Mick Hessian supplied this Report:
To launch DBMM V2 in the DGG club we played a 100AP mini-campaign on the Wed 11th
August club night using the campaign system published (on DBMMlist?) a while back. There was a
Habsburg/Valois Wars theme (1494AD-1515AD) to exploit the extension of the lists
to 1515.
We supplied a pretty wide range of W.European armies for people to choose from,
ending up with two teams as follows:
French Ordonnance (Tony Farrell), Ottoman Turks (Brian Ronayne), Anglo-Irish
(Rob Brennan) and Late Swiss (Alan Condron, making his DBMM debut)
V
WotR English - Henry VIII (Mike Whelan), Late Hungarians (Dave Lederer),
Medieval German - Territorial states (Jan Van Embden) and Italian Condotta -
Florentines (Me).
So more of a Tudor/Valois war really. We used preset terrain boards of variable
We had 2 DBMM v2 competitions in Dublin on the 31st of July (3 games each). This was DBMM v2's worldwide premier as a competition set. It was also the 10th year of Strongbow's Shield as an event - so we must be doing something right! To celebrate this we had a bring and buy in support of RINIWA - this was ably run by Mick Hessian who at one point commented that it might take us another 10 years to accumulate so much stuff for sale!
I umpired. and despite many players only receiving the rules within the last 2 weeks we had very few rules issues - a good sign!
Everyone felt that v2 was a big improvement and no-one was bemoaning the lack of v1 (fairly unusual for wargamers ....:-)
