- **Event Name**: Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game: The Scourging of Dorsetshire 2026
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 08 Feb, 2026 at 08:30 am – Sun, 08 Feb, 2026 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: The drums of war echo once more across Middle-earth — and Dorsetshire becomes the next great battlefield. Heroes and villains alike will gather at Beachhead 2026 to test their courage and command in The Scourging of Dorsetshire, a 600-point MESBG tournament using the brand-new edition rules. Muster your forces, from the noble realms of Men to the dark hosts of Mordor, and lead them through three epic clashes of strategy, skill, and fate. With legacy armies, new rules, and the ever-watchful eyes of the Valar (and TOs) upon you, this is your chance to write your own legend in the chronicles of Middle-earth.

Beachhead invites you to join us for our 600pts MESBG event.

We will be using the new edition rule and army list building. You will only need to bring 1 army with you for this event. This army must be fully painted and models must be mounted on the appropriate base sizes. 

As this is a competitive event using the new edition and rules, we will ask players to be mindful that some rules will need clarification, especially on the day. We will be using any FAQ's or clarifications released by Games Workshop. If there is still an ambiguous rule then the decision will be down to the TO's discretion.

Legacy armies are allowed. 

We will be playing 3 games. There will be ample time to explore the event during the breaks in-between games.
