The Lone Star Open is tabletop wargaming at its finest! Come battle it out with the best of the best at this Texas-sized event and see if you are worth your salt!
This main tournaments will all take place on Saturday July 20th and Sunday July 21st.
While all Frontline Gaming Events are special, the LSO in particular is especially special as the event is dedicated to our community members who are (or have been) part of The US Armed Forces. Special perks will be offered to both currently serving and formally serving military personnel. One of these perks is access to a limited room block purely for military personnel with a rate even lower than our already discounted room block!!!! Several of the tournaments will also be formatted to highlight any military personnel playing them. For example, the 40K Champs event will have members representing each of the military branches, who will be competing to settle just which of the US Military branches is the best, and earn the honor of being Frontline Gaming’s Branch Champ! More details on this unique twist to this 40K Championship event to come.
The Lone Star Open, is held in the Marriott Dallas Allen Hotel & the attached Watters Creek Convention Center (777 Watters Creek Blvd, Allen, TX 75013), just North of Dallas Texas, and across the street from over 50 restaurants, bars, and shops right outside the front door at Watters Creek, a resort-style mixed-use development. The Marriott hotel attached to the convention center, has a two highly discounted room blocks which Frontline Gaming has secured for event players which can only be accessed here:

NEW FOR LSO 2024- Saturday Night Social!
On Saturday night, after we are all done rolling dice, there will be a social hosted by the US ARMY Esports team. This will be open to all regardless of if you are Army or not and players from all game systems are invited to join in! This will be a fun way to swap stories from the day over a drink with your buddies. We hope to see everyone as this social as we take over a restaurant!!!! Details regarding the venue and the specific time of the social, will be provided closer to the event’s launch.
Also NEW FOR LSO 2024- LVO-Style Mini High Roller Packages!
