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:  

Three months into the beginning of the "V3" era, the BHGS FoGAM rankings have been updated to include results from (nearly) all events held in the last 12 months, from Schiltron 2017 up until the Burton Doubles & Venta Belgarum events held at the end of February. 

Not too many changes at the top, however author Terry Shaw is one of the people to clamber gracefully into the top 10 in this latest iteration !

​

Roll Call is now bursting at the seams, with 151 players being squeezed into the venue, and just one place remaining open in V3 FoGAM.

The current list of registered players is online on the BHGS website 

The BHGS FoGR rankings have been updated to include the results from the recent "Badcon" Burton Doubles in which 27 FoGR players and 14 teams took part, making FoGR the second most popular theme at this longstanding event. 

See the BHGS Calendar and the Slitherine FoGR forum for further upcoming FoGR events 

With three events already staged so far this year, the UK L'Art de la Guerre rankings have been updated to include all 27 events held in the UK in the last 12 months, up to and including Burton Doubles 2018.

159 players are currently listed in the ADLG rankings, and we start the new year with a new leader of the pack in the shape of Hubert Bretagne!

Britcon this year will for the first time be hosting a 1-day Test of Honour competition on Sunday August 12th, and tickets are now on sale 

Test of Honour is a skirmish wargame from Warlord Games played with roughly 5-20 models on each side. Players select their force before each game based around a samurai hero along with one or two loyal samurai companions and a variety of clan soldiers.

Warlord Games will also be at the Britcon Trade show again this year.

The complete set of amendments necessary to upgrade Field of Glory Renaissance to the latest version have now been added to the BHGS website, together with an Excel list creator spreadsheet  using the new points values and troop types. 

No doubt this will be good news for many, but may not prove to be quite as much of interest to any rules Puritans  out there ... !

Godendag was held again at Firestorm Games in Cardiff on the weekend of 20/21 January, and the results are now posted on the BHGS website.

​Overall 82 players took part this year in not-so-sunny South Wales's finest gaming venue.

Doubles events were staged for DBM, L'Art de la Guerre and FoG AM V3.0 (this was the first ever FoG AM V3.0 event, and straight out of the box it attracted the second largest number of players of any competitions held over the weekend!) with singles events also running for FoG Renaissance and MeG.

Congratulations to all of our winners!
