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.
Two narrowly fought contests were played out on Monday night. An group of marauding Arabs held off a concerted assault by a Frankish army, whilst a force of angry Skeletons just about defeated the Elven host. The former was played with Lion Rampant; the later with Dragon Rampant. Both are Osprey rule sets.
One of the highlights of the night was witnessing a couple of enslaved war trolls being goaded and whipped into battle by a couple of Elven women. Needless to say, this tactic didn't work that well. Both trolls were hacked to pieces by the nasty Skeletons.
Another win for the Saxons against the Orc horde. In Midgard, the Saxon shield wall is proving difficult to break....
