Congratulations to Peter Stone for winning Caesar's Challenge this year. Despite having come close in previous events, this was Peter's first tournament win. Running a close second and third were the Watson brothers, Charles and Marcus. This year's tournament saw a record forty players enter making it the largest DBM tournament held so far in Victoria. Six players were competiting in a tournament for the first time, and numerous new armies making their tournament debut.
 The Altona Meadows Community Centre is the annual venue for the Caesar's Challenge tournament run by the WSGA. A total of 40 players were comfortably accommodated on 21 tables with preset terrain. |

Players who deserve a special mention; Damien Pooley (6th), Ian Sharp (7th), Daniel Jackson (8th) and Jason Macaulay (9th), all of whom are relatively new to the tournament circuit. All finished in the top ten, having defeated more experienced opponents in the process and gaining Championship points for the state rankings. Congratulations! We were also pleased to have three interstate guests attend this year; Brad Del Munns (Cancon 2000 ACC winner), Darryl Hills and Jason Williams (all from NSW.) They didn't fair too well so I hope they enjoyed themselves anyway (I know Brad was still in "relax" mode from Cancon.)
On behalf all the players, I'd like to thank Brian Hall, Wayne Eaton and WSGA minions for running this event. Since "Napoleons" ceased to support and run this event it has fallen back onto these guys to keep it going, despite not having an active interest in DBM.
  Andrew Jackson; winner of the "Best Presented Army" award for his Nikephorian Byzantines (right). The judge was Wayne Eaton and the award was given to Andrew on the basis that; (a) it was his first army, (b) painting was of a high standard, & (c) it was uniformly based and equipped with appropriate baggage. |
 John Metcalf; Winner of the Encouragement award for his persistence. John won his first tournament game having played now in three competitions. |
Thanks to Steve Jackson for the loan of his digital camera over the weekend.
