Tournaments at HISTORICON
This page contains all the information on tournaments at this year's convention.
Join the massive and most extensive tournament program in North America! More than 700 games over
the entire four days of the convention attract players from across the continent and usually
England as well. And if recent history is any indication, there will be a night of semi-organized
games and pickup chances the Wednesday night before the “official”
start of the convention.
The North American Society of Ancient and Medieval Wargamers (NASAMW) returns with their annual National
Invitational Championship Tournaments in DBA, DBM, Fields of Glory and Warrior, while also offering a
wide range of open and thematic events in those games. Several NASAMW tournaments will be designed for
gamers new to the systems they play.
The North East Wargaming Society (NEWS) will run Doubles and Singles Warhammer Ancients Battles
(WAB) tournaments, a Singles pike and shot event, plus a Warhammer ECW tournament and possibly
additional demonstration games.
Speaking of pike and shot, the Renaissance Wargaming Society (RWS) will have multiple DBR tournaments
in 15mm and 25mm and is also looking to run demonstration games or a different tournament format
aimed at newer players. And always look for Wargods on Saturday night!
Armati returns! After a several year hiatus, here’s your chance to participate in one of the
only Armati tournaments in the country.
The locally-run Flames of War (FoW) tournament will be one of the largest in the country and has
expanded into a two-day event, plus there will be an Axis & Allies – War at Sea tournament
sponsored by Wizards of the Coast.
The wide variety and sheer number of events plus complete details is too extensive to list here, so
we urge interested gamers to get the latest information on the largest tournament program at HISTORICON yet!
