Diceni 2026

 Diceni was a fun day as usual, though our stay was a bit shorter than usual this time.

There were some great displays and participation games:

Silver Bayonet - Napoleonic horror.

WWII commando raid on German installation?

40K Tyranids invading Space Marines.

Tower guns charging... (controlled via phone app)

Guns firing.

We had a chance to join in a game of gladiatorial combat.  Number 2 son took control of Leonius the Beast, a lion-headed warrior (like Laval the Lion from Chima!).  Combat was fairly simple, coloured D12 were drawn from a bag to determine turn order.  Move up to your move score in inches.  Opposed combat rolls on 2D12 + dexterity.  Highest score rolls D6+ strength for damage, armour reduces this.
