A large multi-table battalion scenario. Each player fields a 1000-point army with a 16 order-dice limit. Simultaneous battles play out across multiple tables: Company Commanders fight it out on individual tables while Battalion Commanders manage artillery, air support, and reserves across the whole engagement.

Full event details and registration on Longshanks.

French and Indian War Raid (2:00)

Rules: Sharp Practice
Scale: 28mm
Setting: French and Indian War
Players: 6
GM: Allen Hughes

An Indian raid on settlers.

Space Hulk: Suicide Mission (2:00)

Rules: Space Hulk
Scale: 28–32mm
Setting: Warhammer 40,000
Players: 2–4
GM: Jon Beatty

A squad of Space Marine Terminators has teleported deep into a Genestealer-infested Space Hulk. Their objective is simple: fight through the corridors, reach the target, and destroy it—even if none of them return.

This participation game recreates the classic Space Hulk scenario at Warhammer 40,000 scale. Updated Terminators and Genestealers fight across a full 3D hulk built from Zone Mortalis floor tiles and Boarding Actions walls, doors, and bulkheads instead of the original cardboard corridors. Tight corridors, restricted firing lanes, overwatch, and brutal close combat — every move matters as the Terminators race against an enemy that never stops coming. No experience required.

Aliens: Colonial Marines - Mission: Bay 42 (2:00)

Rules: Aliens: Another Glorious Day in The Corps/Get Away From her You B&$%#!
Scale: 30mm
Setting: Science Fiction (Aliens)
Players: 8
GM: Matthew Flattery

[Mission Details]

“Alright Marines, after last night assault on the Operations Center where we are holding up by a heavy Xenomorph infestation; one of them managed to drop itself right on top of our communications board and bleed itself out- rendering it all but useless.”

“Thankfully, Bishop managed to find a set of replacement parts and equipment in a Storage Bay Area labeled ‘Bay 42’. I’m sending your squad in to collect those parts and bring them back here for repairs; failure is not an option.”

“You either bring back those parts- or we can kiss our asses at calling for reinforcements, or better yet rescue, goodbye.”

“Stay Frosty Marines, and get back here in one piece.”

-Lt. Scott Gorman

[Communication ended]
