DBA Try Out Day

De Bellis Antiquitatus (DBA v3) Come and Try

Sponsored by Group North Wargaming Club, Military Hobbies and SADBAG
(South Australian DBA Gamers)

Guest door fees ($5 for visits 1-6, $10 afterwards) or membership door fees apply.

For over 35 years DBA has been used by many gamers as the “best” wargame for a quick and fun Ancient (or Medieval) wargame on a small table using only a few figures.

If you are interested in starting in Ancient wargaming or have played DBA before and want to be a better player … come along to Group North’s “Come and Try DBA” Day on Sunday 13 July from 0915 hrs to 1600 hrs.

All terrain and figures will be provided, but bring your own 25mm or 15mm figures or DBA Army if you have one.

For more information or to “book in” for the day contact Marcus on mjtregenza@live.com.au or groupnorthwargame@gmail.com

Every year a close enough record of games played at the club is recorded between AGMs. Here are the results of last years records.

First up we have 430 unique plays recorded, up from 394 last year. We also managed to get 57 different games compared to 54 last year. So more games and more variety.

I’m sure there are entries missed for games played, but we can see that the Marvel: Crisis Protocol powerhouse continues and Team Yankee is showing some great growth. We obviously had an influx of 40K players and Battletech: Alpha Strike exploded out onto the scene. SAGA had a good run thanks to Ross’s campaign and Lord of the Rings has had a big resurgence.
