2010

Grunwald/

Tannenberg 1410AD

This will be our offering for 2010; a battle billed as being the most important decisive conflict for control of Eastern Europe.! Fought in 1410 between the Teutonic Order and a goodly number of Crusading Western knights, against an Allied force of Poles, Lithuanians, Tartars, Russians, and others. It was a close-run thing, but the Allies won the day thanks to a number of factors. We will be using DBMM. A full write up coming soon...

Triples:

Nicopolis'08

 

We did the Triples show on Saturday 15th March 2008. It seemed to go down well; lots of people stopped for a chat, the terrain was commended on more than one occasion. Good show.

Here are the photos I took...

 

Rome

-v-

Carthage

Ian and Ant fought a thrilling DBMM100 battle on Friday night at the Patriot Games store in Huddersfield. It was a resounding and bloody Roman victory over the 'unlucky' Carthaginians... Photos here... Ant's Battle Report here...

 

Ottoman

-v-

Hungary

We met at the Latvian Club in Huddersfield and played a couple of games of DBMM (400AP) on Sunday 17th February.

The Ottoman Turks defeated the Hungarians in both encounters. Photos will be uploaded soon, but in the meantime, here are a couple I took with my phone... and here is ... The Bigger Picture...

 

     

2007

Congratulations to us. The Crusaders hit the Target in Scotland.! Read more (photos to follow)...

 

Nicopolis

We put on a demo game for the Kirriemuir Wargame Show known as Targe on Saturday 3rd November 2007. It was our old favorite, Nicopolis 1396. We used the DBMM version rules on a 6 x 4 foot table. The hills and terrain were modeled especially for the show. In the end we won the "Best Demonstration Game In Show" which was a pleasant surprise..! The accolade was accompanied by a certificate and cup which we will get engraved. So we're going to have to go back to defend out title next year - with something bigger and better..!  

 

Seven Year's War

This was a game that the IlkleyLads put on for us early in 2007. It was the first of the "Inter-Club Challenges".

2006

Nicopolis

Our first outing for this demo game featuring the "Big Battle" DBA system and Rupe's terrain board. We also managed to associate ourselves with The Lance and Longbow Society on this one. David Lanchester of LALS seemed to like what we did, and we generated a bit of interest from punters. This is where we signed Robin into our ranks. an, Rupe and Rob hosted the game.

 

Bretwalda

The first outing for Bretwalda. Ian and Rupe hosted the game.

 

Gutisko

A game put on for a number of people in an attempt to recruit some more regular members. It was popular and we cemented a few inter-group friendships (Ed.. Hi to Evan, Bill and Pete) and Adrian provisionally joined us.

2005

England Expects

Ian designed this naval game to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar (1805). Ian and Rupe hosted and refereed two games for a dew interested groups of interested lads. It went really well, but we decided that our next shows would be purely demonstration games.
