This competition no longer runs, it had a novel format whereby players played in teams of 2 and brought a pair of historically matched armies.
This competition was started by Arnaud Marmier in 2001 and is now named in memory of Alan Neill, a vital member of the gaming community in Belfast and Ireland. It has always been held as part of the Q-Con games convention (http://www.q-con.org.uk/) and is traditionally on the last full weekend in June. The format has typically been a 2-day, 4-round, open event.
An annual ancients wargames competition in Dublin held since 2005, usually in March.
An annual ancients wargames competition held in Dublin and hosted by RINIWA
The Celtic Championship competition was inaugurated in 2003. It is designed to be a roving premier event which will encourage communication between Ancients wargames players on the fringes of the thriving English scene. It also aims to provide the opportunity to organise a larger annual event than would be sustainable by the small player communities present in the individual countries of the "celtic fringe". Each year the event will take place in a different one of the hosting regions - the Republic of Ireland , Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales (who have yet to host).
