DBMM 100 inter-club: my four games - posted by Vince Cholewa, 22 March 2025

Thank you so much to Neil Williamson for running the DBMM 100 inter-club competition at the Hutt Valley Wargaming Club today. Something I learned, playing DBMM 100 is very different to playing a full-sized game and is definitely not just a smaller game. A great system for playing four games in a day, as we did.
I used Mitanni and had a great day playing Gary Lewis (Later Hoplite Greeks), Jim Hosking (New Kingdom Egyptians), Steven (Early Achaemenid Persians) and Craig Mabon (Kushan); gentlemen all 😊

I finished with 52/100 and team Horowhenua was third. Neil will post all the details.

Playing against Gary Lewis’s minor states later Greek hoplites. My cunning plan involved marching around a flank; a flank in DBMM 100 is only 400 paces. Spot the mistake! 😝 The game ended with me just hanging on for a 10-15 draw.

Jim Hosking with his New Kingdom Egyptians, though this pic is not from our game. Jim rolled rubbish PIPs, I rolled rubbish combat dice and we ended with both our armies broken! 12-13 to Jim.

Steven with his Early Achaemenid Persians. I was not able to press home my advantage on the right that you can see here and again I held on for a 10-15 draw, just.

Craig Mabon with his Kushan. Craig got an early edge on me in this game but then his PIPs dried up in the crucial bounds and I burgled a 20-5 win.

The back story for my Mitanni.
