Batman Miniatures Game at Adepticon 2016

In a branching out for the Battle Badgers, we're looking to run an event for the Batman Miniatures Game (BMG) at Adepticon 2016.

Ken Horton is leading the effort, and, given his love for all things Batman, he's the organizer we deserve. We're in discussion with Knight Models and Adepticon regarding details, and we'll be posting updates here.

New Heights at Adepticon

It seems we managed to impress a few folks, or at the very least not upset anyone too horribly, with our display and demo efforts at Adepticon last year. I'm basing this assumption on the fact that the folks at Battlefront asked us out again this past weekend for another go at Ranger Demos and a Flames of War display at Adepticon 2015. 

The Cheesehead Championship

It's been decided that the Cheesehead Championship will be coming to Kenosha, WI to our very own Rockheads Comics and Games this year. This 3 round, 1 day tournament will be taking place on Saturday May 9th. We've not solidified a cost, start time, or headcount as of yet, but we're hoping the first two will be similar to years past, and the headcount will be significantly more.
The Signup Form is just below. At this point signing up is an indication of your interest, it does not guarantee you a spot. However, when things are shored up and we're ready to roll, people who have signed up here will be given precedence. So if you're even considering making it out for this one be sure to sign up!

Adepticon Primer Tourney at Adventure Games (RESULTS)

After we had so much fun running the Wisconsin Winter War at Tundracon for our friends at Adventure Games in Oshkosh, we couldn't help but agree to a second helping of Flames of War when Teddy and Char asked us to help out again, but this time at their new location ( 927 Oregon St. Oshkosh Wisconsin).

First off, if you're in the area and have never been to Adventure Games, or haven't been since they've moved, you're missing out. What a fantastic venue! Teddy and Char were able to comfortably host all 16 of us on 8 solid tables. The truly wonderful part? We weren't in anyone else's way either, the store was full of people playing all sorts of different games, or building models. This isn't to say we were pushed to the darkened back of the store and out of the way. No, far from it in fact, we were right up front in a well lit and comfortable spot. This place is really just that sort of big and very well laid out. We're sort of spoiled when it comes to Friendly Local Game Stores here in our home of Kenosha, but to be entirely honest, I'm sort of jealous of what you Oshkosh lot have going on here.

Adepticon Primer Tournament

Are you looking for a chance to kick the tires on that force you've got planned for Battlefront's Mid War Nationals at Adepticon? Are you unable to make it to Adepticon, but would really like to get in a few games of Mid War anyhow? Well, our friends at Adventure Games & Hobby would love to see you at their place, on Saturday February 28th for our little primer tournament.

The Sign-Up form is just below the break here!

Wisconsin Winter War at TundraCon results

It seems I've been rather lax in my blogging as of late. It's been two weeks since we ran the Wisconsin Winter War at Tundra Con with our friends from Adventure Games in Oshkosh, and I've still not managed to post a thing. Shame on me! Well, I suppose it's better late than never, so here goes.

The Wisconsin Winter War at Tundra Con

Our friends in the Fox Valley Gamer's Club have asked us to lend a hand with their first attempt at hosting a new local con they're calling 'Tundra Con'. So, The Battle Badgers will be on hand running a little one day tourney on Saturday January 10th, at the Post 38 Appleton American Legion as part of Tundra Con. We're calling this little tournament the Wisconsin Winter War and would love to see you there.

An interview with a Badger

Adam from Tabletop Minions came down to check out the Operation Overlord event, and rather than his soldiers, he brought some different toys, his camera and all the great kit that goes with it. Check it out below!

Adam's Tabletop Minions channel is a great source for all sorts of techniques, including painting, photography, or just plain ol' musing about the hobby. If you're looking to take better pictures of your models without dropping big bucks on a professional studio, be sure to take a look at Adam's light box video.

Thanks again for coming down to see us Adam, and thanks even more for putting the time and effort into this video! We're looking forward to playing a game or two with you up at Flying Phoenix Games next weekend!
