2006 Washington, DC
DBA Open Tournament

The 2d annual "Wars of Washington, DC" DBA tournament was held on 17 Sept. 2005 as part of TriadCon at the University of Maryland in College Park.  The four round open tournament was fought in 15mm scale on 30" square boards. We drew 16 players, including two spouses (who both landed victories in their first DBA tournament outings) and a boyfriend/girlfriend team.

David Schlanger and David Kuijt ran neck and neck for top honors, with Schlanger taking the tournament on a "count-back" tie-breaker.

Chris Huhn and Ruth Torres shared honors as the best Tournament Newbies.

In a very close result, Mike Byrne took home the much vaunted Butcher's Prize for most elements killed/lost in the four round tourney.

Play varied from impetuous to deliberate, with seven generals dying in 32 games, and with 6 ties.

Prizes were contributed by Jeff Caruso at Pass o' the North (Gallic army pack), Matt Gilford at Castle Hobbies & Games (Isarus samples and army packs) and by the folks at Wargames, Inc. (gift certificates).

Brian McEachern (R) gives it two thumbs up.



Mike Byrne (L) and Jonathan Miller (R) see how
many groups they can break up into.
