DBMM, De Bellis Magistrorum Militum, are wargames rules for ancient and medieval battles from 3000 BC to 1525 AD. The rules are written by Phil Barker and published by the Wargames Research Group Limited Publications. The rules, army lists and books are available from www.wrg.me.uk The purpose of this blog is to promote the rules in New Zealand by sharing information and photos. This blog replicates posts on the DBMM New Zealand Facebook, for those wargamers who do not use FB.

Hands-free driving in a Tesla Model X - posted by Russell Briant, 26 October 2019
Spent a couple of hours at Silicon Valley Innovations which included the Tesla experience.
I’m in the back back seat and this is the car’s sound system. This is the Tesla Model X.

Hands free driving in the Tesla Model X. It’s self steering cruise control. You still need to actively stop it at lights for example. So it’s not an autonomous driving car.

Cooking Apicius: Roman recipes for today - posted by Vince Cholewa, 26 October 2019
Ordered by my favourite wife, this book arrived in the post yesterday. I know, it’s not DBMM but a sampling of 1st Century AD Roman cuisine will be interesting. Progress reports will be posted as comments. For the record: There are no recipes in this edition for fattened dormice or stuffed sow’s udder; and it is unlikely that Apicius was actually the author of the Roman book that carries his name, it would have been used by slaves not by a member of the wealthy, educated elite.

Construction adhesive for basing and filling - posted by Vince Cholewa, 24 October 2019
One step gluing and filling using construction adhesive for basing (also known by the brand name Liquid Nails, though I am using Bunnings’ home brand). If it is strong enough for building construction, it’s strong enough to glue toy soldiers onto bases; it doesn’t shrink so is ideal for filler around the figure bases; dries hard as wood; and dries brown so you have a good colour before you paint and add basing materials. Keep your spreading tool damp with water to work the adhesive around the bases. While it is still soft you can embed tufts, stones etc. I didn’t this time because I do most of my painting in the morning before going to work and I ran out of time today.
