Britcon - Manchester
2016-08-12 12:00 - 2016-08-14 18:00 | The University of Manchester, Barnes Wallis Building, Manchester, M1 3NL
What is Britcon?
Britcon …

… is the UK’s biggest multi-period, multi-ruleset wargames competition
… has events in over a dozen different rulesets and periods for you to take part in
… offers onsite Student accommodation and an onsite bar all priced at discounted “university” rates
… includes one of the North West’s largest 2-day wargames tradeshows
… is held in Manchester only steps away from from Piccadilly Station

Yes, the largest event in the BHGS calendar will be returning to the now-familiar surroundings of UMIST in (always-sunny) Manchester over the Friday-Sunday of 12-14th August 2016.

What else to look out for…?

Prices Frozen – astonishingly yes, after another good year we are able to keep the entry prices flat yet again.
The return of the Britcon Fiver – we will hand back £5 per player (for all of the 2-day periods) n the form of the very popular “£5 off any £10 purchase with any trader” deal.
Same better layout – we are keeping the extra gaming room, which will allow us to keep growing all of the existing periods including “Saga” and “Bolt Action” , “40k” and introducing new Ancients periods for Britcon – DBA, L’Art de la Guerre and Mortem et Glorium.
Accomodation still optional – We’ve 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, but you are totally free to book and stay elsewhere if you wish – if you are prepared to walk 10 minutes we heard of hotels with rates as low as £17/night last year, so look around. If you do want to stay onsite there will soon be a separate booking portal to book the UMIST rooms that you will be taken to once you confirm your Britcon entry.

Tournament Rules
1. FORCES
Players can elect to use either Reinforced Platoons or Armoured Platoons they are not allowed to mix the two and there are specific restrictions for both types.
Reinforced Platoons:
Players must use a 1,250 requisition points force.
The force must consist of a maximum of 3 Reinforced Platoons.
The platoons in the force must be selected using the army list section of any one of the following supplement books:
– Armies of Germany, Armies of United States, Armies of Great Britain, Armies of the Soviet Union, Armies of Imperial Japan, Armies of France and the Allies, Armies of Italy and the Axis.
Each platoon must be formed either according to the generic reinforced platoon selector (see page 124 of the BA rulebook) or one of the theatre selectors from the chosen supplement book.
Players are allowed to mix platoons from different theatre selectors (from the same book) into a single force. For example, you could have one generic British reinforced platoon alongside one taken from a Market Garden selector.
Armoured Platoons:
Players must use a 1,250 requisition points force.
The force must consist of a maximum of 1 Armoured Platoon.
The platoon in the force must be selected using the army list section of any one of the following supplement books:
– Armies of Germany, Armies of United States, Armies of Great Britain, Armies of the Soviet Union, Armies of Imperial Japan, Armies of France and the Allies, Armies of Italy and the Axis.
The platoon must be formed according to the Armoured platoon selector (see page 11 of the Tank War rulebook).
Armoured Recce vehicles are a 0-1 choice for this event.
2. game time
After two and a half hours of gameplay, the players must finish the current turn, and then the game ends automatically.
3. ARMY LIST
The players must write down the army list they are going to use for the duration of the entire tournament. They must leave a copy of their list to the referee before the start of the tournament. The force list is public and the opponent can always look at it and ask you questions about your force.
4. MATCH-UPS
The match-ups of Game 1 will be random. In the following games players will be matched using Tournament Points (TP) and Casualty points, as explained below.
5. SCENARIOS
The following scenarios will be played, as described in the BA rulebook, on table with terrain that has been pre-set by the organisers.
Game 1: Hold Until Relieved.
Game 2: Point Defence.
Game 3: Maximum Attrition.
6. TOURNAMENT POINTS (TP)
Victory is calculated as described in the Scenarios being played and Tournament points are awarded for victories, defeats and draws as shown below:
Result Tournament Points
Victory 3 TP
Draw 1 PT
Loss 0 TP
In addition, players must also record how many requisition points of enemy units they destroy during their games. These destroyed enemies points (let’s call them ‘Casualty points’) are always added together in a running total and are used as a tiebreaker to pair players that are on the same level of Tournament points.
From the second round, players will be paired using a Swiss system (i.e. matching players on the same amount of TPs, in descending order).
In case of more than two players on the same number of TPs, players will be matched in descending ‘Casualty points’ total.
If they have the same TP and Casualty points total, players will be paired in alphabetic order.
When two players that have already met in a previous turn are matched to play each other again, they must randomly select opponents from the players on the next table down. This rule does not apply on the top five tables during the last turn of the tournament.
7. WINNING THE TOURNAMENT
The winner is determined at the end of the last round, according to the following criteria:

The player with the most TP will be the winner.
In case of same TP at the top, the winner will be the player with the highest Casualty points total.
In case of same Casualty points total, we’ll see if the players have played each other during the course of the tournament and the winner will be the winner of such match.
If the players never met in the tournament, the tournament ends with a joint victory and the players share the first prize.

