Hi all Just to let everyone know that I'm putting on a 6mm BBDBA game at the upcoming Society of Ancients' Battle Day (7th April at Sycamore Hall, Drayton Rd, Bletchley, MK2 3RR). The chosen battle is Paraetecene 317BC and is the first of a two stage showdown between Antigonos and Eumenes, thus promises lots of pike and elephant action  Just finishing off the respective forces at the moment - photos to follow... If anyone is interested in coming along and playing/helping out, then let me know - the more, the merrier! P. |

Paul.
Funny I was just thinking about that after reading Martin's excellent article in the latest Slingshot - Arsuf with BBDBA.
I'd certainly be interested in helping/playing.

Am already running Alton Matched Pairs that day, Paul, so won’t be able to participate. Pity the Battleday clashed. Expect some players will be at Bletchley instead of Alton (eg Phil S).

Well, Alton was announced in early November, a few weeks before the Battleday date was fixed, and had already been moved from earlier in the year to avoid other clashes (Northern Cup, Mercian), and to avoid Salute. The Battleday organiser wouldn’t have known of the clash unless he follows the DBA related websites, I guess.
We clashed about 5-6 years ago, but my lack of flexibility due work means it’s not easy for me to shift. Likely losses are Phil Steele, and anyone else with SoA connections (Bill? eg).
Still probably get a good turnout, but won’t get the chance to go to the Paraitakene refight.

M I guess it's an inevitable consequence of the popularity of the DBA Uk tourney scene that these clashes will occur from time to time - every silver lining has a cloud, I guess! I would imagine there'll be a North/South split on this one, in all probability anyway, and unlikely to drag many of your regulars away from Alton... Cheers P. |

And a great, exciting game it was too - went right to the wire in the final bound. Paul's figures looked fantastic. Thanks Paul for all the hard work to make the game look so good.
