This game featured repurposed Saga armies. Mine was using sabots, but Dave had gone all out and rebased his. His figure density gives a better look, but I am happy just to be getting some extra life out of my figures.
Terrain was sparse and I've even doctored the image of the wood to give it some more trees.
The Vikings hold back their centre.
Their heavy foot is significantly weaker than the Old Saxons.
It might not look it, but the Vikings have deployed as large units
to match the Old Saxons.
However the Saxons gain a benefit from this formation being classed as warbands (due to them being impetuous). For the Vikings it just gives them a little bit of staying power.
Well, the Vikings get the first strike, but it doesn't go well.
But they press on and things develop somewhat.
Clash of the centres and the Viking hold, for now.
But with the Old Saxons throwing double or more dice than the Vikings,
and Dave's new lucky dice at that,
losses start to mount.
However the Vikings are cheap unlike their opponents.
Both sides came to within one unit of breaking,
but the force was with the Old Saxons.
A close up of the action
And a new figure in my collection,
rescued from discarded parts and restored to operational status.
I am going to call him Young Dave.
