The Christian Nubians Decide To Visit Germany

Last game in the Essex Warriors DBM Club Tournament for Tim and myself.

Tims ally was unreliable and I broke his warband command causing it to change sides. Unfortunately we both forgot about this until after 4 more turns when I have managed to break a second of Tims commands and we then realised his whole army had broken some four moves before. It didnt make any difference as we both had a fun game and learnt some new things in time for the DBM Competition Caesaromagus at the end of the month.

Christian Nubian list to follow in due course
From memory it was:
Ally command 13 EE
Warband command 24.5 EE
Bw [I] command 9.5 EE
CinC command 28.5 EE
Army 75.5 EE [38 to break]

The ally was unreliable which meant as soon as I broke the warband command it changed sides which added to the two bw [I] that had been lost earlier was enough to break the army. We forgot about the unreliable ally changing sides until I had broken the Bw [I] command some four moves later.



Here is a selection of pictures










Above, the moment the warband command broke
causing the unreliable ally to change sides.


The loss of 2 Bw [I] by my WWg [O] and Bw [O] was enough to break the army.
We forgot this and continued to play until I broke the Bw [I] command.
