Blood & Plunder at Britcon
In 2024 The BHGS are delighted to welcome Firelock Games' Blood & Plunder to the roster of events being staged at Britcon, Nottingham's own wargames convention.
This will see a 2-day historical tournament set in the golden age of piracy take place in Robin Hood's hometown!
Open to players of all abilities, from the greenest landlubber to the saltiest seadog. Bloodthirsty pirates, desperate militiamen, and fierce natives will fight for control of the Caribbean, waging deadly battles in jungles, towns and on the high seas!

Your Tournament's Pirate Captain for the weekend is the "feared and respected (in equal measure) all across the Spanish Main" Bob Emmerson, so any tournament-specific questions should be directed to him at [email protected]
