Title: 'Oi That's My Pig!', Dux Bellorum at the Devon Wargames Group
Post by: carojon on March 29, 2025, 08:57:12 AM

One of the games played this month at the Devon Wargames Group included this raid-style game using the Osprey published rules, Dux Bellorum, by Dan Mersey.

I gather much fun was had trying to steal livestock while fending of angry villagers with sharp pointy sticks.

Looks as if it was a great game. Thanks for sharing.

Those 5 game campaigns in LR2 work really well, eh?
Just the right amount of games with just the right amount of commitment.

Doh!
I've just realised. I've posted the above in the wrong thread.
It was meant for the Lion Rampant WotR campaign thread.
Oh well, we can't all be clever, eh?

Nonetheless, that Dux Bell game looks great. Haven't played DB in ages - it's a really good game as well.

Thanks for your comments chaps, even if the odd one had me a bit flummuxed to begin with.

I think Dux Bell is one of my favourite rule sets with a very clever and engaging system and as this game shows, very adaptable to  scenarios other than the straight up shieldwall battle arrangement.

Cheers
