The DBM Army List Resource

This page is intended to help new (and not so new) players of the DBM (De Belis Multitudinus) wargames rules pick and organise their armies. On this page you'll find:

• lots of basic advice for choosing and organising DBM armies, plus
• contributed example army lists and commentary on how those lists are intended to be played.

There is a special section on popular army choices for new players and how best to translate those ideas into capable DBM armies (see Some classic/popular armies for beginners). Most of the information here comes from members of the dbmlist yahoo group for DBM.

Please contribute - the password for editing the pages is dbmlist07
