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