them some figures – so good for the future of the hobby, too.

In many ways Phalanx is the highlight of my gaming year, because it’s wargames purely for fun.
