Bristol Big'Uns
Welcome to our forums. The Bristol Big'Uns are a group of people who enjoy fantasy, science fiction and historical wargames. We tend to play mostly table-top wargames but you will sometimes see CCGs, CMGs, RPGs or board games. If this sounds like a hobby you currently enjoy then why not come along. The club is based at Iron Acton, between Bristol and Yate, in the recently refurbished Parish Hall and is held Sunday evenings from 6 pm until 10 pm. There are tables and chairs available plus various sized scenic mats and terrain for table-top wargames. Please bring with you any drinks or snacks that you require.
How it works:
All participants in a Big Al Trophy game receive 1 point. A game winner will receive an additional 2 points. If the game is drawn, each participant will receive an additional 1 point.
At Season End a participant’s total score will be divided by the number of Big Al Trophy games played, or 5 if lower.
The person with the highest resulting value will be entered into the Big Al Trophy roll of honour and earns the right to look after the Big Al Trophy for 6 months , after which it has to be returned to the club for re-awarding.
Season 1 starts 1 December 2018, running until Season End on 31 May 2019.
Hope all is clear, but any questions ask away...

The Big Al Trophy Relaunch
The Big Al Trophy will be more inclusive, so rather than using a single gaming system any system will count towards the Big Al Trophy.
There are a couple of principles to follow:
- Games are to take place at the club venue;
- Agree the game will be a Big Al Trophy game;
- Who took part and the result will need to be added to the pinned topic ‘Big Al Trophy Season 1 Results.’ As soon as is practicable, but before Season End.
How it works:
All participants in a Big Al Trophy game receive 1 point. A game winner will receive an additional 2 points. If the game is drawn, each participant will receive an additional 1 point.
At Season End a participant’s total score will be divided by the number of Big Al Trophy games played, or 5 if lower.
The person with the highest resulting value will be entered into the Big Al Trophy roll of honour and earns the right to look after the Big Al Trophy for 6 months , after which it has to be returned to the club for re-awarding.
Season 1 starts 1 December 2018, running until Season End on 31 May 2019.

Re: The Big Al Trophy Relaunch
The Ratkin have a shiny new weapons team, the Saxons are half out of the box, and hence forth any kill team games involving John’s heretics need to be conducted in a scale model of my garage😎