Bolt action turnering i Krigsmaskinen
2015-02-28 | Ungdomshuset, Dortheavej 61, København, 2400, Denmark
Bolt action turnering
Den 28 februar arrangerer Krigsmaskinen (ungdomshusets figurkrigsspilsklub) en bolt action turnering i salen i ungdomshuset. Tanken bag turneringen er at se hvor mange danske bolt action spillere er interesseret i denne type turnering, samt at samle miljøet på tværs af klubber og vante modstandere. Turneringen vil blive afviklet i en hyggelig og venskabelig ånd, mens der dog er vid mulighed for at gå til stålet og bevise sine kommandoføringsevner.
Der spilles 4 spil af 2 1/2 times varighed.
1000 points
Man tilmelder sig som allieret eller aksemagt. Man angiver en tidsperiode man ønsker at spille.
Tidlig = 39-43
Sen = 44-45
Man bliver parret med modstandere af modsatte fraktion og sammetidsperiode. Man kan også angive om man er åben for begge tidsperioder. Forhåbentligt er der også spillere som er fleksible med hensyn til valg af nation så vi kan få det til at gå op i en højere enhed.
Forplejning!
Der vil være frokost pause hvor der serveres smørrebrød med diverse drikkevarer. Aftensmaden bestiller vi fra den lokale grill, eller hvor man nu vil have lyst til at forpleje sig fra.
Der er bar som er åben under hele forløbet, hvor der forefindes øl sodavand og andet godt. Vi henstiller til at alkohol nydes med måde, så turneringen kan afvikles på hyggelig og ordnet vis. Ruller man en fubar får man en gammel dansk til at stive moralen af!
Programmet er som følger :
9:00 ankomst og indtjekning.
9:30 – 12:00 1 spil
12:00 – 12:30 frokost
12:30 – 15:00 2 spil
15:15 – 17:45 3 spil
17:45 – 18:30 forplejning og vedligeholdelse
18:30 – 21:00 4 spil
21:00 – 21:30 almindelig fedtsnak om dagens forløb og derefter præmieoverrækkelser.
21:30 – 22:00 oprydning.
Deltagelse koster 100kr som går til forplejning og præmier.
Vi håber at kunne samle en broget skare af bolt action spillere i Danmark, hensigten er at styrke det spirende bolt action miljø. Her er mulighed for at møde andre spillere end dem man plejer at spille med ude i klubberne og/eller i privaten. det bliver også spændende at se hvor mange bolt action spillere der egentlig kan samles til denne type event. Skriv venligst som kommentar til eventen hvilket land du ønsker at spille og hvilken tidsperiode. I den nærmere fremtid hvor vi har et vist overblik over antallet af spillere, tilgår information om betaling osv.
Ønsker du mere information kan du kontakte
Bjarke Lindegaard Knudsen på tlf 22404299 eller på tronbar@yahoo.dk eller her på Facebook.
Vi håber at de som har en interesse i bolt action vil bakke op om dette initiativ.
Med hensyn til restriktioner og deslige er dette under overvejelse og der er stadig meget praktisk information som vil tilgå, vi håber i vil melde jer til tidligt så vi kan få en ide om hvor mange spillere der kan samles til turneringen.
Mvh arrangørerne
PS: da turneringen afholdes i ungdomshuset skal husets grundregler overholdes.
Disse er :
Ingen rasicme, sexisme, homofobi, vold eller hårde stoffer.

• PDF’s are welcome! Even if that faction has an army book available.
• This event will be WYSIWYG WITH IN REASON (WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET) Meaning a model with a flamethrower or any weapon must be modeled so the guy/gal across the table will be able to identify it as such. Exceptions will be granted for certain models and vehicles bring them to the TO. The Idea is to make it so people can make good decisions during play but this is not meant to be crazy if you can make it so the guy/gal across from you can simply recognize what is what.

• Hanoswag (player who best exhibits that list-making is not about selecting powerful units, but rather about facilitating a good time and depicting historical accuracy) which is judged by the tournament organizer.
• Hanoswag rankings points are earned based on the number of tournament participants; so if a player wins Hanoswag in a ten-player event, that player earns ten Hanoswag rankings points. The organizer will rank each list in descending order, so the “worst” Hanoswag list will receive one point.

Battle for Stalingrad!
0224-11-16 - 2024-11-17 | Ludoteca Quarta Dimensione, Via Ermes di Colloredo 14, Udine, Udine, 33100, Italy
The Battle for Stalingrad is an immersive, non competitive 2 day event which will see a total of 20 played scenarios chosen from Warlord Games’ Stalingrad and Case Blue campaign books. These Scenarios will involve steppe fighting before the siege of Stalingrad, scenarios of the Soviet counteroffensive in the snowy, frozen Winter of 43 and of course scenarios within the city where Germans and Soviets will fight for every inch on the game board. Iconic fights such as the Concrete Monolith and Pavlov’s house are among a long list of the many bloody battles that will be fought.
Friuli War Games, with this event, is trying to organize a proper “Bolt Action Experience”. where players coming from all over Italy will feel immersed in these historic battles. The main goal if everyone to have as much fun as possible and to feel like they’re on the battle field with the (plastic) troops. With this mentality, the group is looking to create a one of a kind event in Italy, and to create a format which can be used for other campaigns in the future. We are working very hard to create the best quality tables and scenarios as possible, to build a strong community for this more historical way of playing the beautiful game that is Bolt Action.
Pictures and battle reports will follow the event…With Battle for Stalingrad we will be saying “goodbye V2 and welcome V3” as this event will be played using the V2 rules not having enough time to experiment with the new rules.
