Open Day Events

Black Powder 2

We’ll be launching the brand new edition of Black Powder at the event. It’ll be the first time that the new rulebook is available to buy, and we’ll have the author Rick Priestley on hand to sign copies. He’ll also be hosting a seminar with John Stallard to talk about the new game.

Blood Red Skies

We’ve pulled out all the stops to put together a fantastic tournament for the Open Day. We’re inviting 16 people to put their dogfighting skills to the test, hosted by Richard Carlisle from the Web Team and Ken Natt from the Blood Red Skies community.

More information on the tournament is available in this PDF: BRS Tournament v1

The ever-popular Bolt Action is showcased across four beautiful tables, hosted by Gary and Colin Betts. We’ll be hosting introductory games for new players and participation games for seasoned veterans.

Beyond the Gates of Antares

We’ll be running three introductory games for our hit sci-fi system, alongside the opportunity to beat Warlorder Bernard at his own game – bring your own force down and grind his Isorians into dust. We’ll have more information on this closer to the big day.

We’re taking to the Scottish highlands with a truly massive recreation of the Battle of Auldearn, created in collaboration with the Friends of General Haig.
