We had two games of DBMM at Pukekohe on Sunday, October 4.
Philip and Wayne matched off in the smaller scale (15mm) with Lydians versus Philip's brand new Sea Peoples. Sadly for Philip, the Sea Peoples suffered rather from "Newly Painted Figure Syndrome" and consequently crashed to defeat. Both armies really did look superb and I wish I'd been able to take more photos.
Meanwhile, I gave Ian, who is returning to DBMM after a break of a few years, a refresher game in advance of HMC in a few weeks. As Ian had some transport issues and couldn't bring his own army (transporting 28mm on a motorbike is not recommended!) we used two of my armies: Anglo-Norman and Sicilian Norman.
And while the games were in progress, who should walk in than Paul Graham, visiting Auckland and dropping off the Brent Senior-Partridge trophy that Grant Brown won recently at CTA. Grant, being something of a wargaming polymath, was playing 15mm DBR on the day.
