DBMM (and other games) in Levin on Sunday - shared by Vince Cholewa, 18 August 2026

August 16: Four tables four different sets of rules

It was great to see everyone at our meeting on Sunday, playing DBA and DBMM ancients and medieval, BattleTech SF and Bolt Action World War 2. Games played were:

DBA, Samuel Taylor (Spartan expeditionary force in Asia Minor) vs Mike Waters (Later Achaemenid Persians).
DBMM, Chris Blackler (Vikings) vs my Lithuanians.
Battletech, Blair and Richard Glendinning played and Richard posted here https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EkT3mbjsr/
Bolt Action, Alan Cassidy (US Marines) vs Ed Gough (late war Germans). I took only one limited pic of this game but Alan posted here https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Btimvswct/

A view of the hall. From the front: DBMM, DBA, Bolt Action and BattleTech.

DBA, Samuel Taylor (Spartan expeditionary force in Asia Minor) and Mike Waters (Later Achaemenid Persians) are happy

A, Mike Waters (Later Achaemenid Persians) vs Samuel Taylor (Spartan expeditionary force in Asia Minor) are more serious. Stephen is even more so!

DBMM, Chris Blackler deploying his Vikings vs my Lithuanians

DBMM, Chris Blackler (Vikings) vs my Lithuanians. After one bound each you can see the shape the game is going to take.

DBMM, Chris Blackler (Vikings) vs my Lithuanians. Crang! When we called time we had both lost one command; Chris had lost just over 40% of his army’s ME and I had lost over 30% of my army’s.

Richard and Blair Glendinning playing BattleTech.

Bolt Action: I loved the poster in the very English town being pulled over by Alan Cassidy (US Marines) and Ed Gough (late war Germans) and then forgot to take more pics. Definitely a “doh!” moment on my part but Alan took lots of pics https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Btimvswct/
