So congratulations to Dave Madigan for another well deserved win and thanks
to everyone who made the effort to enter another successful tournament.
Mention must also be made of our co-sponsors, Volga-Dnepr UK Ltd
and Ruslan International Ltd who kindly provided a lot of the prizes.

Dave Madigan [L] collecting his prize from Jer Morgan [R]

For the sake of completeness I have included the BYE army scores to 
show how well it did in the many and varied hands running it through the weekend.

I am still shell shocked about the appalling run of bad dice luck I had all weekend.
Despite getting the deployment mostly correct, the match ups nearly perfect, 
with no unreliable allies I was still virtually unable to roll better in all the combats
and from what looked like my view point at least half of all my combat dice rolls
appeared to be 1’s in all four games. 

Jer called it catastrophically bad dice rolling the like of which he has 
never seen before.

I thought the army I had chosen had some decent troop types and was 
deserving of mid table mediocrity.

The list I took was as follows 400 Ap using v3.3 AP as this was a test tournament

Army Totals
54 E/56 EE/28 B

Frontally this army was very tough and it should have managed to punch its way through most armies I faced but it wasnt to be. Perhaps it was divine punishment for using a Papal Army when the Roman Catholic Church stands for everything I dislike about all forms or religion organised or otherwise.

Theres always another day and I will just put it down to experience.

My weekend consisted of me sitting there quietly whilst rolling dice and constantly exclaiming "another 1" when every I rolled my combat dice to the utter amazement of my four opponents and other players who came over to watch my misery. I could not even beat two deep Wb F hard flanked, double overlapped with Reg Sp S in my last game where I rolled four 1's in succession to lose the combats and the whole army in four bounds of play within two hours of starting including set up time.

I still like medieval era armies but I dont think I will be using this one in another tournament unless it is extensively revised in the DBMM v2 army lists, when ever they finally get published.

Next Years tournament is booked for 26th-27th November 2016

My specially converted Papal Fleet [never made it onto the table]

My army all packed ready for the off - I should have just left them in the box this weekend!
