Five games of DBMM at the Wellington Warlords (1): Middle Imperial Romans vs Egyptians - from Michael Stonyer, 15 December 2024

Michael Stonyer reports there were five games of DBMM at the Hutt Valley Wargaming Club’s last meeting of the year yesterday. I don’t know how the games played out. If you were there, we’re keen for your comments

Mike (Middle Imperial Romans) vs Richard Mason(Egyptians, not sure which but with chariots)

Barry Norris (Dublin Vikings) vs Gary Lewis (Mercian)

Josh Barton (Hebrews) vs Alastair Duncan (Philistines)

Craig Ellison (Carolingians) vs Graham Starkey (Ancient British)

Paul Graham (Palmyrans) vs Shay Bassett (Medieval Welsh)

Mike sent lots of pics. These are from his game against Richard and I will upload more in subsequent posts.

“The game’s afoot” as the great bard had Henry V say. Richard Mason plotting how his Egyptians with respond to Michael Stonyer’s Middle Imperial Romans.

Another view of Richard Mason plotting how his Egyptians with respond to Michael Stonyer’s Middle Imperial Romans.

The game is definitely afoot!

This is a great looking army! Are those footsore Vikings (without armor) and a few goths sprinkled in?

Mathias Rapp, I contacted Michael Stonyer and he says:

Hey Vince

I picked the miniatures to make up my Gothic Warband from the Footsore Viking Collection.

The Prussian officer in greatcoat and picklehaub is from the woodbine design company stocked by gripping beast

Hi Mathais, The guys at Footsore were awesome. Rather than have to purchase packets of four random miniatures they allowed me to choose my own poses and pay for them four at a time.

The front rank of the Warband are a mixture of actual goths and late anglo saxons figures; all from the footsore dark age ranges

In fact, I was running Dublin Vikings. To be fair there was an Irish ally.

Ancient British first, Croatian ally second and Carolingians a distant third - great game and to-ing and fro-ing (Carolinginan) never works...
