The Wargames Association of Reading have kindly supplied us with results from a number of historical periods at this year's Warfare event, which are now published on the BHGS website.

Results for ADLG (15mm & 25mm), DBMM (15mm & 25/6mm), and 15mm FoGAM, MeG, and FoGR are now all available to view online.

With the results from Warfare already trickling out onto forums and the like, FoGR is first out of the blocks to publish updated UK rankings including the Warfare results. 

(The full list of results from most of the historical periods at Warfare will be published on the BHGS site shortly)

With some fairly sizeable competitions taking place since the last rankings update just after Britcon, the BHGS FoGAM rankings have now been updated to show the standings going into Warfare, the last AM event of the calendar year.

Paul Bartlett remains on top by the narrowest of margins, with rules author Terry Shaw breathing down his neck only a couple of points behind.

So, what that means is that it's still all to play for, and the results from Warfare will determine whether Paul or Terry ends up winning the race to be the UK FoGAM "Maria Carey" and claim this year's Christmas No.1 slot in the FoGAM rankings ! 

The UK ADLG Rankings have been updated to include all of the competitions staged since Britcon 2018, with a new leader taking over at the top of the pile of 182 UK competition entrants over the last 12 months.

For the first time the UK ADLG rankings feature a revised weighting system in which competitions are grouped into 4 bands, with the bigger events in the year (size being measured by a simple calculation of "players x rounds") being worth more ranking points.

Winning a "top-tier" event is now worth 100 ranking points, with the other placings at that event earning points on a pro-rata basis for each placing from 1st to last. Winning the smallest category of event is now worth 70 points (this was 55 in rankings published prior to August 2018), reducing the differential in ranking points between big and small events compared to prior years.

Each player's best 6 scores over the previous 12 months count towards their current ranking.

The dust of the campaigning season is now gently settling over Daventry following the epic battles of the 2018 BHGS Ancients Doubles held at Battlefield Hobbies.

30 teams took part in total, in an event which was "Roman" themed - but did the Romans hold onto their Empire in the end?

​Find out for yourself as the results from all 4 of our rulesets and themes are now posted online 

There will be one brand new ruleset, and another familiar ruleset making a welcome return to Roll Call in 2019 as we can now confirm that the 2019 event will be hosting both To The Strongest! and Saga next April in Cranfield.

The To The Strongest! event will be the first time a BHGS event has made it onto the UK competition calendar for Simon Miller's popular ancients set, and we're delighted that Simon himself will be umpiring and running a 1-day 28mm TTS! event for us on Saturday 27th April

Mark Birch (the cunningly named MarkB on the Saga forum) will also be helming a V2 Saga event on Sunday 28th, meaning that pretty much half of the events at Roll Call 2019 will feature "28mm" figures ! 

Both events are open for bookings on the BHGS website Roll Call pages

With Britcon now just a distant memory, Rankingsmesiter Dave Ruddock has grudgingly coughed up the 2017-18 "year end" FoGAM rankings to share with an eager world.

These rankings include all events from just after Britcon last year up until this year's event (with the exception of Derby 2017, where results were not published).

Congratulations to Paul Bartlett for topping the pile at the end of this, the first ranking year to include V3.0 competitions! 

The UK ADLG year ends at Britcon, and this year the results of the Britcon competition itself made all the difference at the top of the leaderboard as Mike Bennett was crowned UK annual rankings champion, squeaking past Hubert Bretagne by a mere 5 points, 486 to 481! 

The full rankings feature 183 players, all of whom entered at least one of the 31 separate ADLG events which took place in the UK in the last 12 months. 

The UK-specific version of the international ADLG rankings are calculated on a different (ELO) basis, and can be accessed on the ADLG website 

The BHGS site now has all of the results we have been sent from the various umpires and tourney teams - so you can see where you and your clubmates ended up in your event 

 We posted loads of photos of the event on our Facebook Page throughout the weekend, and we've now also consolidated them all onto a single page on our website too so you may be able to find a few shots of your own army on there - or maybe yourself picking up a trophy - if you look carefully!

Looking at the various forums and facebook pages for the gaming systems which were represented it appears that pretty much everyone enjoyed the weekend, both gamers and traders, which is fantastic. Even the Mancunian drizzle wasn't too bad - and let's face it, if the long spell of hot weather hadn't broken just before Britcon it would have been a lot worse ..

Next up for the BHGS is the Ancients Doubles on the weekend of 22/23 September, with events for L'Art de la Guerre, FoGAM, Mortem & Gloriam and DBMM at Battlefield Hobbies in Daventry. 

Next year Roll Call will return to Cranfield over the weekend of 27th & 28th April (we should have the website set up to take bookings in the next few weeks) and also The BHGS Challenge will again be back at UK Games Expo at the NEC on the weekend of 31st May-2nd June.
