The BHGS team are now working full steam as we head toward our biggest event of the year Britcon (11-13th August) in it's new home in the middle of the UK's wargaming map, Nottingham Trent's University City Centre Campus.

Britcon this year again features a host of one, two and three day events and competitions, including:
Mortem et Gloriam 15mm 5-games 3-day event Fri/Sat/Sun
Renatio et Gloriam 15mm 5-games 3-day event Fri/Sat/Sun

These two events already feature many luminaries of the UK and European MeG and REG scenes such as:
Paul Cummins
Richard Jeffrey-Cook
Philip Powell
Alex Elliott
Simon Elliott
Stuart Thomas
David Parish
Mark Hargrave
DUFOUR Frédéric
Peter Entwistle
Keith Spedding
Benjamin Allen
Jonathan Beach
John Munro
Stephen Stead

If you've not already signed up and are looking for any excuse to avoid doing DIY and/or gardening over this 4-day Easter weekend, why not book your Britcon ticket right now and start planning your army for the event?

The link to sign up is at : https://www.bhgs.org.uk/britcon---how-to-enter.html

Every Britcon entry ticket again includes a £5 trader voucher and also a grab-bag lunch for each weekend day you are playing - saving you somewhere north of £15-25 in on-the-day outlay compared to many other events and venues on the UK wargaming circuit (and also meaning that "queuing for food" isn't going to eat into your gaming, shopping and socialising time at Britcon either!).

The BHGS have also secured a complete block of student accommodation in University Halls, 5 minutes walk from the venue (and next to a Weatherspoons with late night opening) which you can book along with your gaming ticket - our allocation of rooms is already 50% sold out, so if you want to take advantage of this offer make sure to book soon before we run out of rooms. 

Whichever of our events you are planning on attending, we look forward to seeing you across the table later in the year.

Update from the BHGS re: this year's Bricon.

Quote
As of today you have 20 players entered for MeG.

Our onsite student-priced B&B accommodation is filling up rapidly and with the "book 12-weeks out to get the best price rail tickets" window fast approaching (on the 19th May - worth reminding your players about!) now is the ideal time for players who haven't yet signed up to start planning their trip to Britcon 2023.

As last year all competition and event tickets again include a "grab bag" lunch on each day your players are competing or taking part, as well as a £5 voucher to spend with any of our traders at the show - a unique bundle of benefits worth almost £25 included in the ticket price.

Britcon is again being sponsored by Forged in Battle, and they (along with any others) will be providing prize support again this year. We will also be working again with the Nottingham Board & Wargames Club (and their new gaming centre) to support the event and run the Bring and Buy at the weekend tradeshow too.  The Britcon Trade Show is looking set to be one of our biggest ever with a host of new traders including Ramshackle Games, Fforfreddie / Terra Firma, Pandyman Games, Athena Miniatures, Sarissa Precision, KR Multicase and Footsore Miniatures all joining our many returning traders - the updated list is available on our website for those of your players keen to start planning their shopping well in advance.

Your regular reminder that entries are still being taken for Britcon  ;D

Hello I just booked for BritCon. I haven't played in a good uh.. it might be 4 or 5 years now.
I need to remember how to build a list. I'll have a go later on.
Has anything significant changed that I need to know?

Stu.

Make sure you have the latest army builder and lists (downloadable from the MeG website).  A few minor improvements but basically they work the same way as they always have.  Any queries just PM me.

Thanks to modify

Fear not, we have already updated it in the list that will be used for the R&R, etc.   ;D

It had been entered incorrectly on the BHGS booking form when the booking was made which is where that list posted a few weeks ago came from.

The MeG competition at Britcon has odd numbers. Therefore, to avoid 5 players not getting their full complement of games we need an extra player (or multiple players as long as it is an odd number).

Tickets are still on sale so if you want to join in, please do  ;D

Runners and Riders

With many thanks to Matt Haywood for the list checking  ;D

Hi
Not sure if this is the place - apologies if not.  I'm bringing some spare armies to britcon to sell.  In period are Lithuanians, Huns and Macedonians and for later, Mughals.  Happy to send pics if any meggers are interested.
Hunter

Hi Hunter
i just spotted your post and have mentioned it on the watsapp group

Thanks mate. I don't have WhatsApp but we'll see.  See you at the basho.
