Men of iron

On 11th december 2011 the tournament "Men of iron" will be held in Milan, in Games Academy hall, via Valparaiso 2, at 9.30.

The theme will be about the rise to dominance of western knights in feudal Europe, from the battle of Hastings in 1066, where Norman caballarii smashed the Saxon shieldwall, until the great defeat suffered by a feudal army from infantry in 1302 at Courtrai.

The players will use a western feudal army or one of their enemies.

The tournament will be over three games, of 150 minutes each.

The rules used will be the DBMM 2.0 version, using 350AP, with no weather and time of the day, because of the limited time the battles will last.
