Warfare 2025

[grahambriggs]

Warfare 2025 will be held at the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre on 15th/16th November 2025

Tickets available from the Warfare website here: https://wargamesreading.co.uk/product/w ... -of-glory/

This is a two-day event with 2 games per day, using the most recent version of the rules (Terry tells me a new version will be published in August so we'll use that).

If you are able to bring a gaming mat that would be appreciated.

You don’t need to bring dice for the weekend – Steve Murton is providing

In terms of umpires there are enough people there who know the rules – just ask someone vaguely competent.
Saturday
Check-in: 8.30 am to 9.15 am
Round 1: 9.30 am to 12.45 pm
Lunch: 12.45 pm to 1.45 pm
Round 2: 1.45 pm to 5.00 pm

Sunday
Round 3: 9.00 am to 12.15 pm (n.b. earlier start-time than Saturday). I hope to have a special prize voucher to give out at Sunday lunchtime which will need to be spent at the trade stands that day
Lunch: 12.15 pm to 1.15 pm
Round 4: 1.15 pm to 4.30 pm

You are welcome to start early if your opponent agrees. I’ll call “end of phase” at precisely the end time of the game.

This will be an open competition, any army from any of the three online army books. Tables will be 6 foot by 4 foot or thereabouts.
This is a handicap competition, to level the playing field for less experienced players. Players will be allowed 750, 800 or 850 points depending upon level of experience and position in the rankings. I'll use the post Britcon rankings to allocate players to points levels.

Folks some final bits about Warfare:

First, could you please bring your cloths with you, if you have one.

Round 4: 1.15 pm to 4.30 pm

You are welcome to start early if your opponent agrees. I’ll call “end of phase” at precisely the end time of the game.

You can enter the venue (Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre) from 8am both days. On Saturday enter via the West Entrance on the side of the building and check in for our competition at the front desk. On Sunday use the main entrance (which is I think the one on the corner of the building that we used last year).

The entrance to the site is via Gate A. The postcode is GU14 6XE or What 3 Words – ///oldest.scans.dozed. Let’s hope we don’t have Bollard fun this year!
