DBMM Nationals Update - Where are the Medieval players?

This years trophies have arrived (thanks Potbelly Miniatures) and are now primed and will be off to be mounted tomorrow.

There are a reasonable number of registrations to date but the overwhelming majority are for the Pre 1071 Pool. So come on you Medieval Players, where are you?

I will be at Valleycon this weekend so, if you are keen to come to the Nationals at Kings Birthday, please shoulder tap me and I can take down your registration details.

Format is the same as last year with date based Pools:

• Armies before 1071AD - Default 400AP or 450AP by mutual agreement
• Armies from 1071AD - Default 450AP or 400AP by mutual agreement

The reduced cost for Bge(O) will be repeated this year, to encourage players to use this more historically appropriate option.

In addition, instead of players needing to specify Stratagems in their lists, a new option will be to allow simply reserving a value of AP in your army list and being allowed to select up to two stratagems up to this value on a game by game basis.

Full details are in the Player Pack that I have loaded into the Files section https://www.facebook.com/.../permalink/2520187241474186/ 

Can you help with Late Imperial Roman list? Asked by Chris Blacker, 23 April 2024

Hi all, Levin wargamer, Chris Blackler, has bought this Late Imperial Roman army for DBA and would like to expand it to a DBMM army. Would people who have used the army or know the list well be able to help with suggestions for command structure, tactics etc.?

Two DBMM games at the Wellington Warlords on Saturday - from Alastair Duncan, 22 April 2024

At the Wellington Warlords on Saturday, from Roving Reporter, Alastair Duncan: Michael Stonyer and Dr Reg skipped the DBMM bug but still managed to look ancient with a 15 mm DBA dark ages bash offering a path to bigger things.

Meanwhile, Daniel Wade’s Ancient Brits managed to overwhelm Barry Norris’s later Carthaginians - though it would have been a faster game if the respective warbands had remembered to kill their opponents in two ranks!

Somewhere in India, Richard Fields’ Classical Indians worked out that Bw(I) and elephants could easily see off Alastair Duncan’s Alan's!!!!

Reg and Mike's game was 28mm and another system. To the Strongest?

John van den Hoeven that explains the round bases, many thanks. Did they play 15mm DBA, too?

Don't think so, Reg doesn't like DBX systems.I only know this since I was playing my first game of anything this year at Battlegroup WW2

I was hesitant to report my game with Barry as he has given me lots of help and advice with my list. I repaid his kindness by beating him.

Correction. Stonyer and the good Doctor were 28mm Lion Rampant medieval while the 15mm were not them.

This correction circulated in the interests of protecting ting reputations and mainstream dbmm journalism!!!!
