Britcon 2013

Post by madaxeman »

I’m pleased to be able to bring you details of this year’s Britcon event, to be held at our usual venue, UMIST in (always-sunny) Manchester over the Friday-Sunday of 9-11th August 2013.

At Britcon 2013 there will be one FoG Napoleonic period : 15mm Napoleonic 800 points - 72" by 48" tables. It may or many not be restricted to just one of the books- we are just waiting on Terry to decide :roll: but thought it best to announce the event anyway.

Full details are on the BHGS Website, and a link for those of you who want to to just go ahead and book your place is available online here.

We've also listened to your feedback about how unwelcome Britcon's two late night games can sometimes be, and so for 2013 there will be an option to drop Friday or Saturday night's game and just play 5 games in the larger gaming periods. This also means that each of the "traditional" 6-game main periods will now be decided by counting player's best 5 scores over the weekend. You will need to confirm whether you intend to drop a game - or not - at the time of booking.

What Else To Look Out For in 2013?
• New Periods - including a 10+ game "Epic Saga" competition for the runaway success that is the Saga ruleset, as well as the debut's of two further 28mm rulesets, "War and Conquest" (supported by the author, Rob Broom) and WW2 skirmish game "Bolt Action" (supported by Warlord Games - TBC)
• Prices Frozen - we know there is a recession out there, so through careful negotiation with the venue there will be no increase in entry fees in 2013.
• Accommodation still optional - we've also negotiated some great rates at UMIST for a variety of standards of rooms - all still in stumbling distance of the venue and bar as usual.

We've now got 7 players registered in the FoGN competition for Britcon, however getting to our (expected period-capacity) of 8 would be a lot better than having just 7 !

If there is anyone who is considering coming along please hurry up and book :-)

If you need any more information about the event or have any questions which aren't answered on the website www.bhgs.org.uk, feel free to pm me or ask any of the other competitors registered so far

1 We have to hear how his anti-cuirassier tactics worked.
2 Where are the roads? I see very few, and we massively use them, having max roads nearly every game.
