TRIUMPH! Events at Historicon 2019!
Posted: Wed Apr 03, 2019 1:02 am
Greetings, fellow travelers.
Here is the tentative schedule of events for Historicon 2019.
If you want to run a Triumph! event, please get in touch with us -- Historicon has a large enough population of Triumph! players that in previous years we've had no trouble running more than one event in a single timeslot.
Spencer, as always, we appreciate your willingness to run a pre-convention event (Wednesday evening, in this case) -- please let us know what time you would like to start it, and what Theme you are interested in running this time.
Here's the schedule:
Spencer Themed Event: [to be determined]
Epic Conflicts of History Walkup Event: the traditional demo set we've run for several years now; walk up and play some battles. As always, demo armies supplied through the kindness of Thistle and Rose miniatures (Bill Hupp and Brian Caskey).
15mm Open Tournament: Bring your own legal Triumph! army, any time period, any geographic locality. Open tournament -- bring whatever you like, and play against other people doing the same.
Battle of the Five Armies: come fight in one of the critical battles of the Third Age, where Dwarves, Men, and Elves are attacked by a huge force of Wargs and Goblins. Fought in glorious 28mm; all armies supplied. 8 players; 3 hours. This is intended to be a spectacular event, overshadowing my earlier effort of several hundred hours creating Minas Tirith for the Battle of the Pelennor Field. This battle will be run twice, on Thursday and Friday afternoons.
Burning Sun; Bloody Sand. Chariot Era Scenario Event. If you've never played in a Two Davids Scenario Event, you're in for a treat. There will be nine or ten preset historical scenarios (all armies, terrain, and deployment set in advance); players will cycle through playing different battles against different opponents every round. Best score after three rounds (possibly four, time permitting) wins. This event will be run twice, on Friday Evening and on Saturday Afternoon -- if you want to try most of the scenarios, you will need to sign up for the event twice. Current tentative list of historical battles includes:
Bronze Age Chariot Megatheme: this is a simple Theme event -- bring your own army, anything from the Cradle of Civilization or Eastern Mediterranean from 3000 BC until the Fall of Assyria 612 BC. We will have loaners if you want to participate but don't have an army of your own. Four or five rounds, depending upon number of participants; starting at 7pm on Saturday.
