Giving in to the Dark Side ....

It's decided. I'm going to try to play some games of DBA and enter a couple of competitions.

The first one will probably be PAWS in December, although this is a themed competition and it's limited to the armies of the Americas and Polynesia.

Aztecs, Tupi, Mayans, Hawaiians etc. I've never even looked at these as armies before, and now I have to get an army and a camp together.

Saxons and Normans - 2010

Last weekend was my final re-enactment event for this year. Every October we get to re-enact the battle of Hastings on the site of the original event in 1066.

This year I only went down for the day, but there were still about 500 warriors on the field plus about a dozen cavalry. The Living History area was huge with over 160 structures and that means there were probably another 200 non combatants as well.

Now we all go into hibernation for the winter.
