blackshawgaming.wordpress.com/2018/12/15/saga-book-of-battles After an analysis of the new Saga Book of Battles we tried out the first scenario at the club, Anglo Danes taking on Normans in a 4-pointer to escort baggage off the table.

Nicely written and a good read. Thanks for posting. 😀

I'm afraid purchasing this will wait to see whether they properly play-tested it, if I buy it at all. I lost interest after the 7 pages of errata that followed within weeks of the release the new rulebook and two source books and boards I bought. So there's my moaning on the issue.

From my analysis of sceanrio 1 and some thought on the others I doubt that all of the scenarios are finely balanced. Scenario 1 is definately a hard slog for the baggage guards. The content is all stuff that really should have been in the basic book. If you are going to buy into the system you probably need it. I was equally not impressed by the errata on some of the battle boards soon after the v2 release.
