Mortem et Gloriam...et Pillage

Some nice images from a MeG ancients game and a scenario from the Pillage Medieval Skirmish rule set were played at the club on Monday.

A Brace of Dark Ages/Medieval Games

Pagan Saxons take on a warband of Norsemen. The Saxons were aided by an enslaved Ogre - Grendell (acting as a level 2 hero). He was forced to fight for his supper, but mainly just stomped about in a swamp for most of the game. 

The highlights of the game were two hero challenges. The Norse commander slew the Saxon level 2 hero(es) - the brothers Hengist AND Horsa. Later the Saxon warlord slew the level 2 Norse hero. All in all, the Saxons achieved a hard fought victory.

Byzantines defeat a foce of western Norman knights. Most figures are by Fireforge Games.

Old Vikings vs New Vikings - Midgard Clash

We witnessed a Midgard clash between 'Old' Vikings against 'New' Vikings. The 'Old' are 25mm metal sculps from manufacturers such as Essex and Minifigs (amongst others), which really stand the test of time. They were pitted against the 'New', in the form of Victrix, Footsore and Sally4th Miniatures.

In the end, the Old Boys soundly defeated the New Upstarts by ensuring maximum impact from their charges, rammed home at the centre of the line.
