Recently I had a quick work trip back to Oz and caught up with a few of the lads when club mate Gav treated me to a demo game of Midguard, set in the Trojan Wars era.
 |
| Patroclus challenges Glaucos! |
Really enjoyed the rules and the way that heroes are at the forefront of decision making. Their inspiration (or lack of) can make decisive impact both immediately overall to Force morale. Particularly apt for Homeric warfare but equally at home in Dark or Middle Ages.
 |
| Ajax the Mighty surveils the field! |
 |
| Sarpedon and his Lycan Warriors |
 |
| 6 players with lots of figs and the game system didnt struggle |
Interesting to see mechanics from many sets of rules (like
Lion Rampant and SAGA) which meant these felt rather familiar
 |
| Greek and Trojan Chariots and light Cavalry clash on the flank |
Definitely want to play these rules again!
That looks epic - pun intended. I'm about to set up another game with these rules. They have much to recommend them and it's good to have them supported on the author's site e.g. I just found the errata sheet and made the minimal alterations. I look forward to finding more army lists others have composed.

ReplyDeleteThanks Ray! You know it will be well worth the effort! :-)
DeleteGreat stuff! Excited about this game. Looking forward to getting some bases later this year and braking out the LOTR Dwarves etc or painting up some more Foundry Vikes. Already have the goblets though. :-)
