What's On?
Here is a quick rundown of what is happening during the day...
- SEMINARS - Join the Battlefront bosses (Peter, John-Paul, John Matthews and Gordon) for several in-depth seminars throughout the day and links with New Zealand, which will be streamed on our website. So, if you’ve ever wondered how we decide on what miniature or boardgame we’re going to make or have some questions about what the future holds for Flames Of War, Team Yankee or TANKS, post your questions below
- PARTICIPATION GAMES - We will have participation campaign games running throughout the day, building up to a large multiplayer battle before the days end for both Flames Of War and Team Yankee.
- OTHER EVENTS - Alongside the participation games will be demo games of some of our upcoming new boardgames including Aliens, a speed painting competition plus of course our retail stand which will have some special deals on the day.
So, make sure to join us as we take a peek at all of the goodies and maybe we'll get in a few games too!
Battlefront UK Games Centre
As well as the event, folks in the UK have lots to look forward to as the Battlefront UK Games Centre is opening soon on July 5th.
"Come and visit the exciting new Game Centre of Battlefront Miniatures Europe. We have games tables for Flames Of War, Team Yankee, 'NAM, TANKS and Fate Of A Nation, all with gorgeous terrain over which to fight.
All you need are your armies and a few hours every Thursday night 17:30 - 22:00
Never played before? No problem; we'll have staff on hand to show you how to play, build an army and how to paint it at our hobby station.
Are you a board game fan? We've got a dedicated boardgame room where you can play any of our GF9 licensed boardgames such as Firefly Adventures: Brigands & Browncoats, Star Trek Ascendancy and D&D Vault Of Dragons.
Need a new platoon for your army? We've got you covered there as well with our onsite retail store. We have everything for all our 15mm games, plus Dungeons & Dragons, GF9 boardgames and all our hobby tools and accessories. Open every day from 10:00-17:00 (open later on Thursday games night), feel free to pop along and grab your kit."
Will you be frequenting this after you've joined in with the Live Blog this weekend?
@johnlyons I just heard Apaches are coming! Find outif Blackhawks are coming to. You are awesome!
More love for Tanks please. Churchill has just been released.
I would definitely have attended this with some of the lads from my gaming club if we had heard about it. This for me ties back in to having something, maybe just a calendar, on the OTT/BoW site that can be used by companies or event organisers to populate a calendar with a title and a link.
Agreed we will be adding functions like that to places mate
I really enjoy these live blogs, all the fun of the gathering, without that underlying aroma of sweat, and no chance of catching con lurgy.
Thanks for taking the risk so i don’t have to.
Missed getting up there today so thanks guys! 🙂
Looking forward to it!
All this great WWII action has me wanting to dive back into Company of Hero’s for a bit.
Told my wife that I was missing out on a ‘Tank-fest’ of goodness today. Plus there was a limited edition Doctor Who miniature there today only. She said, “What’s stopping you?” I replied, “Oh, just the Atlantic Ocean.” 🙂
Looks like it was a blast to be there.
Tanks for covering the event for us guys!
TTTTTTAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKSSSS!!
Nice, I am getting slowly stuck in the Team Yankee game. What is more, my gf wants to try it out too, so I am getting the Starter soon.
As much as I am trying to be a objective person, Battlefront always manages to bring out the fanboy in me. I just love nearly everything they are doing and how they are doing that.
Really enjoyed this blog!
good to see coverage from “smaller” events, getting exposed to more games and events that i wouldn’t normally take an interest in is a large part of why i’m a backstager to support you guys.
Been away from BoW for too long missed all this coverage. Watching it after the fact.
Gorgeous scenery. Can think of several uses for those… 😉
Just started to pick up team Yankee. Can’t wait to get it all stuck together and start playing.
Love that Stug.. superb
Just getting into wargaming. This stuff is awesome!
