Mark the dates! DBMM events planned for 2023 - posted by Vince Cholewa, 3 December 2022



Mark the dates! DBMM events planned for 2023, so far. Including all the regulars and new events (irregulars? ho ho) planned for March and May in Featherston, and for July in Levin. I will pin this post as featured and save a “live” document in files, updating it as we get more information.
February 18-19, ChariCon, at the Hutt International Boys’ School, Upper Hutt: Neil Williamson will be running an "asymmetric" (i.e. armies with uneven points) DBMM competition at ChariCon, which returns after a COVID-induced break. Screen shots of the ChariCon flier and the DBMM rules of engagement are posted here https://www.facebook.com/.../8248.../posts/2185345144958399/
March 4, first day of Huzzah! Featherston: Allen Yaxley will be running this two day event at the Featherston Fusiliers. The competition is in three groups: Group 1, 3000BC - 192AD classical, chariots, Early Imp Roman. Group 2; 193AD - 1071AD dark ages, barbarians. Group 3, 1072AD - 1515AD medieval. 450AP including stratagems. Only accepting six gamers per grouping, 18 in total. Four have registered interest to date.
Entries close end of January. Second day will be May 6.
