First off, I am sure you will join us all in thanking Neil Kerr for starting BotCh and running the first 6 BotCh's over the last few years. With the end of the Chump Wars Saga Neil has decided to move on to new challenges in life, but rest assured BotCh is in safe hands, and we look forward to this new exciting era, the start of the Double O Chump series.</p><p>
<strong>Welcome to the seventh annual Flame On Battle of the Chumps event.</strong> There is no stopping us now. The battlefield, as ever, is situated on a war-torn planet of Chumponia where escalating engagements will build up over the weekend into all out war and climatic final battles to decide who shall rule. </p><p>
In a real war skilful application of strategy and tactics will give the participants an edge in the conflict. The different sized games over the weekend, together with some non standard missions and objectives, is all designed to provide players with the opportunity to exercise these skills more than they would be able to do under normal tournament conditions. </p><p>
Usually, players meet each other on a one to one basis, each with the same tactical objectives in mind. These represent individual minor clashes or a small part of a greater conflict that occur in a short period of time.</p><p>
This event represents events occurring over a longer timescale where huge forces clash on an extensive battlefront across which conditions and objectives vary widely. In such titanic battles it is success or failure of large groups of forces which is important not the localised success or failure of one individual force; though they may greatly influence the course of the war through their bravery, skill or shear dumb luck.</p><p>
The weekend's gaming is designed to reflect such conditions so the emphasis is on your overall tactical ability rather than creating a single all winning force. To win each player will need to demonstrate their ability to create and field their army in variously sized conflicts against a diverse selection of foes in order to achieve success. This might mean difficult strategic and tactical decisions need to be made while selecting your separate forces, but that is the true nature of warfare on a large scale.</p><p>
Each player will have 3 separate and distinct armies drawn from the same codex. The first is a small recon force, the second is a main battle group and the third a large war host.</p><p>

<strong>Welcome to the seventh annual Flame On Battle of the Chumps event.</strong> There is no stopping us now. The battlefield, as ever, is situated on a war-torn planet of Chumponia where escalating engagements will build up over the weekend into all out war and climatic final battles to decide who shall rule. </p><p>
In a real war skilful application of strategy and tactics will give the participants an edge in the conflict. The different sized games over the weekend, together with some non standard missions and objectives, is all designed to provide players with the opportunity to exercise these skills more than they would be able to do under normal tournament conditions. </p><p>
Usually, players meet each other on a one to one basis, each with the same tactical objectives in mind. These represent individual minor clashes or a small part of a greater conflict that occur in a short period of time.</p><p>
This event represents events occurring over a longer timescale where huge forces clash on an extensive battlefront across which conditions and objectives vary widely. In such titanic battles it is success or failure of large groups of forces which is important not the localised success or failure of one individual force; though they may greatly influence the course of the war through their bravery, skill or shear dumb luck.</p><p>
The weekend's gaming is designed to reflect such conditions so the emphasis is on your overall tactical ability rather than creating a single all winning force. To win each player will need to demonstrate their ability to create and field their army in variously sized conflicts against a diverse selection of foes in order to achieve success. This might mean difficult strategic and tactical decisions need to be made while selecting your separate forces, but that is the true nature of warfare on a large scale.</p><p>
Each player will have 3 separate and distinct armies drawn from the same codex. The first is a small recon force, the second is a main battle group and the third a large war host.</p><p>

I'd say it's Manchester's premier Epic Armageddon tournament, but since Britcon includes Epic too I have to have the smaller boast of Stockport's premier Epic Armageddon tournament. <div style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ninjabread.co.uk/photos/stockade-2011-prizes.jpg" border="0" alt="Stockport STockade prizes" width="525px" /></div> Eager gamers flocked from as far south as Surrey to compete for the glittering prizes, and the chance to test out the new Stockade scenario - <strong>Objectivity</strong>. Here's the now-obligatory shot of Jeridian, fighting it out with his Shadow Scorpion Space Marines. Epic UK have rejigged the Space Marine Codex this year so Si took to fielding his Scorpions as a ground-pounding Dark Angel force - or <strong>Iron Wing</strong> I'd say if anyone's old enough to remember that company. <div style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ninjabread.co.uk/photos/si-jenkins.jpg" border="0" alt="Si Jenkins" width="300px" /></div> The angle makes the man look like album artwork.

