Registration is now closed as the venue for MOAB has reached capacity. So for DBA that means 16 on Saturday for Wimpy Wars and 15 on Sunday for the Lord of the Steppes campaign. I'll post runners and riders once I have received all army lists.
Cheers.

Hi Greg, I had a great weekend. I also learnt lots as well, which will definitely make me a better player. Next tournament, I'll definitely take armies which are much more forgiving and newbie-friendly.
Regards, Andrew

Regards, Andrew Andrew, I'm so glad that you enjoyed your 2 days of DBA across 2 very different formats. Your 7th place in Wimpy Wars was a very credible result. I hope to see you at more tournaments. Cheers,
