At the recent Wappinshaw and Carronade wargame shows, the Kirriemuir Wargames Club ran a participation game called "A Norse! A Norse! A Kingdom for my Norse!". Have a look at the wonderful scenery - quite spectacular by any standard, but particularly so for a participation game. Not sure what rules they used (Anyone know?).
There was also some other cracking looking games there, including a lovely 3D Space Hulk
And no, I didn't go (!) but I thought this was of sufficient Dark Ages gaming interest to generate a blog entry. The pics above were compiled from the following posts and are used with thanks!
