I am happy to announce that details of the FOG R competition Not Godendag are now been published on the Battlefield Hobbies website.
Not-Godendag 2024

Telephone: - 01327 702001
Competition Format : -
1. Games will be 3 hours 20 mins long (plus a 1-10 min(s) variable calculated by the Umpire.
2. 850 points plus the value of their cheapest base cost i.e. if the cheapest points for a base are 5 points then the player can have up to 855 points in their army.
3. Amended rules and points as per the BHGS website.
Theme: - Italian Wars - Early 16th century Europe, Date 1494-1555
Armies Allowed: - Maximillian Imperial, Italian Wars French, Trastamara Spanish, Italian States (one of the following Milan, Florence, Papal, Naples, Genoa, Pisa, Savoy) , Italian Wars Venetian, German States (3 armies), Early Henrician English, Later Henrician English, Scottish, Border Reivers, Irish, Anglo Irish, Caroline Imperialists (Not in Africa)
Competition Rules: -
1. Any heavy artillery used must be the first battlegroup(s) deployed, followed immediately by any medium artillery used.
2. There must be at least 12 bases of heavy infantry in the army
3. No musket armed battle troops of any type.
4. No Swiss troops. If an army list allows Swiss troop either as part of the list or as an ally, then a player will be allowed instead to take equivalent non-Swiss troops e.g. Landsknecht rather than Swiss Kiel.
5. The competition will be seeded in that the lowest ranked player (according to the BHGS rankings) will have first choice of what army to use and once that army has been selected it cannot be chosen by another player. If a player does not have a ranking then club colleagues will advise on the capability of that player. Choice of army will be made after all entries are received.
Lists: - Updated lists for the armies taken into account new points and amendments are available as a word document from Ben Jones (ben@benedictjones.plus.com ). Ben will also be the list checker and should receive at least 2 weeks before the competition.
Time Table and other Information
It is possible to leave figures and terrain at Battlefield Hobbies but obviously this is done at the owners risk. Free and plentiful parking is also outside Battlefield Hobbies.
Time Table for Games –
Registration time on Saturday 9:00am to 9:20am
Games will be:
Saturday: 1st Game 9.30 - 1.00 and 2nd Game 2.00 - 5.30
Sunday: 1st Game 9.00 - 12.30 and 2nd Game 1.30 - 5.00
Umpire
When time is called, play will continue until the end of the current phase regardless of which player’s turn it is. Each player is responsible for completing their own score card. Once completed hand the score card to Bob Medcraft who will be organising the next round draw
Other Information: -
Players must supply their own terrain pieces. These must be to an acceptable standard, and the umpire will have the discretion to remove unsightly items.
Players must be present and ready to start the match at the appointed time. Where a player has a reasonable excuse for arriving late the match start will be delayed by up to 30 minutes. After which time the effected player will be awarded maximum points.
If a player resigns from a game at any stage after the first set up dice have been rolled their opponents will be awarded maximum points, and they will be awarded 0 points.
In the event of a bye for whatever reason the player getting the bye will receive the average of all the winning scores for that round.
Lunch will not be available so all players must make their own arrangements.
Tickets are open and I have purchased mine. Looking forward to a good turnout.
