Viking raid.

Last Fridays game with the lads was a Dark Age raid on a neighbouring village. This was a practice game for the Southern Strategists game that is on tonight. We are using Lion Rampant rules with some miner changes.

A bunch of Vikings having raided a nearby village were on their return journey loaded with loot. The locals have mustered a force together and are waiting in ambush.

If the locals can prevent the raiders from crossing the river with their ill gotten gains they win.

The raiders leaving the town.



The locals start coming out of the trees to stop the raiding party.

The locals are trying to cut off the escape route.


The locals come in from both sides but the raiders are heading straight for home.


 In the end the raiders were a bit too strong for the locals and they managed to get away with the loot.

I will have to even up the numbers for tonight's game.

  6. Great game Rodger and currently watching Vikings box set so now thinking maybe a small warband would be ok to add to the collection.
