BHGS to Partner with London Grand Tournament and the Saga World Cup in 2019

14th and 15th September 2019, Lee Valley Indoor Athletics Centre, London N9 0AR

We're delighted to be able to announce that the BHGS will be partnering with the organisers of the huge sci-fi and fantasy-themed gaming convention the London GT in 2019 to host a series of team and individual events under the BHGS banner at the LGT in 2019 - including the first ever Saga World Cup
 The London Grand Tournament, LGT Presents or simply The LGT is a tabletop wargaming convention that is centred around organised play.  Originally conceived in a pub late one cold winter night, the LGT has grown from a Warhammer 40k GT to a multi-system wargamming convention, including additional events across all aspects of the wargamming hobby, including Grand Tournaments and Narrative Campaigns.

The BHGS are now 'piggy-backing' on the London GT to take advantage of this great venue and will be hosting a number of different competitions running over the weekend (see links below for Tournament Entry details), adding a southern 'London' leg to our current roster of competitions across the country including Manchester, Birmingham and Milton Keynes. 

Events planned include:
All of the events are now bookable via the London GT website - which also has copies of the tournament packs as well  - so mark your diaries for the 14th and 15th of September 2019 !

You can get in touch with the BHGS team via the BHGS website or by email to info@bhgs.org.uk . 
This year we are running the first Official Saga World Cup Competition at the BHGS Historical Teams.

National Organisers are invited to get in touch with Andy at Ainsty Castings for details and to confirm an interest to take part in this Tournament. The suggestion is that each country communicate internally to  decide their team members through qualifying local events to put forward  a 4 person team (potentially to be selected through qualifying events).
  • Each team will consist of 4 players.
  • 2 players per team will play different Viking Age Warbands and will play against Viking Age Warbands
  • 2 players per team will play different Age of Crusades Warbands and will play against Age of Crusades Warbands.
  • 6 games played over two days. Each game you play will be against a different player from a different Country.
  • Points for each game per player will go into the team score.
  • Overall team score will determine winning team.
  • Winning Nation will have the option to host the following years event.

Andy will then send out detailed packs to the the relevant organisers at a later date.  There is a discussion thread on the Saga Forum and now a Facebook Group for this event

​The London GT will also feature Warhammer 40k, Warmaster, Star Wars Legion, Blood Bowl, Middle Earth SBG, Age of Sigmar, Horus Heresy and many more.
