Bakewell Winter Warmer DBA Tournament 2023

It was our pleasure to sponsor the lads at Bakewell for their Winter Warmer tournament of DBA. They had a fine turn out and we provided 15mm miniatures as prizes for the winners. Alternative Armies is happy to consider any event for sponsorship and we have resources for several a month if desired. See below for Simon's account of the event and if you are into DBA and its sister systems our historical ranges are well suited to this role. 

 

See the Isarus 15mm Ancient and Dark Age as well as the Medus Medieval Range and the mighty 15mm Renaissance 16th Century range. Over to you Simon! 

 

The theme was “Run for the Hills!”. All armies had to have a home terrain of “Hilly” and the usual terrain placement rules were replaced by a house rule that made sure there were lots of difficult hills to contend with. Players used their own armies on odd rounds and opponent’s on even rounds. There were six rounds in total. 

 

Tournament rankings and armies brought were as follows: 

 

1 Stephen Finn Cilician Armenian IV/2 

2 Mark Skelton Mapuche IV/84a 

3 Pete Duckworth Samurai IV/59a 

4 Richard Pulley South Welsh III/19c
