I have recently bought the DBN rules as I would like to start in this period without the need for loads of figures or complex rules. So – I bought DBN https://dbnwargaming.weebly.com/
The rules look very promising and Alex, one of the authors, has been very helpful in responding to a couple of questions I had. As an enthusiastic DBA player, I found the rules quick to grasp.
As for figures, I saw some 6mm mdf miniatures at the Reading Wargames show at Ascot race course recently. I bought a pack to see how my eyes would get on with painting them. Others will no doubt be able to paint them a lot better than me but I was quite pleased with my attempt. Cavalry, artillery and a French army have now been ordered. I do like the fact that you can buy them either in acks or individual strips of 8 infantry or 3 cavalry. These can be found at http://www.commission-figurines.co.uk/ They also do ancients and ACW and some very cost effective buildings.
I look forward to painting the rest of the armies when they arrive and having my first game of DBN!

They look great Simon. their ACW sets do really appeal to me. Wouldn’t know which set of rules to use though.
Cheers,
Pete.

Figures first, rules later I always say! DBN is very well established and seems to be a lot of fun.

I’ve got my eye on these 6mm MDF Napoleonic figs too. I’m wondering though… how do they attach to the bases?

I just PVA’d them to an MDF base. When dried, I then applied more PVA and flock.
