The problem with prize armies is that the winner may already have that army - or you go for something really obscure, which is probably obscure for a good reason. The Baueda Hellenistic Fortified camp (DBA6) is rather nice, quite new (so not many people are likely to have it) and could be used for a variety of armies. Would that be an idea? Yep...camps/terrain can go down well, and are relatively ‘neutral’. I did used to do that for a while but with terrain being so generic would most people appreciate having some more? The novelty wore off after a while so I stopped doing those as prizes. Okay, just looked and MM have a range of terrain pieces specifically for DBA. Looking at the range of prices would people be happy if I spread the joy a bit? I've always liked the idea of each group winner coming away with something... Camps could be good as they're fairly useful for different armies so long as there is nothing too unique about them. Obviously it will be Tuesday before I order now but I would appreciate feedback on terrain / camps as prizes. |

I'm checking with MM. Re-reading their e-mail the one issue is if they have to order in the products then it won't get to me in time for CRUSADE. So that means Baueda camps are out as they specifically mention they can't do those. I have asked about "Miniature World Maker" terrain. If not then I will have to default to armies again and the winners get to learn about obscure armies.  |

No reply from MM so either they are thinking it over or I'll have to go ahead and order armies as prizes. I can't leave it any later really. Still looking forward to Saturday week though! |

Update,
Due to time constraints I have gone ahead and ordered two armies as the prize support from Magister Militum, one each for the winners of the open and plate. But there will be trophies for 1st - 4th in the open and 1st - 3rd in the plate.
Getting in. I have had the following information from the show coordinator:
"We will allow the DBA'ers entry from 8.30am onwards. They should enter via the main entrance & ask for Pete (Scott) who will take their entrance fee & issue their wristband. They can then report to the B&B to book in their items & then go straight to the DBA room (we'd rather they weren't wandering around the show at this time!).
We will, however, need a list of those attending for the DBA so that Pete can mark them off".
Is that okay for everyone?

Estimated arrival 0930 ( assuming normal entry is 1000.) |

I am happy to tender my SOA scalp for Society Championship purposes. Looking forward to it. |

MM have confirmed to me that Miniature World Maker terrain would have taken too long to get to me. I may do a brief survey at the tournament to guage opinion about prizes and then sort stuff out earlier for 2021.
BTW, I really need real names so we don't confuse the door people. If you prefer you can let me know by e-mail: Aldavion @ yahoo dot co
I've spaced out the address to thwart crawlers.
Just in case I had better add my mobile number: 07811042222
I wonder if web crawlers can use that?
