Pics from three games of DBMM at the Hutt Valley Wargaming Club - from Michael STonyer, 26 August 2025

Michael Stonyer was at the Hutt Valley Wargaming Club on Saturday and sent these great pics from three games. Mike says:
Graham Starkey (Parthians) vs Richard Mason (Libyan Egyptian) - What to do when your superior warband ally occupies the centre of the main battle line, throws a one and the entire centre of your battle line becomes unreliable? Opportunity knocks for General Starkey!
Barry Norris (Ottoman Turks) vs Philip Gates (Spanish) - The Ottoman Empire vs none other than El Cid deceased. A huge fight as the knights of Spain 🇪🇸 inspired by none other than El Cid himself, albeit deceased but none the less dead and loving it, strapped to his horse leading the charge, the legend of which was to inspire a future movie, Weekend at Bernie’s 😝 But alas that last brilliant stroke was not enough to break the Muslim knights and spahi's backed by superior Janissary archers.
Richard Fields (Classical Indians) vs Alastair Duncan (Communal Italians) - Classical Indians and the three PIPs. The question is, how to spend them wisely? As it turned out, a victory ✌️ for classical India 🇮🇳

Vincent Cholewa we called it after 3 hours and 4 turns each. School night you know. Karl and Brad each had a disheartened cmnd with the wind direction pretty obvious. Horde bear Kn twice! Only in a five game!

Great to see DBMM being used in ways other than the standard 350-400AP pick-up game.

Phil Malthus honestly that was what turned up, dice put nearly all of it at one flank, so 3 pieces couldn’t go down
