Roll Call - 2018 Results

Roll Call 2018 took place over the weekend of 7-8 April at our usual venue in Cranfield. 

Notable for the introduction of Sharp Practice 28mm Napoleonic skirmish rules (and it's fabulous scenery) to the BHGS circuit, the 2018 event was a sellout with 150 players taking part across the weekend. 

The results we have are published below, together with some photos from around the event (unashamedly including a LOT of Sharp Practice!)

L'Art de la Guerre 15mm

The largest period this year, attracting players from France, Spain, Switzerland & Norway as well as the UK to a 15mm theme of Armies valid in 202 BC (The Battle of Zama). Congratulations to Richard Case for winning with 5 wins out of 5, including a round 4 victory over pre-tournament favourite Rafa Tortosa from Spain.
