Normans without Levy Bowman? You are a brave commander, indeed!
ReplyDeleteI took Crossbows instead and wanted to get all my horses on the field!
DeleteIn fact, I need some more mounted Warriors.
I really like taking 3 units of them in my Warband, and then field them as two 12 man units.
I fin the extra resilience and hitting power is well worth loosing a single SAGA die
Great looking figures, I need to get back on my Normans/ Bretonnians.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sean - I'll look forward to some pics of your Frenchmen then!
DeleteFantastic looking game, good to see the Normans get the win! So did you have crossbowmen, three points of warriors in organised into two big units and then two points of Hearthguard as one unit? Bigger units would be great with Normans, help counter their fragility, and I suppose less SAGA dice but less units to activate too!
ReplyDeleteThats what I wanted to do (having had lots of success that way with Vikings), and certainly what the Dane-Saxon alliance did (having been on the receiving end of my Vikings!). However I didn't have enough mounted warriors to do that.
DeleteWhat I took was a Mounted Warlord, 1 Mounted Hearthguard, 2 Mounted Warriors, 1 Foot warriors with Crossbows and 2 foot Warrior units (to take and hold the hill). My Norman ally had a similar mix
Great looking game, these pictures are splendid, as are the armies, and the fight for the hill most impressive!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil!

Wow, great stuff! Got to get my Vikings done pronto!!
