Heroes Or Villains

Suitably inspired by our recent outing with the new Midgard rules I have added to post Roman Britannia collection.

Myrooin, a wizard. Figure from Footsore Miniatures.

Raeowulf the Cursed, a Wiglera. Figure from Gripping Beast 

An unamed hero or champion that can go on either side. A figure from Footsore Miniatures.

Another unamed hero or champion to go with either side. Again the figure is from Footsore Miniatures.

Now onto terrain, a scenario in Midgard features a hill with salient points that if held gain the occupying side extra reputation. Author James in one of the introductory videos played this one and used standing stones to mark them. This reminded me of a "buy it when you see it not when you need it" moment a few years back.

Queqe these items from the set suitably based.

No game next week as I am away for a few days, so until next time...........

Midgard The First

As the title suggests I took my forces of Aelle and Artos over to GHQ for the inaugural game of Midgard:Heroic Battles.

Aelle

Artos

Aelle's force from the sample list in the rule book.

Artos's force from the sample list in the rule book.

A general advance by the forces of Artos commences hostilities.

Not to appear faint hearted to his troops Aelle responds in kind.

Despite being our first game the turns zip along. Aelle being the first to lead one of his Hearthguard charging into Artos's foot Comitatus gaining extra reputation.

Over on the other flank the rival skirmishers trade arrows.

In the centre Aelle's Hearthguard destroy the Comitatus leaving Artos's nephew to fight alone or lose reputation and retire to the relative safety of other unit.

Things we're going better with Kai leading his tribal Levy and routing their enemy only to be destroyed by the supporting Saxon Duguth in turn.

Things were looking bad when the Saxon skirmishers charged and destroyed their counterparts.

Wait! On the other flank the Saxon Osric is killed the unit he was leading destroyed with loss of more reputation.

Worse was to come things had turned bad for Aelle the Hearthguard he was leading are destroyed. He must fight on alone or lose reputation which he cannot afford to do.

Aelle's vessel runs dry.

However another destroyed Saxon unit elsewhere seals their fate anyway.

A victory for the forces of Artos and a splendid first game, five turns and two hours of play including set up and rule checking. A big thumbs up for Midguard from us both, another game in a couple of weeks we enjoyed it so much.

Until next time.............
