"De Bellis Renationis" is a set of wargames rules for Renaissance battles covering the period from 1494 AD to 1700 AD. DBR version 2.0 offers a combination of realism and excitement for this warfare using miniature figures in any scale from 2mm to 30mm. The creation of the experienced wargame designers Phil Barker and Richard Bodley Scott, DBR can be used to refight historical engagements or your own scenarios from small scale skirmishes to the largest battles of the period. With its command system using "player initiative points", DBR emphasizes the player's generalship rather than their ability to manipulate a set of rules. It allows players to fight actions from the whole period and across the whole world, from Japan to Europe and the Americas and from the Italian Wars to the Nine Years' War. This edition combines the 2002 edition of the rules with all three of the books of Army Lists and includes everything the wargemer needs to refight these battles in one single convenient volume.

At the age of 17, David McCumber was stricken with "road fever" that irresistible call to the itinerant life of a professional gambler. Twenty-two years later, he got the chance to follow that dream-not as a player but as the "stakehorse" (financial backer) for Tony Annigoni, a non-smoking, macrobiotic-eating "Renaissance Pool Hustler," student of Eastern religion, and master of the pure green-felt poetry of the dead stroke." With $27,000 in David's pocket they took off together on an astonishing four-month odyssey across America-traveling from seedy, hole-in-the-wall billiard parlors to high-class snooker rooms to high-tension pro tourneys, from Seattle to Miami and back again-exploring a shady twilight subculture and uniquely American mythos, in search of serious money, local glory...and the perfect hustle.
