A few weeks ago we held Dortsche Krijgsheren. You can find all tournament information here. This blog post looks back at the tournament and shows pictures!
We were joined by a number of Austrian friends. Glad to have you there!

The Tournament
The tournament on thursday was a massive hit. We had 18 participants. Other than the traditional 3-game 1,995 point battles, we had a team challenge.
Each player was a member of one of three teams. Everyone brought three miniatures, after winning a battle one could move one of his minis up the mountain. Layers were a different amount of points, the higher layers more than the lower.
At the end of the tournament, the team with the highest amount of points won. It was a great mini-game that fostered inter-team cooperation.
The results
Nothing new there. Theo won again, as he does every year.
My battles
My army is featured here:
I played three games against three Austrian opponents. I managed to win against Samuel, but lost to Florian’s and Martin’s Trident reams armies. Of course, I could blame the fact that my army is bothered a lot by ensnare, but both guys ran their armies smoothly, executed their battle plans well and punished my weaknesses. Well done.
The battle against Samuel was a mirror-match in which my hordes of berserkers did slightly better than his regiments of horsemen. It was a hugely fun battle which was closer than you would think based on the results.
The venue and support
-Thanks my friend Aad for running the bar for us! It helped enormously to have that one off my hands.
-The Venue was the Energiehuis in Dordrecht. As it’s a public holiday, the venue was closed and we had all building for ourselves. The location is great and has parking. Thanks Tobe for having us there.
Pictures!
No tournament without pictures!
Day 2
In day 2 we played both Ambush (below my 10-man ogre army vs Florian’s trident realms) and Armada.
Finally, I managed to play a game against Martin’s Trident realms in “capture the king”. (see the battle pack) As you can see below, my monarch (A Basilean Dictator) got demolished between a frog captain and a massive kraken! Ouch!
The 2nd day was just a number of fun games against people who live too far away to do this every week and this was exactly what it’s meant to be! Good times!
