15mm DBM Results

Prior to this championship there was much speculation about the effect of the "two-list" format on player army selection. A swing back to the book 2 armies (44%) was evident, book 3 and 4 remained similar on 23% and 24% while the number of book 1 armies dropped to the lowest yet, 9%. Most popular army remained the same; Patrician Romans (4) followed by Early Samurai (3), Later Hungarian (3) and Ottoman Turks (3). The level of draws hit a conservative 31% which although high is not unusual for previous Cancons with similar size (375-400AP) armies.
