The year is 871 AD and Alfred the Great is beginning his campaign to throw the Vikings out of Wessex. This is a 6 point SAGA scenario that pits an Anglo-Saxon shield wall against marauding Norsemen on their way to the next village to be plundered.

I love that debris on the gaming mat- it looks very natural. |

Thank you Codsticker……..I use a mix of 2 different colors of flocking and add in some sawdust for the larger particles……then I throw in some small pieces of lichen. |

Looks like a good game. As a note, Verizon warned me off from your site, saying McAfee had analyzed it and found viruses. |

Hey Jeffrey……thanks for the info…..I don't know of any problems with the blog site at all……but I'll check it out……might be a standard message……I get those all the time for new sites. |

Nice, but the Anglo-Saxon player was cheating.
You can't have 16 figure units in Saga. |

Actually…….even though the rules don't cover it…….the SAGA forums all cover combining points and having larger….or smaller units. The drawback to combining points into a unit reduces the number of battle board dice……so there's pros and cons with combining…….with the Anglo-Saxon bonuses for large units and the tendency to play defensive…..it's always a good idea. My very first Hcon game included combined points into large nits. |

You can combine points into large units (which is certainly covered by the rules) – but units must all be 4-12 figures.
The only exception is Athelstan's special ability which lets you have a hearthguard 'officer' with a unit of 12 warriors, for a total of 13.
Units of 16 are right out, I'm afraid, unless you are playing your own version of the rules. |
