Here is a picture of my grandson, son, and me playing DBA on my birthday.  Age range from 5 to 74.  My grandson demonstrates that he knows how to win in DBA :)   Roll sixes!

I have seen sets this quality figures going for $5-7 per figure on eBay and forums.  Bare figures cost $2 and $3-5 for painting.

I will compromise and ask for $120 and will add
Complimentary bearer and lion

Postage:  Fixed rate USPS box @ $13.65
US only as too much trouble to do customs forms and anyway, postage is 3 times as much.

I have plenty more Arabs

Strange figures from Essex for my King Arthur Army

Strange figures from Essex for my King Arthur Army
I ordered a ready made King Arthur army from Essex,  DBA 3 Book 2 81a.  All nice figures but when I got down to actually painting them, I found that the Spearmen were actually Saxon Warband -- SXA4.  Not only do they not look like Romano-British pedyt, some have axes.  They should have oval shields.

So either Essex does not know what the troops look like, or they made a packing mistake.  I want to ask for a change, but what should be the figure I ask for?

Here is what they sent for the Auxiliary and the Spearmen

In 25mm I have Footsore Romano British.  What Essex figure is best for this?
