Legion 2011

Hi all

I am trying to gauge interest for Bath Wargames Club's Legion 2011. In an effort to be a little bit different, who would be interested in a BBDBA competition?

Thanks

Stevie

Hello Stevie

I'm certainly interested in Legion 2011 - I have always enjoyed my visits in the past. Have you given us a date yet? If yes, please remind me, if not please publish ASAP.

As to a BBDBA competition; in principle it sounds interesting, but the games are, of course, much longer. How would we play it competitively in a day?

Stevie,
Happy to give it a go, although I do feel that BBDBA does share a disadvantage with most other wargames rules, viz. if you get yourself in a losing position, it takes a long time to lose! Also ipresume you would need system which would differentiate between grades of win as I guess you would only manage two or three rounds.

Colin - the date is being negotiated with the hall currently - should be the same time-ish as last year, late April.

As regards scoring, I would probably take a look at the DBM scoring (though I know they normally play 4 rounds over two days), but any suggestions gratefully received.

Just an idea at the moment though. It could end up as plain DBA depending on numbers.

Given a choice, I'd always prefer 'standard' DBA, but that having been said, if it WAS a BBDBA comp, I'd still do my best to attend.

ps SURFS UP,DUDE !!

Would the intent be for BBDBA to be played as a singles or doubles event?
Interested either way, but on the basis of number of rounds, would probably prefer standard DBA.

For preference I would prefer maximum number of DBA games, preferably at least four (4).

So far I am picking up standard DBA as the preferred option......................Any advance on that?

I strongly recommend using the NASAMW BBDBA scoring system. It is the gold standard in BBDBA tournament scoring; I'm not sure I've heard of any BBDBA competition in the last four or five years that hasn't used it.

Stick to it, it works, small, not much need for armour and weapons, friendly, if it ain't broke don't fix.
