Four DBMM games at the Wellington Warlords - from Alastair Duncan, 19 July 2026

Roving Reporter, Alastair Duncan, was at the Wellington Warlords yesterday and reported:
Hard on the heels of the previous week’s bash in Taranaki, a number of the veterans resurfaced at the Warlords.
Pic 1: King of Kings, Paul Graham, led a multiplayer Persians v Lydians game.
Pic 2: Daniel Wade’s Romans took on Graham Starkey’s Parthians.
Pic 3: Raymond Dick’s pre-Islamic Arabs were sharing the dunes with Uncle Dickies' (Richard Foster) Seleucids (2nd place in the Naki).
Pic 4: Paul Goldstone’s Polybian Romans took on Alastair’s new 1st Corps Scythians. Note Pauls dice in a crucial move!

Given the Middle East theme there was no sign of any American ally generals. Mainstream media noted all players were considerably better dressed than Pete Hegseth!

  • We timed out after 6 hours, excluding lunch. 40+% casualities on both sides...not easy fighting in sand
  • Paul Goldstone’s Polybian Romans took on Alastair’s new 1st Corps Scythians. Note Pauls dice in a crucial move!
    Paul last heard mumbling "Wedges, bloody wedges!"

    " considerably better dressed than Pete Hegseth! ".... talk about setting a low bar

  • In my game with Graham Starkey he surprised me with a flank attack. I managed to survive for a few turns but defeat was inevitable.

  • This surrounded element survived a few rounds of combat. Romans can be tough to kill.
