 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!  The latest set of official amendments for the V3 lists for Field of Glory: Ancients and Medieval, as well as an updated set of playing aids have now been uploaded to the BHGS website.
These include:
The end of year global MeG Rankings have now been posted on the BHGS website. After its launch onto the competition scene at the 2016 BHGS Challenge, 2017 saw the first full year of MeG tournaments, during which 65 players took part in 13 ranked events held around the world, with 47 of these players being UK based. At the end of the year, Alasdair Harley was the world's top-ranked MeG player with a maximum-possible ranking score of 85/85 and winning 8 out of the 9 events he entered - much to the relief of the UK FoG:R community ! The MeG Rankings are hosted on the Draco Standard website, where they are updated on a regular basis by Paul Cummins. The 9 ranking events held in the UK included all of the BHGS competitions, including 23 players at Britcon representing the largest MeG field of the year.   The end-of-year FoG:R Rankings have now been published on the BHGS website.
In 2017 there were 13 FoG:R competitions across the UK, attracting 72 players, including 13 with no 2016 ranking. Thirty of these attended more than one event (some of them managing as many as 10!). In all there were 167 entries across all the competitions, making FoGR the 4th most widely played mass-battle ruleset featured in the BHGS roster in 2017. Competition was fierce with the 17 first podium positions (when taking doubles and multi-pool events into consideration) split between 12 different players. Congratulations to Keith Spedding for topping the rankings and Stephen Stead and Simon LeRay-Mayer for taking the other podium places.  The BHGS L'Art de la Guerre rankings have been updated to include results from all 27 events held across the UK in the last 12 months. This includes Warfare, Virtus in Cardiff, The Scottish Open and the CLWC Invitational all of which took place in the last month. The UK ADLG rankings now include 160 players, representing an increase of +60% over the course of 2017. More than 50 different clubs now have representatives in the rankings. 146 of these players also appear in the International ADLG Glicko-type rankings, as an ever-increasing number of UK events are now submitting their results to the international rankings system. Entrants to UK events now make up around 15% of the 957 currently active players worldwide listed in the L'Art de la Guerre International Ranking system. (Main photo from Virtus in Cardiff, December 2017) We've now kindly been supplied the results for a number of the historical periods played at Warfare this year, meaning that the 121 players of DBMM, L'Art de la Guerre, FoGAM, FoGR and MeG who took part can now find out their final standings on the BHGS website.  With only a couple of weeks to go before the "Knights in Shining Armour"-themed event at Warfare 2017, the almost-year-end FoGAM rankings have been released. From the beginning of next year many of the events in the FoG calendar will start to morph into V3.0 competitions - the rankings will however continue uninterrupted irrespective of version played at each individual event. Whether that will mean someone new usurps Dave Ruddock at the top of the pile is anyone's guess .. but probably many more people's fervent hope.  |
