Heavy Metgal Con - Richard Foster posted on October 25

Greetings everyone,

Over Labour weekend we had our annual 25mm Ancients DBMM convention. We had 17 gamers show up from as far south as Wellington and as far north as Takapuna.
As it is a non-competitive outing with real blokes we allowed participants to try out several different armies.
The results are;
Benny using Sea Peoples…67
John Calnan with various knight armies ….63
Grant Brown with Lybians and Gypos…..62
Philip Abela with E.I.Romans ……62
Me with Middle Assyrians and Patsies….57
Ben V with Crusaders and Vikings…………..51
Rob Sadler manhandling Medieval Portuguese…..42
Paul Graham suffered with Palmyrans and Parthians….38
Allen Yaxley using Biyuds…….37
Mike Hodgsons tried E.I.Romans 101….36
Gary did not glitter with the Cypriots…..21

Others did not play all rounds but here is some interesting reading;
Barrel rolled out the Picts……56
John Way persisted with his Marian Romans….44
Gerard L used Late Hungarians….38
Al Donald used Spartans and Wars of the Roses English …..30
Ivan accommodated with Early Germans…..13
And lastly Mark appeared with some Carthaginians…7

The Best sport went to Al Donald for persevering despite his injuries and unsolicited advice
The Best painted army eventually went to Rob and his Portuguese although there were several other fine armies especially mine!

All up jolly good fun with an excellent curry on Saturday night.
That’s it.

Uncle Dickie

Vincent Cholewa Good show chaps. Pip pip and all that 😊

John Way Was much fun hanging with my fellow pale stale males. My two wins were as much a surprise to me as to my opponents! Staying for the second day would be pushing my luck... thanks organisey folks
