Art De La Guerre

Britcon 2026 will be held over the weekend of 7/8/9 August , at The Venue@DMU in Leicester.

At Britcon this year there will be two ADLG periods.

Both periods will be played to V4 plus any FAQ and amendments in time at the date of the event.

15mm Ancients - Two Themes - one Competition!
The 15mm event will run with 6 games over the weekend, (Friday night, 3 games on Saturday and 2 games on Sunday) with players required to bring 2 armies, one being used for rounds 1-3, and a different army used for rounds 4-6.

Each year we will pick 2 of the following 4 themes to be played:
Theme 1
Biblical Ancient and America, 3000 BC – 501 BC for non-American lists. Any list from the America section of the lists is permitted, but no Europeans are allowed.
Theme 2
Classical and Roman 500 BC – 492 AD.
Theme 3
Dark Age/Feudal 494 AD – 1329 AD (No Heavy Knights or Foot Knights allowed).
Theme 4
Medieval 1330 AD – 1500 AD.

In 2026, Rounds 1-3 will be with armies from Theme 2, and Rounds 4-6 will be played using armies from Theme 4.
A different army list must be chosen for each period
Allies must be valid in the same dateline as the main list
All armies are 200 points
Standard sized tables of 120cm x 80cm.
Players must bring their own terrain pieces and ideally cloths too

25/28mm Event
The 25mm event will run with 5 games over the weekend, (3 games on Saturday and 2 games on Sunday) with;
All armies drawn from Theme 1 (Biblical Ancient and America) as listed above
The 25/28mm period is for armies based on '25mm bases' with 60mm base widths.
Other figure scales on these bases are totally acceptable as long as they look nice
200 points
6x4 tables
Players must bring their own terrain pieces and ideally cloths too

The timetable for 15mm is as follows:
Friday : 6:00pm earliest start, 19:30 latest start, play to a conclusion or around 10 pm when time will be called.
Saturday : 0930-1145, 13:00-1515, 16:00-1815
Sunday : 09:00-1115, 12:30-1445
These games times will be extended by a few minutes (up to 15) as decided by the umpires.
When time is called there will be a 'hard stop' to the games - put the dice down, and work out the result. We know there are pro's and cons to this system, but it is the same for everyone and greatly helps the overall organisation of the whole event (we are inputting scores and calculating draws for almost 200 players across 10+ other events too) by preventing games dragging on and holding up the scoring. A more detailed explanation of this process may be found here.

For 25mm there will be no Friday night game, with the 5 rounds running to the same schedule as the 15mm competition on Saturday and Sunday.

Scoring will be done on the usual French system.

Umpire : Tim Porter, plus the usual cabal of experts who'll be playing anyway
