DBA 2.0
Pike & Shot Extension

Pike and Shot Campaign Army Lists

By Robert June

NOTE: To save time I have dropped the numerical basing suggestion before the element abbreviations. Therefore, what is listed in DBA 2.0 as 2x4Pike, would be in my lists 2xPike, since all pike in this extension are 4 models per base.
