Half of the players will be Roman and half will be barbarians. No Built Up Areas (BUA) are allowed, and any River placed will be automatically paltry. Armies with dismounting elements may only dismount on their first bound of the game. With only 6 players the barbarians would play each Roman in turn for a round robin.

With 8 players the tournament will be a pyramid format. The first round will be four 1-on-1 DBA battles (Romans vs. barbarians). After the first round, each of the two players will join forces in a doubles team so that there will be two 2-on-2 games in the second round. After the second round, the four players will join forces for a large 4-on-4 Giant Battle DBA game in the final round. The victor of each round serves as the C-in-C for the team in each later round. Elements lost are NOT replaced from round to round, with two exceptions. If a player's General is lost then it may be swapped for any surviving element. If a player has fewer than 6 elements after a round the player may add only enough lost elements to bring the army up to the minimum 6 elements.

Scoring: Modified NASAMW.
Fee: $1 (to defray the cost of the prizes)
Prizes: Best Roman player and best Enemy of Rome player.
GM: David May
