Larry Chaban reports:  This turned into a much better tournament than we expected. TWENTY players showed up with armies stretching across all 4 Books. Two armies were used by 3 players each, Ancient British and Arab Conquest. The most "manly" army was used by Bruce Snoddy, with Early Saxons (11 Wb and 1 Ps).

The Warband Chief is David Dougherty, with Early Visigoths (for which he was awarded Steeler fuzzy dice!). He was followed up by Jack "The Butcher" Sheriff and David "Schlang-Schlang" Schlanger. Schlang-Schlang did get the title of General Killer as he killed the opposing general in all 3 of his games.  I would note that we did have some "less manly" armies played as they included Kn or SCh or Art or even El!   Thanks to all the participants who made this a great event!"

DBA Open Tournament

This is the annual DBA Fall In! Open event. Each player brings a legal DBA 2.2 army.  Initial pairings are based on chronology with players paired based on point totals in subsequent rounds.

Matched Pairs Tournament

In the Matched Pairs tourney, each player brings a pair of v2.2 armies that are listed as enemies. Each game one player provides the two armies and the other picks which one to use. The pair can be any scale based appropriately; so players can offer paired armies in 25mm, 15mm, 10mm or 6mm scale. Players use own armies twice and those of opponents twice.

The Crusaders in Outremer:  Conquest of the Holy Land
15mm DBA Campaign Theme Event

A campaign theme event. Players were assigned a city on the event map based on their army selection (some loaners available). The goal was to conquer your neighbors and build an empire by acquiring them as vassals. Build the biggest empire to become the Conqueror of the Holy Land!

Crusaders Giant Battle

The Outremer campaign ran late into the evening and so this Giant Battle event was cancelled for lack of players.
