Boeotian War 378-371 BC - Midgard Rules

As luck would have it, these Greek hoplites are all based on multiple bases, all of 50mm frontage, meaning that three bases of any troop type can be combined to produce 15cm frontaged units. This is not far off the 12cm frontage required for units in Midgard wargame rules and certainly makes them very playable. In fact placing units on hills etc is more doable, as the three-sectioned units are more flexible to position in and round terrain.

In this game the Thebans were unceremoniously routed after catastrophically losing two engagements against the Spartan hoplites in the centre of the battlefield. As usual 'bad dice' were blamed! The Theban Sacred Band was destroyed and their famed general - Epaminondas - was slain. The Spartiates, meanwhile, bulldozed everything before them. This is despite the Theban light cavalry and peltasts making some progress on the wings.

Midgard in 20mm Gaul v Gaul

A game that demonstrates the flexibility of the Midgard system, as long as figures are on the same frontage bases. This is some kind of Gallic civil war using Italeri and Airfix 1/72 figures.

Midgard - Goths vs Vikings

More Midgard tonight. This time a Gothic army, fielding both cavalry and infantry, managed to defeat the Vikings after a number of extremely hard fought melees.
