Three pieces of terrain were placed (two swamps and a large forest) which I hoped to use to break up the Viking warriors. I combined my Hearthguard into a single 8 man ‘shock unit’ to try and overwhelm one flank, accepting the loss of a SAGA dice for the extra hitting power.
Initial Welsh deployment - strong on the left flank! |
The Horns of the Welsh Buffalo close in, but not strong enough to intimidate the Norsemen! |
Welsh retire to the covers of the woods after taking casualties |
Great dark Ages action: a Warlord Mano-a-Mano duel ! |
Note to self No 3: There is no shame in loosing your first match to a tournament champion! (link)
SAGA is a game I'm getting more and more interested in, especially for the Normans and Vikings. Good to hear the Irish are making an entrance.
ReplyDeleteNo shame at all Paul:D
ReplyDeleteThanks Fran, but for how many times is this excuse valid? :-)
DeleteHow I have missed your Dark Age content :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Dan - More to come I can assure you!
DeleteSounds great mate. To many periods not enough time..... sigh
ReplyDeleteSounds like one of those wonderful game nights that happen not nearly often enough. Saga is a lot of fun, glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteSounds & looks like a fun game :)
ReplyDeleteSaga is such a good game. Very easy to collect and store with the small amount of figures required. Easy to pick up the rules and not so easy to master.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Glad to see some more Dark Age action. I was missing this blog series.
ReplyDeleteThis is the blog that got me interested in Dark Age miniatures. I'm glad to see some of that content returning. The minis look great by the way.
ReplyDeleteHigh praise indeed - thanks!
DeleteThese are Alan's figs and yes they are lovely!
