BHGS Challenge 2023

The 2023 BHGS Challenge took place at a fabulously busy UK Games Expo at the start of June 2023

This year we expanded players numbers in both Ancients sets being played, with DBMM in 15mm and a 28mm ADLG event both running over 2 days, plus aa 1-day Epic tournament on the Saturday. 

The DBMM competition was played for the inaugural BHGS Keith Nathan Memorial Challenge Shield, awarded in memory of this beloved stalwart of the DBMM circuit who sadly passed away earlier in the year.  

Various other historical figures games were also being played near us in the hall, with a decent sized Bolt Ation tournament the most viable. 

The results are below:
