DBA at LEVIATHAN 2008

The Leviathan DBA Comp went off well and everyone had a great time.

To those who were there thank you very much for coming.

The Winner was John Geer who zoomed way out in front in the points and played very well all day.

Second Place went to Steve Hopkins who was a contender but in a unseen upset
was piped by the last placed player in the final round. Very unlucky.

Third Place went to Martin Stewart. who's chariots where good to see on a battle field usually full of knight armies.

Fourth Place went to Mikey Richardson who did extremely well with a Japanese Blade Army in
mostly very open pre set-terrain. (Especially as he is only 8 years old)

Special mention also to John Thompson for his good performance and good sportsmanship
but unlucky dice as he also was in the race as a main contender till the last round.

Thanks also to all the others who played on the day which made it a great tournament
and all the others that could not play all day but had friendly games with the Ref who was dying to play.

Prizes:
Everyone who played won a DBA Army from www.ssau.net and Caesar Miniatures.

John G. Won first prize a very large engraved Champions Beer Glass (like a 21st style tall glass) , very nice and a big bag of prize vouchers.

John H. won Second prize a very nice runners up engraved Beer Mug. (German style) , which was also very nice and a bag of vouchers.

Martin S. won Third prize, a Strategic Simulations Super DBA Ruler/Gauge, which he didn't pick up so can he please contact them so they can send it to him.

Mickey Richardson (8yrs old) who got the Encouragement Award, a voucher from Napoleons Bookshop.
Congratulations to Mikey for such a good showing he was even in First place until round 5. Great effort for an 8 year old
and it would be great to see more young kids getting into our sport.

Thanks again to everyone who played on the day.


yours
Michael

There will be no restrictions on which DBA armies can be used, but dismounting will be limited to deployment and BUAs will count as bad going - otherwise the rules will be as per DBA 2.2.
