Tut, a classical encounter and was that a pike fondue? From Alastair Duncan, 22 February 2026

Roving Reporter, Alastair Duncan, was at the Wellington Warlords yesterday and reports that three games of DBMM were played. Alastair says:

Richard (Tut) Mason’s New Kingdom Egyptians faced off against Paul Graham’s Seleucids.

Next door more Seleucids under the command of Barry Norris decided Paul Goldstone’s Republican Romans could stake a claim to peace in the middle East.

While in Merrie England the wandering Swiss Pike of Alastair "Stinky cheese” Duncan went down to Shey Basset’s "Perfidious Albion" 13-12 to Shey in a game of mutual destruction!
