Message to all....

I would be very interested to know roughly how may people out there are playing
DBMM and where they are.

I am a member on this forum and the Yahoo list, but its quite often the same voices
time and again on these forums. In light of some of the negativity emanating from
some countries and from fans of other rules, I would be interested to see answers.

So quote this part, and add to the list please:

Thanks

Hi

No      Name                              Location                    Numbers Playing
         Gary Barr                          N.Ireland
         Stephen Brittain                 N.Ireland

We are not a club as such just regular opponnents, Stephens brother John also plays occassionally and I think at least another couple of local players use Dbmm.
Several N.Ireland regular Dbm players now play FOG I believe as do we on occassion..................

              Neil Fox                           Germany                     estimate 20+

we have had several events, each with 8 - 12 players, but it?s not always the same people.
With DBM, the biggest German event was 34 players, of which about 10 were from abroad (Finnland, Switzerland, France).  Most German DBM events were about 16-28 players. 
Our biggest problem is the lack of a translation.  People who understand reasonable English struggle with the new rules. FOG is pretty, is written in very simple English and will soon be available in German. This has attracted some of the 6th Edition ( ! ) players and has also some DBM players.)

12)     Andrew Fergus           Auckland, NZ                  6 + 6*

I have added 6+6 because we have about 6 regulars at the Auckland Wargaming Club, plus I'm aware of  another 6 at a neighbouring club (North Shore Wargaming Club).  Apologies to any NSWC members if I have this wrong.  We had a small competition in February 2008 and we had 16 players from the 2 clubs plus an umpire - some appear to have drifted away from DBMM.  We have a few others that have tried it but our club has split into DBMM, FOG and fence-sitters.

Personally I think it is a great game - vastly superior to 3.1.  I have no negative comments - I may question some rules and interpretations but I still love the game!

Cheers
Andrew

Due to various factors I'm not able to play as often as I would like, but will continue to support DBMM.

Thought I would tidy up a little.... I've also added a notional number for the
Dublin crowd. Attending a comp there this Sunday with 14 plus players.

Finding this very interesting. Especially the Spanish contingents. I was at the ITC in
Lisbon last month where I was told that Spain had gone entirely to FoG. Would seem
this is incorrect.

Unfortunately, we have a problem in Spain with DBMM. I don't want to accuse anyone, but I must say that there is an active campaign against DBMM here. Sorry, I can't speak due to the presence of other Spanish users in this forum. I just can say that we are still fighting aganist the tide!  :'(
