Over the weekend of 14/15th September more than 150 players from around the world took part in our first ever London Teams event, hosted alongside the London GT (a mostly 40k) competition at the Leigh Valley Sports Centre

Competitions for ADLG, DBMM, MeG, FoGAM, To The Strongest! and also the Saga World Cup were staged across the weekend, and all of the results we have are now posted here along with some photos from the event.

General feedback from the event was very positive and so we will be looking to renew this new partnership with the LGT organisers to bring even more historical events to the venue next year​.

More entries are of course welcome, however to aid organisation of the overall event we are likely to close entries for those periods where there are currently even numbers of teams/players in the near future.

As part of the headlong rush to publish pre-Britcon rankings the FoGAM elves have also been busily tapping away to analyse the results from all 50 players to take part in the 16 UK events held in the previous 12 months. 

It also all still looks pretty tight at the top for FoGAM with an spectacular Briggs-Bartlett struggle for supremacy going into the final round. 

Full results can be seen here on the BHGS website
​ 

As the UK ADLG rankings year rolls to a close at Britcon 2019, there has been an update to the rankings covering all 198 players and all 34 events they have taken part in over the preceding 12 months right across the UK.  

Whilst even the most Sky-Sports-Transfer-deadline-day-esque attempt to hype things up is unlikely to convince anyone that the race for the top spot this year will be impacted by Britcon's results, the rest of the top 5 is very much in play with a 4-way fight between club members from Lancaster, CLWC, Durham and Halifax all in the frame

The full rankings can be found here on the BHGS website 

The current roster of 179 players signed up across the round-dozen periods being contested at this year's Britcon has now been updated as of 25/7/2019.

With still a couple of weeks to go that means we're only one player short of last year's ("modern era" record) total ! 

We also have uneven numbers currently in Epic, Kings of War, ADLG 15mm, MeG and Saga, and so whilst we do have umpire-shaped solutions for most of these, if you did fancy playing any of these systems your presence would be most welcome! 

Going into the summer highlight of the competition held in the historic market town of Devizes, close to the site of the Battle of Roundway Down the BHGS FoGR Rankings have again been updated. ​

After a busy and gaming-packed weekend at the NEC we're pleased to present the results from this year's BHGS Challenge held at UK Games Expo.  We've also published a whole gallery-full of photos and videos from the event, so you may well be able to see your own (or someone from your club's) army as well if you look carefully!

As well as the 6 competitions being staged, this year the BHGS tables were ideally positioned next to the cafe and bar in the main "free play" gaming area in Hall 2 meaning we saw a lot of interested UKGE punters wandering around our tables and asking players about historical wargaming - so we may well have drummed up a few new members from the wider gaming community as a result of this years event, which is great news all round. 

Next up is Britcon in Manchester from 9-11 August.  We've already got almost 130 players signed up to play in our 12 different events, so at the current rate we are set for the biggest and busiest Britcon in recent memory, so make sure to book your ticket now just in case we reach venue capacity this time around and have to set up a wait list.  For a full list of what is on offer at this years competition visit our website

We also heard a lot of positive buzz from players this weekend at The Challenge who are forming teams for the BHGS Historical Teams being held at the London GT this September 14/15 in London. Full details are again on our website,  with FoG A/M (team), L'Art de La Guerre (team), Mortem et Gloriam (team), DBMM (team), Bolt Action (singles) and To The Strongest! (singles) all being played as well as the Inaugural Saga World Championships (for National Teams).  It promises to be a great event so make sure you are a part of it and check out the entry criteria and tournament packs on our site.

With Campaign in Milton Keynes and a couple of one-day events also taking place the BHGS FoGR rankings have been again updated.

It certainly looks close at the top going into the summer season, with more Oxford events and the annual pilgrimage to Devizes all coming up next on the calendar - so gee up your horses and get ready to join in the race for the title ! 

For the first time this year an update to the UK ADLG rankings has been released, covering all 34 events held in the previous 12 months up to and including this weekend's Campaign in Milton Keynes.

The ADLG rankings currently include 187 players, with 42 players have entered 6 or more events to record a "full" ranking score. Whilst the rankings can of course feature only one leader, an impressive 26 different players have clambered atop at least one podium to hoist aloft a winners trophy at either a singles or doubles event in the last year as well.

Going into The BHGS Challenge and Britcon it's now turning into a real scrum at the top of the table, with a sizeable Northern contingent from Scotland, Lancaster, Durham and Halifax fast closing in from all sides on the (partially francophone) Central London club's grip on the top places.

​The pressure is well and truly on!

With the annual pilgramage to "that place quite close to Milton Keynes" now almost upon us the FoGAM rankings have been updated on the BHGS website to include all competitions in the preceeding 12 months prior to this year's Roll Call.

The historical rivalry between all three points of the UK FoG compass (plus that bit in the middle somewhere) continues, with players from Manchester, Plymouth, Reigate, Portmouth and Oxford contesting the top slots in the 50+ strong UK FoGAM comprtition pool.
