Pre-Roll Call FoGAM rankings updated

28/3/2017

0 Comments

 
With the 2016-17's "Race to the Big Prize" in he FoGAm Championship now well and truly underway, this edition of the FoGAM rankings sees a spectacular fall from grace for Robert Taylor, dropping from 1st to 10th and being well and truly leapfrogged in the process by the ever-reliable Mr Pete Dalby.

Pete has been a regular visitor to the top of the rankings for many years now - and lets face it, we all wish we carried our years even half as well as he manages to do with his, as this rare colour photo from some years ago clearly demonstrates.

(History fans will also no doubt be delighted to know that the BHGS Archive is gradually being restored to working order. Most recently the full results from every Britcon held since 2006 have now been uploaded onto this site - including the first ever FoGAM event at Britcon 2007 - so, this is your big chance to see just how good Pete was even way back then !)

L'Art de la Guerre UK Rankings updated

20/3/2017

The latest update to the L'Art de la Guerre rankings comes almost 3 months into the new year as the calendar of events has been filling up fast with ADLG  featuring for the first time at PAW and The Northern League as well as the first outing for the Central London Spring Tournament. Sneaking in between these was the Burton Doubles, all of which has resulted in the number of players taking part in at least one ADLG event  in the last 12 months shoot up to an impressive-sounding 113, with more first-timers set to be added to the rankings at Roll Call in a few weeks time.

Dave "proper wargamers name that, Dave, isn't it?" Allen remains top of the pile, although the statisticians among you may notice that this appears to be more down to his ability to enter more events than anyone else in the rankings, rather than anything else...

DBA @ Britcon - theme announced

5/3/2017

0 Comments

 
We're delighted to be hosting a 1-day DBA event again this year at Britcon, and our TO Simon Wilson has just sent across the details of the theme, which we're sure will be very popular: 

The theme is The Teutonic Orders and their enemies – and their enemies’ enemies who were active in 1217.  This creates a diverse web of armies ranging from Korea and China, through the Steppes and Syria to the marshes of the Baltic States and then on to medieval Germany.  It even includes Vikings – what is there not to like!

The basic idea is that you start with the Teutonic Orders army (List IV/30) and then choose one of their listed enemies or follow the trail to choose one of the enemies’ enemies.

Why?  Well, 2017 is the 800th anniversary of the Battle of Otepaa during the Baltic Crusades when the Russians and Estonians defeated the German Crusaders.  It just seemed an opportunity to give the battle some exposure!
