Unfortunately we have taken the difficult decision to cancel this year's X-Wing tournament at Britcon (Manchester, 8-10th August)

We had a lot of interest on forums and the UK X-Wing Facebook group, and we did lots of advertising - some of you may even have seen some of the "paid for" Facebook adverts we tried the first time just for this event - however we are still a few players short of the minimum number required to make a 3-day event viable. 

With some players needing to plan travel and book accommodation, we therefore felt it would be better to pull the event at this point in time rather than hanging on to the last minute, or to continue with our current level of entries and risk ending up with a tournament in which everyone ended up playing the same players multiple times over the course of the weekend. 

We put in a huge amount of effort to promote the event and so this is of course a real disappointment for us as well as for the players who had signed up, and in the long term we do hope to reintroduce X-Wing at future events. 

We've offered all of the players who had entered a full refund, a transfer to one of our other gaming periods on offer at Britcon 2014 or to carry their entry fees forwards to another BHGS event in the future.  

We do still have table space allocated for the event, so if anyone local is thinking of visiting the Britcon Trade Show we could still accommodate some space for "free" pickup X-Wing games for trade show visitors - maybe some of the players from local clubs might want to take advantage of this offer and arrange  games?

The latest FoGR Rankings have been published and updated.

With no change at the top again this month, the only interest here comes from spotting that Central London Wargames Club now make up the single largest grouping of players in the "top 10", closely followed by the slightly smaller grouping - "people called Don". 

Cool terrain is a big part of the appeal of Flames of War and Bolt Action, and the BHGS have always been committed to providing high quality and interesting terrain layouts on all of our FoW tables at Britcon (and we are for BA too). 

Unfortunately the Sneaky Gitz Club are no longer playing FoW, so their terrain from a few years ago is no longer available however we recognise that many players will have invested a great deal of time and effort in developing their own terrain and even entire "model-railway-quality" battle-boards and would love the opportunity to share their handiwork with a wider audience. To accommodate this at Britcon 2013 we will be inviting players (and clubs) to provide one or more table's-worth of terrain to be used in the competition. 

If you are entering the Britcon FoW or Bolt Action Tournaments and are able to provide a "table of terrain" we would therefore love to accommodate you - and we are prepared to put our money where our mouths are as well: 

Players who are able to provide a table-full of terrain (or even better, a terrain table!) will be offered a special discounted entry rate in the form of a cash-equivalent voucher to spend with our Traders at the Britcon Trade Show. 

Clubs who have several members entering the competitions can also club together (see what we did there?) and submit a table-full of terrain to qualify for their own Trader Voucher. 

If you are the proud owner of a really, really cool pre-made table that you'd like to bring along and show off, but it's a bit difficult to fit in the back of your sisters Mini Metro please get in touch and we can discuss subsidising your petrol/travel costs as well 

We will also be running a "Best Terrain" competition across the Flames of War and Bolt Action Tournaments, in which all the players at Britcon will get the chance to vote on the Best Table in Show - and the winner will get a hefty prize, as well as the love and gratitude of all their fellow players !

Obviously we can only accept one table for every two players, so not everyone will be able to enter - if we have more entries than we have tables, entries will be accepted at the sole discretion of the BHGS. Please contact us with some pictures of your terrain or terrain board and we can look to pencil you in. 

Full details are on the Bolt Action and FoW Britcon pages
