Hutt Valley Wargaming Club: Fatimids vs Crusaders - pics from Michael Stonyer, words by Vince Cholewa, 14 May 2022

At the Hutt Valley Wargaming Club today (post 1 of 3), photos are from Michael Stonyer (many thanks ) and all mistakes are mine. Corrections are most welcome - in comments or by messenger and I will make amends. There were four games of DBMM and one of DBR. DBMM: Barry Norris used Dirk Heinsius's Fatimids against Alastair Duncan's Crusaders; Gary Lewis (Middle Anglo-Saxon Mercians) vs Russell Briant (Middle Imperial Roman); in the battle of the Richards, Richard Mason (Fatimids) played Richard Fields (Sea People); and in the battle of the Pergamenes, Paul Graham played Peter Noble. DBR: Allen Yaxley (possibly Danish) played Drew Fortune (Ottomans).

Here is Barry (Fatimids) vs Alastair (Crusaders). The Fatimids were on the ropes, almost broken, when a final, desperate charge killed a Crusader general, broke his command, which in turn broke the Crusader army!

Wilf Redpath watching that die roll!

Barry now on the ropes makes his move crushing not only the hopes and dreams of the mighty Crusader army but also their general in the process

Dirk Heinsius

Fatimids won 20-5, very proud I am
