This year we’re going BIG, taking over the main hall of The Oval Leisure Centre and packing it full of new and familiar faces. In other words, think War-Con ’25, and then double it!

Lincoln BattleTech Open

Date: August 1, 2026
Time: 9:45 am – 6:15 pm
Location: Imps Gaming, 15 Crofton Close, Lincoln, LN3 4NT

The Lincoln Battletech Open is the first Battletech tournament EVER…
… in Lincoln…
… this year.
The ‘Open’ part means the tournament uses the Catalyst Demo Team’s BattleTech Open Format. Instead of crafting a single restrictive list for the entire tournament, players will choose from a themed selection of 5-6 force options for each round.
Points are scored by damaging or destroying your opponent’s mechs.
This structure allows all players an enjoyable, competitive, action-packed series of games without being shoehorned into loading up on a list full of jump-pulse.
