Second Outing for the DBMer's at EW
Richard Gravatt kindly offered to facilitate the clubs DBM Tournament for the second year running and revised the format to reduce the workload of the participants.
In the end 10 members entered and have used a mixed collection of armies, though it is very knight heavy. The players were split into two pools with the top players in each pool playing in the final to decide the championship for 2015.
The Armies chosen by book order are.
1/18 Mycenean M - Les Mills
2/64 Middle Imperial Roman 280 AD MM - Richard Gravatt
2/74 Palmyran M - Peter Kemp
3/8 Central Asian City States 963 AD M - Bob McDermott
3/12 Christian Nubian M - Tim Myall
3/43 Khurosanian 963 AD MM - Drew Jarman
3/51 Norman 1066 AD - Chris Dearlove
4/13 Medieval German 1440 AD M - Peter Hockaday
4/17 Later Crusader - Rafael Fonseca
4/23 Feudal English 1264 AD M - Paul Brady
I have asked for the dates of the individual armies and will update the blog in due course. I think Pool 1 is the tougher of the two pools army selection wise but since players are not time limited except that its usual for us to play to a conclusion during one of our normal Sunday club meetings from 09.30-17.00 hours if necessary.
We will be using the BHGS 32-0 score system and DBM v3.2 which hopefully avoids any problems with drawn scored in the pools.
The seeds from last year who entered were Peter K, Drew J, Bob M, and Tim M and these were split alternatively in each pool.
Pool 1 is:
2/74 Palmyran - Peter Kemp
3/8 Central Asian City States - Bob McDermott
4/13 Medieval German - Peter Hockaday
4/17 Later Crusader - Rafael Fonseca
4/23 Feudal English - Paul Brady
Pool 2 is:
1/18 Mycenean - Les Mills
2/64 Middle Imperial Roman - Richard Gravatt
3/12 Christian Nubian - Tim Myall
3/43 Khurosanian - Drew Jarman
3/51 Norman - Chris Dearlove
