Forcing the Pass Scenario - Midgard

In an epic confrontation between a Viking army and a "Goth-ish" type Dark Age army. The game wasn't settled until the last roll of the dice.

Highlights included:

1. An enslaved Ogre Champion slaying a Viking minor hero in personal combat before the battle.

2. A Gothic minor hero being cut down in the first cavalry charge.

3. Waves of horse flesh crashing upon the defended high ground. 

4. The Viking Huscarls, with their commander, charging successfully several times to keep their army in the match

4. On the last roll of the dice, the Viking commander was slain, resulting in the Viking force disintegrating.

This one really could have gone either way. The Goths were down to just 3 reputation points at the end. All in all, very entertaining.

Dark Age Pillage and Midgard

Some Dark Age fun with Vikings defeating Saxons, who were defending a stockade, in one engagement and also managing to successfully pillage a Saxon village in another. All in all, a bad night for the Saxons.

Dark Ages - Pillage

A brace of games set in the Dark Ages using the 'Pillage' skirmish rules system and scenarios. One game saw the Vikings see off a raiding party of Saxons; the other a deadly struggle between two competing clans of Rus.

These rules have proven to be popular at the club, partly because the game play mechanisms are relatively straightforward. The key to the games are the scenario settings provided in the rule book, which seem to keep players entertained for an evening's gaming.
