Marc and I have decided to put HotT and DBMM into the blender and see what comes out. We have played a little of each and like the fantasy trappings of HotT but like the extra detail DBMM allows in terms of movement and complexity as well as the removal of geometric kill problems.
I think really Marc just wants Goblins(S) to put on the board. We'll keep you posted here.
Update:
It looks like HotT and DBA will have new editions later this year. So DBMP goes on the back burner for now. It's more fun to play than reinvent the wheel.

DBMM 100 Ancient Briton List
Based on the DBM Ancient British list, this is a possible army list for DBMM100:
The slingers will screen the main force, attempt to break up the enemy line and retire through the main force as they are able. The CinC will keep the warband in check from the back rank until they can be released. He will then hang back to plug any holes. My standard formation for the main body will be a block 6 wide and 2 deep with 2 extra elements in column on each wing for easy expansion or in a third rank with the CinC as a reserve force along with any surviving Ps.
The Lh will take one wing and the Chariots the other. The Lh will carry out the usual flank protection and harassment duties. The chariots will attempt a flanking move and if prudent will dismount as Wb(S) per the list once pips become available after the main body goes impetuous.
Well, that's the plan anyway.
| Troop Type | Cost Per Element in AP | ME Per Element | Number of Elements | Total Cost of Elements | ME |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C-in-C Irr Wb(S) | 5 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 4 |
| Cavalry - Irr LH (O) | 5 | 1 | 2 | 10 | 2 |
| Foot warriors - Irr Wb (F) | 3 | 1/2 | 16 | 48 | 8 |
| Slingers - Irr Ps (O) | 2 | 1/2 | 6 | 12 | 3 |
| Chariots - Irr Cv (O) | 6 | 1 | 4 | 24 | 4 |
| Totals: | 99 | 21 | |||
| Disheartened: 15 1/2 Defeated: 10 1/2 | |||||
