Dark Ages – DBA Campaign – Sunday 1st of March

“Britannia At War”

There will be a DBA Campaign held at the Group North Historical Wargames Club on Sunday 1st of March. The campaign will be structured to allow 5 games of DBA over one day using a simple set of campaign rules and the standard DBA 12 element armies. There will be 4 rounds of basic 12 element games and then (depending on the number of players) 2 x DBA Big Battles as all armies meet (with their allies) to decide the fate of England.

Theme

The campaign is based (loosely) on the Viking incursions and Norman conquests into Saxon lands and the various skirmishes between the Welsh, Scots and Irish over the period (790 -1066 AD), with players taking command of a range of armies to either pillage and plunder or conquer and rule.

The DBA rules used will be “Version 3.0” and army lists to be from “book III”. The basic DBA games are fought with 25mm figures on a 120 x 120 cm board.

The Event

The day will start at 0915 hrs and we plan to be finished before 1700 hrs.

Contact us at groupnorthwargame@gmail.com to confirm attendance and indicate if you are supplying your own army.

Australia Day Gaming

Well, the night before actually. But we hope that everyone got a few rounds of whatever your favourite game is in between some mouthfuls of sausage today.

First up we had a play of Republic to Empire on a lovely Cigar Box Battles Mat.

Some Guildball was being played. Still a popular game at the club.

There were some more Vanguard games getting played for Kings of War. This will be wrapping up soon and players will be moving onto their bigger armies in preparation for Crows Feast.

Fields of Glory is another game you’ll see every week.

The giant Battletech miniatures continue to get a weekly game at the club.

Flames of War continues to be a regular, this was a first run for an army.

Finally some of the Tantive IV missions from X-Wing were played. There was a tense moment at the end of the first mission as the Imperial player, desperate to cripple the front of the ship lined up three of his ships hoping that would damage it as it moved through. Lucky for the rebel crew their shields took the hits for a win.
