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 [...] Whilst the first two days of Cancon 2011 were taken up with the DBMM competition (from my perspective at least), the third day was the DBA competition, and the competition that I unexpectedly shined in. The army I took was the Book III, List 10b Hindu Indian (Rajput). I had only completed the painting and [...] Tags: 15mm, ancient, Canberra, cancon, competition, DBA, DBMM, Wargames |
3 people had their say - be the next! | Print This Post | Email This Post | I got back home from Cancon 2011 late last night (midnight in fact). Still, the tiredness was purely physically as my mind was still racing. I have just had three days of fun and wargaming in the best spirit. I will write more on this later but a brief summary will have to serve here. [...] Tags: 15mm, ancient, Canberra, cancon, competition, DBA, DBMM, Wargames |
One comment so far | Print This Post | Email This Post | I started my first competition at Cancon 2011 on Saturday and finished the DBMM v2.0 competition today. I didn’t win. However, that is not important. I had a really good time playing wargames with people who were friendly and helpful to me, the newbie. I have played four games over the last two days. Each [...] Tags: 15mm, ancient, Canberra, cancon, carolingian, competition, DBA, DBMM, franks, rajput, Wargames |
3 people had their say - be the next! | Print This Post | Email This Post | 19:15 Friday night, the bag and armies are packed. I had planned on getting away at 16:00 for the drive to Canberra – that would have given me a daylight drive all the way there and the joy of seeing Lake George as the sunset. However, one thing led to another and I was late [...] Tags: 15mm, ancient, Canberra, cancon, competition, DBA, DBMM, Wargames |
Nobody has commented yet, kick it off... | Print This Post | Email This Post | 10 days ago I updated the status of my preparation for Canberra’s Cancon 2011. At that stage I was still in the process of sorting figures for my East Franks or Carolingians – yes, at that time I still had not decided which army to use for the DBMM 2.0 competition. I also had [...] Tags: 15mm, ancient, Canberra, cancon, carolingian, competition, DBA, DBMM, franks, rajput, Wargames |
Nobody has commented yet, kick it off... | Print This Post | Email This Post | The preparation is well underway for the trip to Canberra for Cancon 2011. Some holidays have been approved from the office. I’ve organised somewhere to stay with friends whilst I am at Cancon and as he is another wargamer, I’ve ensured that it will be a hobby-packed three days. The armies are progressing – well, [...] Tags: 15mm, ancient, Canberra, cancon, carolingian, competition, DBA, DBMM, franks, Wargames |
Nobody has commented yet, kick it off... | Print This Post | Email This Post | I decided yesterday finally to enrol in both the DBMM 2.0 and the DBA competitions at Cancon 2011. I’d decided a while ago that I probably would go. So, now the holiday is approved from work and the enrolment has gone in. Now, my biggest problem is to decide the armies to use. The DBA [...] Tags: 15mm, ancient, Canberra, cancon, carolingian, competition, DBA, DBMM, franks, Wargames |
Nobody has commented yet, kick it off... | Print This Post | Email This Post | The first of my collection of hairy barbarians. The Ostrogoths were one of the two Gothic tribes or branches. The others were the Visigoths – we’ll get to them in the near future. The Ostrogoths big claim to fame was the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy when they took over the Western Roman [...] Tags: 15mm, ancient, DBA, DBM, DBMM, essex, Wargames |
