DBA ELEMENT HINT CARD

One way to make hint cards is to show just a picture of the troop type, move advanced is to show a picture of an actual element.  I have gone further to show all the elements in an army of each type. 

The examples below come from the Pict Army

II/68b PictishArmy 500-842AD:  1 x General on horseback(Cv) or on foot(3Pk), 2 x light

 horse(LH), 6 x spearmen(3Pk),  3 x archers or crossbowmen (Ps).

These examples come from a recent King Arthur vs the Saxons Big Battle game.  As this was based on the movie "King Arthur," the Picts were an ally of Arthur.  To represent the character of Guinevere played, by Kira Knightly, I added a fast bow with a female archer.  This replaces one of the Psiloi elements.

Bob Wall Tournament Game for MFCA War-games Convention, 1969

This is the map/board used in the Tournament Game.  Squares are 1 in.  An army consisted of 12 infantry stands , 3 Cavalry stands (both of 2 figures each) and 2 stands of Artillery with a gun and 2 crew.  At that time the figures were typically Airfix U.S. civil war.
