Perfect time! TMP link Can you tell me about it? What period does it focus on, if any? Worth the price? Thanks so much for your time and efforts. |

Sure does look interesting but "Dark Ages" usually means Saxons, Normans and Vikings ca. 1066 in wargamers' parlance. |

Sure does look interesting but "Dark Ages" usually means Saxons, Normans and Vikings ca. 1066 in wargamers' parlance. Odd. I would take the coming of the Vikings as the early Medieval period. Dark Ages refers to a period where there is little in the way of written history…usually starting about 410AD and heading on to the first Viking Invasion. You certainly could claim the dark Ages ended a good bit before that but we tend to know plenty about the Norsemen and the various "Germanic" tribes that inhabited Britannia by then. |

"Odd. I would take the coming of the Vikings as the early Medieval period" I agree. |

Amazon.ca lists it as pre-order – where is it for sale already? |

I bought it for the Kindle. Haven't had a chance to read any yet. It gives a set of rules and places to visit in Britain, army lists. Really a beginners guide but a nice reference starting with Picts etc and moving to Hastings. Location photos as well. |
