BHGS Challenge - The Results!

Last weekend almost 100 historical gamers took part in the 2018 BHGS Challenge alongside UK Games Expo at the NEC, Birmingham. 

This year's BHGS Challenge also hosted "The Worlds" for a number of our Ancients rulesets, drawing in players from France, Ireland, Scotland, The USA, Spain (and almost Italy & Greece too, had real life not intervened at the last minute!)

The full results for L'Art de la Guerre, DBMM, FoGAM V3, MeG and Bolt Action are now posted on the BHGS website for you to peruse, along with a smattering of photos from the games in action - see if you can spot your army on our website!

Next up will be our biggest event, Britcon in Manchester over the weekend of 10-12 August and then the BHGS Ancients Doubles at Battlefield Hobbies in September.  Both are now open for bookings, so make sure to reserve your place now!

The UK ADLG rankings have been updated to include the results from recent events, including Campaign, BIG in Bristol, Northern League and a number of other competitions across the UK - and we have a new (but familiar to some of you no doubt) name at the top of the leaderboard going into next week's BHGS Challenge! 

The past 12 months has seen 162 players take part in 29 different ADLG events in the UK, with 11 events held so far this year. 

A "blended" ranking score has been used for players at the 2018 Campaign and 2017 Derby team events, giving equal weighting to each players team and individual placings.

The rapidly-growing-in-popularity Sharp Practice will make it;s first appearance at Britcon this August, and we are pleased to announce that the rules pack has now been published. 

Currently we are planning on hosting 10 tables for a field of 20 players, although this may be expanded if additional terrain is offered - but places are filling up with 14 registered players already, so make sure you book in early if you want to take part ! 

Last weekend over 150 players took part in this year's Roll Call, making it one of our biggest events in recent years - and we've pleased to report that we've already published all of the results from all 9 different historical gaming periods on the BHGS website, along with loads of pictures of the games (and terrain) - including these amazing "demo game standard" layouts from our first ever Sharp Practice event!

Coming up next we have plenty more competitions for you, starting with the BHGS Challenge which runs as part of the UK's biggest gaming event UK Games Expo at the NEC in June, and our own flagship 3-day Britcon event in Manchester in August.

Full details of the competitions on offer at both events can now be found on our website along with links to book online. 

With less than a week to go until Roll Call 2018 the next event on the calendar is the BHGS Challenge, which this year will again be held in Birmingham alongside UK Games Expo at the NEC over the weekend of 2nd & 3rd June.

This gives us a great opportunity to use the event to promote tabletop wargaming to a massive audience of potential new recruits, drawn from the 12,500+ boardgamers and wargamers attending UKGE 

For a number of our rulesets which are widely played internationally, the 2018 BHGS Challenge will also be the host for the 2018 International Challenge - essentially making these competitions the "World Championship" for the rulesets involved this year.

So, if you want to take part in a truly international event, make sure to add signing up to the BHGS Challenge to your DIY to-do list this Easter Weekend ! 

​The current list of players signed up as of today is as follows:
