Mark and I had a great time last year at Conquest. The hospitality of the Christchurchians was second to none.
Cheers,

Big Battle DBA Tournament – Sunday:
The following format will be used for the Big Battle DBA Tournament. As this is the first time Big Battle DBA has been offered at Conquest we expect player numbers to be low. Keith there was a Big Battle Tournament last year, I have a Medal to prove it I played the Ozzies, Greg & Mark, and Greg Wells.

Nice report Keith. Looks like all participants enjoyed themselves. Pity numbers were down on last year.
Cheers,

Yes, a few people couldn’t make it which was unfortunate, including a couple of Australians...

Impressive Classical Indian army.
Those elephants appear to be back on the ropes or was that a ploy of some sort?

...Those elephants appear to be back on the ropes or was that a ploy of some sort? Mark is in the best place to comment but I suspect the Indian commander was expanding his mounted wings drawing the enemy in before advancing his elephants. At least that was the tactic he used against me some time back and it worked well.
