Mike Demana's Nubians brace for the onslaught of Scott
Wells' Ancient British warbands
Drums doubles the DBA fun in 2008
This year, John Lawitzke decided to add an extra DBA event at Drums Along
the Maumee. The first of his "Bring & Battle" events covered
Book I & II armies, while the second Book III & IV. Although last
year's record numbers were not attained, turnout was solid and well above
previous years of DBA at Drums. As usual, John ran a teaching session for
newbies or those who needed a primer prior to beginning the three rounds
of games.
The winner in both tournaments was Dave Zecchini, with Marian Romans
in the Early and Samurai in the Later event. Congrats to Zeke, and the full
results are listed below:
