February 20th, 2011My first competition game at Cancon 2011 (well, at any time really) was against Dave Turner, a Canberra local, and his Book II, List 73 Old Bavarians with Avar and Western Slav Allies. This gave him a good troop mix with the Avars providing Superior Regular Cavalry (Reg Cv(S)), the Western Slavs providing a [...]

One comment so far |  Print This Post |  Email This Post |  I had decided to play the De Bellis Magistrorum Militum (DBMM) competition at Cancon 2011. Looking through the army lists as well as the figures I had at home I had settled on something Carolingian in appearance. I had some figures that I had acquired at a bring and buy in the UK and [...] To complete my battle reports from Cancon 2011 of the DBA competition, I thought I would include the final scorecard which lists players, armies and final results. This was such a fun competition, the games played in great spirit, the juniors, in many cases, outperforming the seniors. I can thoroughly recommend anyway thinking of playing [...] Tags: 15mm, ancient, Canberra, cancon, DBA, Wargames |
One comment so far | 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 |
