November 13th, 2011I came second at Cancon 2011 in the DBA competition. I was staying with Doug for that weekend and Doug had won the competition. However, for the first and second place getters, we had not played over the six games of the competition so I maintained that the only reason Doug had won was that [...]

2 people had their say - be the next! |  Print This Post |  Email This Post |  I thought I would do a quick write-up of painting the Rajputs for Cancon 2011. Realistically, it should not be that difficult to paint up a DBA sized army. Painting one element a night and over two weeks a DBA army would be completed. I selected the Rajputs from an Essex Miniatures DBA Army pack [...] Tags: 15mm, essex, how to, Painting, rajput, Wargames |
2 people had their say - be the next! | Print This Post | Email This Post | The last battle – round 6. For this round I had drawn Adrian Williams and his Samanids (“Sama-what’s” said I, “Samanids” said he). I could not find that list easily in the rules so thought “what the heck, let’s just deploy and see what turns up”. In fact the list Adrian was using [...] Tags: 15mm, ancient, Canberra, cancon, DBA, khurasanian, rajput, samanids, Wargames |
One comment so far | Print This Post | Email This Post | Round 5 arrived. For this round I had to face the Wars of the Roses English of Peter Braham. Peter’s two sons, Bas and Sam, were also playing as juniors in the competition and both finished higher up the table than Dad. I was a little concerned as one of the options available to [...] I had lunch (the by now usual burger with the lot and Coke Zero) and in the first round following that Rajputi feast, I faced Brenton Searle and his list IV/33 Epirot Byzantine. This looked to be a difficult game for me as apart from Brenton being a good, experienced player, the Byzantines have a [...] Tags: 15mm, ancient, byzantine, Canberra, cancon, DBA, epirot, epirus, rajput, Wargames |
Nobody has commented yet, kick it off... | Print This Post | Email This Post | Game three saw me pitted against Chris Hersey and army II/33 Polybian Roman. Whilst on the surface of it, the Romans look fairly vulnerable, they are really quite a good, general purpose type of army. It is true that my knights would “quick kill” most of his infantry but if he played well, his [...] Tags: 15mm, ancient, Canberra, cancon, DBA, polybian roman, polybius, rajput, roman, rome, Wargames |
Nobody has commented yet, kick it off... | Print This Post | Email This Post | My second game was against Reon Halverson using army II/05a Later Hoplite Greek (Spartan). Reon is a junior and eventually won the encouragement award. On the day before, there was a junior DBA tournament run then when the senior tournament was being played, the juniors were invited to play in that tournament as well. Reon [...] Tags: 15mm, ancient, Canberra, cancon, DBA, greece, rajput, sparta, Wargames |
4 people had their say - be the next! | Print This Post | Email This Post | The first DBA game I played at Cancon 2011 was against Jason Dickie’s Late Imperial Roman Army. Jason was using the East variant of this list, enabling him to take more knights. I had rolled lower than Jason for my aggression dice which when the rolls were added to our aggression factors ensured [...] Tags: 15mm, ancient, Canberra, cancon, DBA, late imperial rome, LIR, rajput, roman, rome, Wargames |
Nobody has commented yet, kick it off... | Print This Post | Email This Post | The first DBA army I put together and painted – yes, this was the first DBA army I got around to painting ever – was the Rajputs. This was the army that I did for Cancon 2011. I had left it to the last minute to prepare the army. I selected the Rajputs because [...] Tags: 15mm, ancient, Canberra, cancon, DBA, rajput, Wargames |
