I've posted another battle report on my blog from the fifth century A.D., featuring a Saxon raid on one of the farmsteads surrounding St Albans in Southern England.

Bone-white cold was the morning
When we stalked from the shadows,
Battle ready, with the keenness of ravens
Scenting the morning's prey.

Hope you enjoy the photos, even if not the poetry!

Thanks Pogle. Vincent is correct – yes, TooFatLardies are working on a set of Dark Age battle and campaign rules, and this was one of the play-test games. I shuold have mentioned – almost all figures were purchased from the very helpful chaps over at Gripping Beast.
