Looks good!
1 minor point, slide 10 - maybe better to say 'you can't move more than your full movement allowance', as you can move the full distance, you don't have to move less than this.

I'll shortly be emailing those people interested in attending to get votes for which three armies we'll ask Irregular Miniatures to supply as their sponsorship for this competition.
So far we have 17 people interested. These are: Simon Wilson Paul Murgatroyd Stevie Andrews Ken Gordon Baldie Terry Mahon Tom Whitehead Pete Davis Colin Alcock Rob Rush Tim Rogers Pete Duckworth Martin Myers Keith Murphy Paul Hodson Tom Davis Rory Pratt
Therefore if anyone else is interested in attending, (details on the first page of this post) please let me know and message me their e-mail or if anyone above can no longer attend please let me know as well.
Thanks

Ok Keith you're in
If you're plus 1 wants to give me their email address as well I'll add them to the group. (This does not commit anyone to attending but it does mean you get updated info sent direct to you and you get a say in the choice of armies for the podium positions.)

Hi Carll
As far as I know the most northerly DBA tournament next year will be the Steel Warriors event in Sheffield on March 23rd.
If you check it out on the Tournaments tab there should be all the info there.
However some of the main reasons you may want to attend are: 1. The highest scoring player who has never played in a DBA competition before will be given a free DBA army, provided by our sponsors Irregular Miniatures. (If you register as wanting to attend, you'll be invited to be part of the vote for which armies Irregular provide as prizes.) 2. It's designed as a 'FUN' tournament, so you're encouraged to bring the worst DBA army possible, as you never play with it. 3. Some rounds are designed to give the people at the bottom a better chance against people at the top. 4. As myself and my brother are organising it there should be at least one of us around to quickly help answer any rule queries etc.
If you want to register interest just reply here. (Registering interest doesn't commit you as we'll be taking the money on the day, although obviously we'd like to be fairly certain of numbers near to the date to know how many tables to prepare etc.)
I'll be listing people who've expressed interest nearer the time.
If you have any other specific questions I'd be happy to answer them.
Cheers

So if presentation is what attracts people to a rule set and DBA is so poorly presented compared to other ancient rule sets, then by definition there should hardly be any new DBA players around?

I like the Great British Paint Off concept - bring on the Showstopper round 😉😂 P Ooh, some fun options for the technical - hoplite shield designs? Medieval heraldry? Fancy horses? Nah, technical round is where you're giving some felt, mdf, bits of moss, some grit and a can of green spray paint and have to produce some terrain that Stevie approves of!

I def want a GW like 200 pages of fluff having no bearing on the game whatsoever. Oh and adverts, dont forget some adverts. Also don't forget to split the army lists down into 5 separate time frames, fill them with lots of colour pictures and make them hardbacked so you can charge £15 each for them so the total package comes to about £100 to play before you even get the figures!

There will be the usual trophies: In addition, new for 2023 Best Presented Army Just noticed this! So not best painted army, otherwise Mr Murgatroyd could be a hot contender, but Best Presented! So my money is on Mr Hodson who's always extremely well presented. If he turns up with his Tuareg and gives a rendition of 'Sons of the Desert' he'll be hard to beat!! Can't wait!

Time Commanders was great. I will send in the Heavy Infantry through the swamp and the javelin skirmishers will hit the Roman legion head on. You obviously saw me play last Saturday! Ah but style counts for a lot and you were voted one of the top two best dressed participants.
