Hi, I have recently relocated to North Shields Just outside Newcastle UK
Are there any other DBA players up here near Winterfell?

Hello PD, it seems your reputation as a hairy barbarian from the south has preceded you, hope somebody replies.

Hi Peter welcome to Tyneside.Unfortunatly DBA is very rare up here.There is a Wargames club I used to go to in Northshields which does multi-period gaming but not DBA as they were pretty negative to it...even prefering 6th Edition to DBM.lol
The closest gamers I found were in Stockton.I am very suprised as late as the year 2000 there were DBA competitions at the Gateshead shows which had a reasonable turn-out.Sadly,the Gateshead shows ended and DBA vanished.The Border Reiver convention is on 1st September at the Gateshead Stadium but I doubt if any DBA will be played.
I unfortunatly cant find free-time to game due to work commitments through the week and family time at weekends...even painting armies is limited to a few hours at weekends if I have the energy and motivation.lol

You might try open house for people visiting the wall, there might be a few of those.
If coming from the south York the Newcastle might also be a draw, try making Bakewell if you can.
Good luck.

Hello Pete
There's a small-ish group of new DBA players that meet across the north east. I'm based in Cambridge but travel up quite frequently. PM me your email address and I'll put you in touch with my friend Paddy - last spotted playing Hordes of the Things in a Newcastle pub only this Wednesday!

I am from the North East and regularly visit so might be able to arrange a game. 25mm only but I can provide armies for a fair few historical match ups
