Cheezecon is a series of fun tournaments in a variety of wargames. They are a tongue-in-cheek celebration of standard tournaments. Ideally suited to beginners and to encourage players to try games they may not normally play.

The tournament encourages players to take really "Cheezy" armies. These are the ones that are legal within the rules, but may stretch the boundaries. The armies may be really powerful or too weak or just a really interesting theme that might not do well in a normal tournament (or might do too well).

There are plenty of prizes and some rather wacky ways of winning them. You not only score points for winning games, but also for your army composition (how "cheezy" is it really). You get 4th prize for coming first (highest no. points). You get 1st Prize for finishing fourth. You win a prize if you come last. But since you get bonus points for losing every game it is not that easy to come last! There are bonus points for having really "Cheezy" armies. But beware! There are "no prizes for second place". No one can win more than one prize, so plenty of people walk away with a prize. And since all players get a chance secretly to use "evil manipulation points" to alter opponents' scores up OR down, no one really knows who will win a prize until the last minute. I know it amuses the players and totally confuses the scorer. But that is part of the fun that is Cheezecon.

Co-ordinated by Craig Wyton, with help from other club members, including Jeremy Shannon, October has became "the month of Cheeze". at NWA. This year started with the Warhammer Fantasy competition played on Saturday 8-Oct-05 at the Croydon venue.
