Space Gits

Simple to pick up and fun game, Space Gits is a fast easy game that is quite unique.

Players movement is determined by roll dice into the play area and have to move directly towards the dice, wherever they land. Shooting is much the same, rolling dice and spraying bullets towards the enemy, hoping someone is in the way!

Both damage and activations are managed using little towers of dice that you have to move around with your dudes: if the tower ever falls down, so does your orc, and they can't get back up unless a mate boots them up!

MegaGame 2024: The Battle of Wagram

The Battle of Wagram was fought over the 5th and 6th of July, 1809. It was a costly, but decisive, victory for Napoleon's French and allied army over the Austrians led by Archduke Charles. When it was fought, Wagram was the largest battle in European history, with more around 300,000 men, 40,000 cavalry, and 800 guns engaged over the two days.

This historical refight of the battle of Wagram will be done in 6mm scale with 1 figure representing approximately 20 men. There will be more than 13,500 infantry figures, 2,500 cavalry troopers, and over 170 artillery pieces on the table. Combined with our sculpted scenery, and more than a dozen commanders from across Australia this refight of Wagram promises to be a spectacular sight at BrisCon!

The Pikemans Lament

This often overlooked period is represented by the Osprey blue book rules "The Pikemans Lament".
The game is set in the Thirty Years War, particularly in the Swedish Intervention and will feature 28mm size Swedish and Imperial Holy Roman  Empire armies.
The Pikemans Lament rule system has mechanics similar to the very popular Lion Rampant set of rules and gives the gamer an exciting and eventful game that comes to a conclusion in one to two hours. It is an ideal game system for a convention as it is very easy for novice gamers to master very quickly.
Saturday will feature  scenarios from the rules and on the Sunday an historical action based on the last charge of the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus at the Battle of Lutzen in 1632.

Rorkes Drift

The Battle of Rorke’s Drift was a successful defence of a mission station, under the command of Lieutenants John Chard of the Royal Engineers and Gonville Bromhead, of the 24th Regiment of Foot.

A large contingent of Zulu warriors were sent from the main force during the final hours of the defeat at Battle of Isandlwana on 22 January 1879. These warriors travelled ten kilometres (six miles) to attack Rorke's Drift later that day and continuing into the following day.

A small force of British and colonial troops defended the station against attacks by thousands of Zulu warriors. The piecemeal attacks by the Zulu on Rorke's Drift came very close to overwhelming the much smaller garrison but were consistently repelled. Eleven Victoria Crosses were awarded to individual defenders, along with a number of other decorations and honours.

Can you be a Victoria Cross winner join us to play apart of this dramatic episode in British Military history.
