Prior to FoG I mainly wargamed with DBM. This page is a legacy collection of a number of DBM resources as a record of the time I spent enjoying those rules. There is a series of battle reports and a number of army lists. The army lists are pretty much all DBM v3.0 vintage. It is unlikely that these will be added to.
Battle Reports
Sheikh Yer'dice - IWF 2001
LIMP in South Africa - IWF 2002

400appatsyvarientv2.txt - a different version of the above.

alexandrian400ap.txt - the Alexandrian army I took to Roll Call 2000. I came 8th from 30ish. If I used it again I might swap the Pk to Ax, and consider the Irr Sp(O) being Reg Sp(I) - or dropping all the Sp, take the Hypaspists as Ax(S) and get even more Thracians and/or converted Pk.
latersargonid400ap.txt - a test of the v2 Later Sargonid list, never actually used. I think it's better with a 10 LH(F) Skythian ally.
lydian300ap.txt - Lydian produced for a quick v3.0 test game. I think the army has potential in it's regular guise - especially for 500AP doubles.
lydian300apwithsp.txt - a variation on above.
neohittite400ap.txt - Neo-Hittite, an army I keep looking at, despite it's obvious flaws.

graecobactrian400ap.txt - Graeco-Bactrian; yet another army I keep looking for a good list for. Is this it?
hatrene.txt - Hatrene from the Arabo-Aramean list, my attempt at finding a Bw based army to try out the Oz bowmeister theory.
serbianfordoubles.txt - A Serbian Empire army we took to the Leeds round of the SOA doubles, and did badly with.
serbian400ap.txt - a smaller version of the above.
serbian400apv2.txt - a revised 400AP list with 2 allies. Could be fun or frustrating.
sicilian400ap.txt - my first try at a Sicilian list as I try and find a Book 4 Kn based army I like.
sicilian400apv2.txt - the next iteration of the Sicilian army, only slightly different.
sicilian400apv3.txt - another one.
sicilian400apv4.txt - and another.
earlybyzantine.txt - a reasonable attempt to get a useable army from this difficult list, it's one of those you think should have a great army in it but it never quite works out.
lorenzoseearlybyzantine.txt - top Italian player Lorenzo Mele's version. Did well at Britcon 2002.
earlycarthaginian500ap.txt - A doubles army including a Numidian ally, I thought it worked pretty well in a comp where only armies from book 1 were allowed.

kushan500apdoubles.txt - a doubles army used by myself and Hammy in 2000 at Reigate.
