The Sheffield & Mansfield Dragon Slayers (SMDS for short) are an amalgamation of around forty keen Warhammer players from various groups within Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire. These groups are affectionately known as “Chapters” and are, in no particular order, the Mansfield Wargames Club, the Sheffield Dragon Slayers, God’s Impressive Mythical Players Society (GIMPS) and the Nottingham Lads.
Now, bragging rights are very important in the SMDS and we had an idea it would be relatively amusing to pit Dragon Slayer against Dragon Slayer to find out which Chapter is, indeed, the best. Thus was born the SMDS Challenge Cup, a tournament in which the deadliest Warhammer players in the universe would get to bash each other senseless over a gaming table! However, we also thought it would be a good idea to extend invitations to other players in order to provide yet further stiff competition (and of course to ensure others will fear the strength in depth found within our club). To that end, we decided to invite the top twenty players in the country (selected using the system used to rank players in the WPS magazine Total Power) and anybody who doesn’t normally get to play in UK tournaments - such as the Games Workshop design team, the WPS Committee and any “foreigners”, which does include Scottish people!
