Havoc has a long tradition of being the best miniatures convention in the Northeast with high quality games, displays and tournaments. Check out our Havoc! page for game master and player registration information or go straight to our Table Top Events page to register. Every year we present two awards at Havoc!:

  • The Dave Award, in honor of Dave Donovan, friend and mentor to us all. It is BGB’s recognition of excellence and is given to the best of show event at each Havoc! Check out the past winners;
  • The Al Award, in memory of Al Garnache. This award is given to the game master that puts on the event with the most visual appeal. You can see the past winners.
