BHGS Challenge 2-3 April 2010 - Ascot, UK

by pbrandon
There will be 15mm and 25mm FOG competitions at 800 and 650 points, respectively, any book.
**This is the Friday and Saturday of the long Easter weekend in 2010.** We realise that the Easter weekend will not be great scheduling for some, but this year we basically had no choice for reasons beyond our control. We are hoping that holding it on the Friday and Saturday will enable some to come who wouldn't be able to make Saturday/Sunday over Easter.
For those planning on playing at the IWC in Athens in 2010, The Challenge is the weekend beforehand. A chance to finely hone those battlefield skills.
Further details can be found on the BHGS web-site at

If you have any queries, please feel free to PM me.

Hi Paul
I've been thinking of this for a short while and as my total number of army list books continue to grow realise I don't want to be lugging them all to open competitions.
Would it be possible for all competitors to bring their own army list book and for both sides to exchange them briefly at the start of each game to get a rough idea of what we might be facing each game.
Rob
P.S. Can you put me down for a Lost Scrolls book please.

In my experience this is exactly what people already do

I assume the BHGS website that has a timetable for Saturday/Sunday is a hold over from next year and it should be Friday/Saturday.

Don't worry Dave I don't need yours !!
I will guess it has Superior Armoured Shooty Cavalry and Shooty Light Horse and will spend the game tying itself in knots as it tries to keep away from me !!
But it would be a pleasure beating it as always !!

Tut tut Rob I don't use Shooty Cavalry Just Lancers and loads of proper Light Horse

Got to keep out the way of those dammed fast Romans of yours.

Not long till it all starts again for this year, Yorks only a few weeks away. Not taking your Germans to the Challange then?

Oh yes those dastardly Teutonics.
After their lacklustre display last year they have been consigned to a drawer and have not been out since.

At least they weren't cataphracts! ....
After a period under water, I am looking forward to seeing everyone at the challenge. Finally managed a game this week after 3 months off. It showed!!
Are many people gathering on the Thursday for games? I am taking the day off to get in the mood.
