TOURMENTUS IV – Spring DBA Competition 2011 – hosted by Monday Knights

It is not too often that a Tournament Organiser gets to say this – but I had a hoot running this year’s TOURMENTUS IV Spring DBA Competition.

It was an absolute pleasure, games went smoothly, questions answered at the tables amicably, all participants played in good spirit and I really enjoyed watching some really good hard fought games. Congratulations to Matt, Michael and Scott D who finished 1st, 2nd & 3rd respectively. 1st and 2nd places were so close that it had to be resolved by count back based on their opponent’s score.

This year we experimented with recognising & rewarding achievements in addition to straight wins & victory points – with most achievements made by Michael.

Best Painted Army was Scott B’s Husite war wagon army (painted the night before) and Sportsmanship award went to Mitch

Big thanks once again to Nic Robson & Eureka Miniatures for the Prize Support.

Congratulations to everyone who participated, thank you for braving the wet weather. Hope to see you all next year.

Phil LeHunt (Tournie Organiser)
