A great meeting at the Hutt Valley Miniature Wargaming Club yesterday with at least a dozen tables being used for: Five games of DBMM; one of Saga (25/28mm skirmish rules for Ancient and Medieval); some World War 2; Modern; and some Fantasy and SF.

| Neil Williamson moving his hidden command out of the fortified village where they had been lurking behind my army’s flank. He also had an ambush and a flank March. Neil used Alans vs my Seleucids; 450AP. — at St Brendan's School. |
 |
| Josh (Comma) Barton (Hundred Years War English) vs Dirk Heinsius (Fatimid Egyptian). From what I gathered afterwards, this was a game where the defensive +1 for (S) most (all?) the English foot was a major factor. — at St Brendan's School. |

Josh Barton
it was, I just got lucky at the right times
Dirk Heinsius Josh Barton More to the point I was unlucky. I knew that my blade couldn't stand up to yours, so I needed the ambushing knights to tip the balance. The two 1s thrown by the knights when shot at kind of ruined the whole thing.
Dirk Heinsius For anyone interested, in the picture above there are 5 Kn(O) in ambush behind the dune, ready to spring out onto the flank and rear of the advancing English Blade/Bow combo, whilst my Blade(I) pinned them in the front.
Unfortunately the longbow turned and shot at the advancing knights (anything but a 1 was my cry), and of course I threw 2 1s. After which Bd(I) don't stand up to Bd(S) frontally.

| Michail Woolf is learning the ropes as his Wars of Roses army nears completion. He watched Craig Ellison (Late Imperial Roman) vs Richard Mason (Kushite Egyptian). — at St Brendan's School. |
 |
| Bruce Ferguson (Siamese) vs Allen Yaxley (Early Carthaginian). Their armies were in contact before Neil and I had even finished setting up the terrain on our table! — at St Brendan's School. |
 |
| Graham Starkey (Seleucids) vs Alastair Duncan (Nikophorian Byzantine). I suspect Graham’s cup might not have been running over. — at St Brendan's School. |
