Battlegroup Clash: Baltics vs Sebastian Bae | SDHistCon Winter 2025 wargaming convention demo game

As part of SDHistCon Winter 2025 online convention, James Buckley hosted a demo game of his upcoming Battlegroup Clash: Baltics wargame set in a near future peer-to-peer conflict. The game is a streamlined and reworked version of the Battlegroup Wargame System which the Britisch Army has recently introduced to its units.

I got to play against professional wargaming legend Sebastian Bae.

Battlegroup Clash: Baltics (BC:B) is a one- to six-player tactical combat game simulating a series of hypothetical near future battles in the Baltics between Blue and Red adversaries.

BC:B is based off a wargame system used by the British Army to improve the tactical awareness of its junior officers. It is easy to learn and quick to play, and will appeal both to professional and hobby gamers looking to better understand combat on the modern battlefield.

Players control armour, infantry and reconnaissance units, HQ and A1 Echelon (support and supply) elements, artillery and reconnaissance and strike (FPV) drones. The illustrated maps in the game are real world and grid-based, no hexes.

The game emphasises the importance of planning prior to engagement, and rewards the execution of the plan using present-day Blue and Red combined arms techniques and doctrine.

Other key features are the importance of strong Command and Control, the need to minimise radio transmissions, the importance deception and reconnaissance, and the impact of troop quality and morale on outcomes.

The game comes with a training scenario and three full scenarios. These can be played individually or played in order as a ‘campaign’, whereby tactical success and force attrition can carry over to the next Scenario, impacting on the overall chance of campaign success.

Optional rules introduce among other things weather effects, ammo and casualty management and concealment.
