Einladung zum Brian Boru in Dublin im Herbst

Beitrag von Zensor Konfusius » Fr 18. Feb 2022, 09:32

Hi All,

To give potential participants as much advance notice as possible, I am pleased to announce that this year’s annual DBMM competition for the Brian Boru trophy in Dublin is now confirmed to go ahead in the autumn:

DETAILS
Event: DBMM Competition for the Brian Boru Trophy 2022
Date: Saturday and Sunday, 122-23rdth October 2022
Venue: Teachers’ Club (Club na Muinteori), 36 Parnell Square West, Dublin 1
Format: 2-day, 4-round themed 400 AP DBMM event
Theme: Mind Your Fingers! - see below for more details

REGISTRATION
Registration will be at 9.45am on the Saturday, with the first game to begin at 10am. The competition will conclude with prize-giving at 5.30am on the Sunday. The competition entry fee is €40

LIST DEADLINE
Players who submit their lists by Friday 24th October 2022 will be eligible for entry in the draw for the door prize. I am the competition organiser and list checker. Lists can be submitted to me by email to: jan@cnmedia.ie

THEME
The theme for this year’s competition is: Mind Your Fingers! Pike Armies from 3000BC to 1070AD

To be eligible for the competition, players can choose any army from any year with the specified time span of the theme (3000BC to 1070AD), provided that:

The chosen army includes a minimum of 60 APs worth of troops classed as Regular or Irregular Pk(I), Pk(O), Pk(S) and/or Pk(X), or any combination of these to a total value of 60 or more APs


Note that elements depicting partially pike-armed troops, but not classed as such (for example, Bw (X), do not count towards this minimum.


COMPETITION RULES
The current published version of DBMM (Version 2.1) and relevant associated army list books will apply. Note that tournament specific rules will be in force (see below).

Round Length: Each round will be 3 hours 30 minutes long, plus up to ten minutes added by, and known only to, the umpire

End of Round: When time is called for the end of each round, if one or more combats have been resolved, then resolve all outstanding combats before proceeding to calculating the final score. If no combats have yet been resolved, end the game immediately and proceed to calculating the final score.

Spot Prizes: Each round, a spot prize will be awarded to the first player to destroy an opposing general or baggage element, or to ‘break’ the opposing army. Note that in this context, the term ‘break’ refers to a player defeating the opposing army while his own remains undefeated. No player will be awarded more than one such prize.


TOURNAMENT SPECIFIC RULES
The following tournament specific rules will also be in force:

Weather and Time of Day: These rules will not be played.

Terrain Removal and/or Adjustment: Instead of placing a single one FE feature, after all terrain has been placed, the invader may instead attempt to remove or adjust up to two previously placed features. He rolls one D6, with the following results:

1: No effect
2: Pivot one area feature up to 90 degrees
3: Move one area feature up to 4 base widths
4: Move one area feature up to 6 base widths or pivot one area feature up to 90 degrees
5: Remove one area feature
6: Remove one area feature and pivot another up to 90 degrees

Moved features are not subject to separation restrictions but must obey superimposition rules.

Further explanation of the Terrain Rule
The standard DBMM rules allows an invader to place up two FE worth of terrain features. The trial rule gives the invader the option to forgo the placement of a single such, one-FE feature, in return for the opportunity to adjust and/or remove up to (depending on his die roll) two previously placed terrain FEs.

An invader taking this option is:
Considered to have used up one FE of his standard two-FE terrain placement entitlement. Therefore, if the invader takes this option, the defender is not entitled to place further terrain (in addition to his own standard four ME entitlement).
Is still entitled to place one FE worth of terrain as per the standard rules. Should an invader opt to use the trial rule, but not to use the remainder of his normal entitlement, then the defender is entitled to place further terrain as normal.
To ‘pivot’ a previously placed terrain feature, fix any point on the edge of the terrain piece and rotate the piece around this point. A feature is not pivoted on a centre point.

That’s it! I look forward to hearing from you in due course. In the meantime time, have fun pondering your army choice.

Best regards
Jan

Ich war bislang einmal da. Das Turnier ist super, Location auch.
Nur Übernachtungen in Dublin sind teuer im Vergleich zu Deutschland.
