Wellington Warlords: Four games, two new players and a visitor from Under the Mountain - from Michael Stonyer, 23 June 2026

Michael Stonyer was at the Wellington Warlords on Saturday and kindly took a heap of pics to share with us. There were four games of DBMM, including two new players, a big welcome to Richard van Deursen and Ash Crossland, and a visitor from Under the Mountain, Keith V Trye.

Games played were:

Mike (Middle Imperial Romans) vs Richard (Early Imperial Romans). It was Richard’s first ever game of DBMM. They played DBMM 200 using 240AP.

Barry Norris (Early Carthaginians) vs Ash (Lydians), also DBMM 200 using 240AP.

Paul Graham (Marian Romans) vs Keith (Gauls)

Graham Starkey (Ancient British) vs Daniel Wade (Early Imperial Roman).
