Glory or Dishonour 2011
 

March 12 and 13 of 2011

March 2011 saw the third edition of Glory or Dishonour. Our annual WAB event is growing every year with contestants from England, Belgium, Germany, France and the Netherlands. As with previous years we had two tournaments run simultaneously. One concentrating on the Ancient period and the other on the Dark Ages. We had 26 people from the UK, Germany, France and the Netherlands attending.

4500 pts three generals battle

As with previous years we had two tournaments run simultaneously. One concentrating on the Ancient period and the other on the Dark Ages.

Both tournaments consisted of four games. In the end the highest scoring player would be declared victor in his or her tournament.

Alex, from Comitatus Figurines, had brought along his store to sell us even more nice miniatures.

Jasper, Christie and Guy from Ancient Warfare, Medieval Warfare and Wargames, Soldier and Strategy magazines, were kind enough to bring their booth and show us new issues of their magazines and sell discounted issues/subscriptions.

Every player recieved this limited (only 60 pieces exist!) Frisian warrior model

Upon arriving in the venue contestants gained a bag full of goodies.  Jasper was kind enough to provide us with back issues from WSS and Ancient Warfare magazines. On top of that we had Bill Thornhill from Musketeer Miniatures sculpt us a Frisian warlord of which only 60 have been made! We also gave everybody a participation certificate to prove they entered the tournament. Everybody felt a winner already!

One of the 5 battles played

During the course of two days many hard fought battles led up to inevitable prizegiving. 

. All battles had been fought in the true spirit of wargaming namely, FUN!

A big thank you to all attending and making it possible for us to hold this event! A special welcome to our sponsors and friends from Gripping Beast, Comitatus figures and Ancient Warfare magazine!

We rented a real cloister for our participants to rest in. In the evening we had a very lovely dinner and a few glasses of water… all of which was accompanied by good friends and tall stories.

Lunch was served on both days by our wonderful wives, thank you very, very much for helping us out!
