Please could people spread the word on this one, to any forum I don't visit! ... Thanks

4,000pts EPIC tournament at Britcon! 11th and 12th August

As there is a massive gap between UK EPIC tournaments this summer (Last one being 19th / 20th May and then the one after that not being until the end of September) I?ve managed to set up an event at Britcon. You can download an entry form from here http://www.bhgs.co.uk/Nationals/IntroPage.htm

Britcon is my favourite event of the year. It?s a on campus event at the Manchester University; not only is it a tournament with loads of other systems playing it also has a wargaming convention tagged onto it (admittedly not as big as it used to be). I believe this is the only UK on campus EPIC event making it much more than just a tournament, being able to drink in the student bar Friday and Saturday nights knowing your room isn?t very far away has to be a bonus  :D .

It?s 6 game tournament over 3 days; Yes that?s right the first game is Friday evening; but don?t worry you can start your game from 4pm and you have until 10pm to complete it. Personally I normally book Friday off work, travel down early to look around the convention and play a practice game or two.  Also because Britcon is an on campus event, and therefore more time available to play your game, the points limit will be 4,000pts. Yes indeed, taking abit of risk but I think there is enough time to play 4,000pt games using the WPS rules pack.

So that?s 6x 4,000pt games!
On campus event with accommodation
A student bar that stays open stupidly late (oh and then if you want to stay out any later, your in the middle of Manchester City)
The overnight leader ?curse of the yellow shirt?
Oh and not forgetting the legendary pub quiz

Right I suppose you would like to know the cost. Well for a complete price list please check http://www.bhgs.co.uk/Nationals/IntroPage.htm, but for two nights B+B plus entry it works out at ?106. If you break that down that?s probably ?40 a night in for a room in the middle of Manchester and ?26 entry fee for 6x 4,000pt games ? that?s pretty good!

I love Britcon; it?s not just a tournament, it?s a fantastic weekend away and I will certainly be going!

Hopefully see you there!

4000pts - fantastic! I guess you want everybody to bring horde armies then?

I've posted this on the SG forum as well

When are you planning the Mansfield Gt?
As far as I am aware the remaining tournaments are -

19-20 May GW GT
26-27 May WPS Club Challenge
11-12 August Britcon GT
25 August Open War
?  Mansfield GT

Arrrgh!

Didn't realise open war was two weeks after ... Doh! Hope this doesn't affect numbers.

It would be good if people don't bring huge horde armies; if they do and run out of time ... draw :)

I'm hoping the GT in Mansfield will be late October time

I am presuming it will be something like 2 to 4 weeks before the event; this is the norm for WPS events.

I shall check with the Organisers and let you know!

Right spoke to the guy,

He said there is no final entry date however he has to leave time to order trophies etc. If i system doesn't look like it's going to go ahead then he will cancell it before ordering trophies. I think we are probably looking at 3 to 4 weeks for trophies

So get your entries in!
