It's a bit sad that supporters of other rules feel they have to actively work against DBMM - but it's their choice.

I suggest ignoring them as much as possible, playing your own game as much as possible, and letting them look like petty jerks as much as possible....

BTW if 2 and 10 are the same should they be on the same line?

I've added the Reading crew to the list.  Most of our DBx gamers are now playing Flames of War, there's usually one FOG game going on.  We Three Men don't get to the club as often as we ought to proselytize!

Like others, I'm fascinated to learn of the existence of 28 Spanish players in an area that popular legend has it is now dead to DBx.  Viva Espana!

Hi Tim,

Well, it's a very hard work to be a DBMMer here. The terrible "misty" Romans throw us into their Circus Maximus spectacles as a divertimento, so we have to hide into the catacombs. But one day...

On the other hand, I can understand your confussion. Landmeister IS a German word, bit I'm not German. I accept your apologises. 

[DaveMather]

Be good to see some over in the UK where the Competition scene is growing and is both welcoming and friendly (the same can be said for Ireland and Italy)

The BHGS Challenge will take place in Ascot April 4th/5th (with practice day on the 3rd) - its only 15 miles from Heathrow Airport

5 games are guaranteed in the comp and did i mention the beer fridge


Kind Regards

Hi Dave / All

Realistically it would be good to pick a couple of competitions next year to try and get a lot
of International travellers at. One would certainly have to be the European Continental Championships
in Rome later in the year - BTW has Lorenzo any info on this yet ?

For another comp it would make sense for this to be one of the two large BHGS competitions, either the Challenge or Britcon. Both are near to airports with onsite accomodation. Personally I think Britcon would be better but it has the downside of being in the middle of the holiday season. In Ireland we currently have the Celtic in Dublin later in April which may cause a bit of a problem for those of us who travel. Certainly my Wf(S) may be less than impressed.

What do others think ? Lorenzo ? Landmeister ? Neil ??

BTW the Irish already have 7 of us committed to making Britcon next year.... that may not
be an incentive
