Roll Call 2014 - The BHGS Big Boys Toys Event

[madaxeman]

Roll Call 2014 has been nominated as the Official BHGS "Big Boy's Toys" event of next year, meaning that Roll Call will be the only event where the BHGS will be looking to run 25mm competitions (for DBMM, FoGAM and FoGR) alongside the more usual 15mm events.

This idea has come about thanks to a suggestion at Britcon from Ian Speed, and is based on the fact that for a number of years we've tried to run 25mm periods alongside 15mm ones at most of our events, but have more often than not ended up falling just short of reaching critical mass at any of them, often resulting in the 25mm period being cancelled and players moving to other 15mm periods.

There are however clearly a lot of players who do own 25mm armies for these rulesets and would like to wheel them out every now and then, but with a risk of the period either being cancelled, or very small we suspect players have been rather put off entering, creating something of a self fulfilling prophecy.

So, by nominating one event as "the" BHGS event where 25mm will be played (alongside all of the usual 15mm periods too) we are hoping that the many gamers out there with 25mm armies will support the continuation of 25mm wargaming, and choose to bring their "Big Toys" armies out at least once a year with no real fear as to whether their competition will be viable.

Add to that that the car park at Roll Call is probably closer to the venue than any other event we run and it became somewhat of an obvious idea to run 25mm periods at Roll Call !

So, show your support for 25mm gaming by booking Roll Call 2014 - Booking details are on the BHGS website already...
