Pix from first day of Two-Day-Match

Pix from the first day of the Wairarapa Two-Day-Match, Saturday November 14. The second day is Saturday November 28. The tables in the hall are larger than the standard 8'x 6' we usually play on. Players are welcome to use the full width or measure off 8'.

The day begins with the hall being set up.

There are, of course, armies. Here is a selection.

Kelly Gay, Palmeston North, Macedonians - Asiatic Early Successor

Peter Noble, Lower Hutt, Post-Mongol Samurai

Phil Gates, Greytown, Later Carthaginian

Doug Smith, Wainuiomata, Pre-Feudal Scots

Drew Fortune, Upper Hutt, Ottoman Turks

John van den Hoeven, Upper Hutt, Hittite allies for his Trojans

Some of the games in progress

Andrew (Early Achaemendi Persians) vs Peter (Post-Mongol Samurai)

Drew (Ottoman Turks) vs John (Trojans)

Paul Graham (Parthians) vs Mike (Huns). I first met Paul on 1979 when I rocked up to the Wellington Warlords wargaming club. He was the president and took me under his wing. So it's his fault!

Trophies: the one we play for and those on the walls of the hall.

The Horse Head Trophy, won last year by Peer Noble (Ptolemaic)
