The most popular rules used at the NSWC
are DBM and the new DBMM, but we also play some games of Shattered Lances, DBA
is also occasionally played, and maybe the odd game of Warhammer Ancient Battles.
Principles of War Ancients and Art of War/Field of Glory have also been
tried. Ancients is played in both 25mm & 15mm
scales at our club, and 1/300 ancient armies have made rare appearances in the
past.

Shattered Lances: Wargaming in the
Age of the Crusades 600-1400 AD
SL was published in July 2005, and is
available from Outpost.
DBM version 3.1
The latest official amendments to the DBM rules, version 3.1, are
available to download.
The NASAMW have a useful guide to changes in v3.1

The club has a 25mm plastic Early Imperial Roman army, known of course as The Club Romans. It was put together in the early 1980s from the range of hard plastic Rospacks figures, and has been rebased several times.