Anyway, Si took the newly-rejigged Dark Angels list, and was drawn against Tim Hunt's Dark Angels. I enjoyed this match-up as both players were attracted to the list as it's new version allows them to field twice as many Hunters (Space Marine AA tanks) in a formation. However, Dark Angels don't have any allied Navy so it's largely wasted. Who won what? 3rd place, and <em>Most Visually Awesome - Judge's Choice</em> went to Steve Gullick and his Vanaheim air Cavlary. <div style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ninjabread.co.uk/photos/stockade-mva-judges.jpg" border="0" alt="Steve Gullick" width="525px" /></div> <div style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ninjabread.co.uk/photos/gullicks-vanaheim.jpg" border="0" alt="Vanaheim Aircav" width="525px" /></div> Steve's Vanaheim makes heavy use of alternative manufacturers mixed in with exceedingly rare Games Workshop Epic Catachans.

Basically the attackers have to cross two rivers and capture key political buildings in a city. Though the defenders are massively outnumbered, they've mined the rivers - even going so far as adding gravitic spring mines to stop pesky skimmers. The city itself is void-shielded and encased in a flak umbrella (ella, ella, ay, ay ay...). </p><p><a href="http://www.ninjabread.co.uk//flame-on/EpicScenario-Horufen-V23012011.pdf" target="_blank"><div style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ninjabread.co.uk//flame-on/assault-on-horufen-map.gif" border="0" alt="Assault on Horufen" width="500px" /></div><div style="text-align: center"> </div></a> <a href="http://www.ninjabread.co.uk/flame-on/EpicScenario-Horufen-V23012011.pdf" target="_blank">Si's full scenario is available to download here.</a> And so the combined strike team of <strong>Ragorie/Shadow Scorpions/Raven Wing/Biel-Tann</strong> commanded by Si, Stomp and Curis assaulted the evil <strong>Deathguard/Siegemasters </strong> of Christian and James (who'd come over from Wales especially).

This was the Assault on Horufen. </p><p><a href="http://www.ninjabread.co.uk//flame-on/assault-on-horufen-1.jpg"><div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.ninjabread.co.uk//flame-on/assault-on-horufen-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Assault on Horufen" width="525px" /></div></a> </p><p>This was a scenario written by Flame On's mighty Si. Si's campaigns, army lists and scenarios are always set in his own corner of the universe - this time the planet <strong>Mocheskan</strong>, in the throes of civil war in the dark days of Abbadon's 13th Black Crusade. Basically the attackers have to cross two rivers and capture key political buildings in a city. Though the defenders are massively outnumbered, they've mined the rivers - even going so far as adding gravitic spring mines to stop pesky skimmers. The city itself is void-shielded and encased in a flak umbrella (ella, ella, ay, ay ay...). </p><p><a href="http://www.ninjabread.co.uk//flame-on/EpicScenario-Horufen-V23012011.pdf" target="_blank"><div style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ninjabread.co.uk//flame-on/assault-on-horufen-map.gif" border="0" alt="Assault on Horufen" width="500px" /></div><div style="text-align: center"> </div></a> <a href="http://www.ninjabread.co.uk/flame-on/EpicScenario-Horufen-V23012011.pdf" target="_blank">Si's full scenario is available to download here.</a> And so the combined strike team of <strong>Ragorie/Shadow Scorpions/Raven Wing/Biel-Tann</strong> commanded by Si, Stomp and Curis assaulted the evil <strong>Deathguard/Siegemasters </strong> of Christian and James (who'd come over from Wales especially). Ultimately the day was won by a pair of Warlord Titans holding the only crossing to the second river while wave-after-wave of Imperial/Eldar engagements splashed off them. </p><p><a href="http://www.ninjabread.co.uk/flame-on/christian-and-curis.jpg" target="_blank"><div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.ninjabread.co.uk//flame-on/christian-and-curis.jpg" border="0" alt="Assault on Horufen" width="525px" /></div><div style="text-align: center"> </div></a> <a href="http://www.ninjabread.co.uk/flame-on/assault-on-horufen-2.jpg"><div style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.ninjabread.co.uk/flame-on/assault-on-horufen-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Assault on Horufen" width="525px" /></div><div style="text-align: center"> </div></a> It took nine hours, and lots of beer.
