As someone who doesn't get to play much ADLG and therefore mostly experiences the game vicariously (thanks Madaxeman), this is an interesting topic, thank you.
I did play loads of DBM, though.

There are not that many, certainly not enough ... |

Thanks; I'm actually going with 10mm, so I'm considering putting two ranks on each of the 40mm x 20mm or 40mm x 15mm base, but haven't decided yet.
Depends on how flexible you want to be. If you want ... |

Thanks for writing these. They've been a delight over the years (decades).
Reminded me that I like ancients after I dabbled in "other things" for a while.

Thanks for the write up!
It is interesting to see that the Roman vs Phyrric games are tending toward being close.
A historical result if you ask me!
I have also found that mass pike are often a ... |

I appreciate your report titles.
Also the reports.
Your opponent getting two hills was a big advantage.

Thank you for writing up these games.
They're fun to read, it's interesting to see how units and armies I haven't tried go, and it helps ease not being able to get games in a little.

That's very prescriptive and easier said than done @Alexander.
The Pole could have won if he would have been able to destroyed the enemy Medium Swordsmen.
This is discussed in the battle report.. ... |

An interesting series, thank you for sharing.
While I agree that the author has a point, ADLG has a lot of little rules scattered about, I'm not quite as bothered as they appear to be.
