Sorry, for the deleted postings. TMP is being TMP. Looking for a 28mm Viking option other than SAGA (which we enjoy playing). Are there any other good rules people on here enjoy? I am aware that Hail Caesar has a Viking supplement but have not yet tried that one. |

Tribal includes Vikings and is a skirmish game. |

Dux Britanniarum from Too Fat Lardiez is an excellent Dark Ages rule set that includes campaign system. |

Dux B is for the Arthurian period. You could probably adapt the combat rules easily enough, but the campaign system is very period and ethno-specific. |

Lion Rampant works but is very gamey. We gave up on it for our club where games are typically 6-8 players on large tables. Hail Caesar is for mass battles/big units. WarSword – a beta I play a lot – works great. Email me for an paly test copy. mark@scalecreep.com |

Strandhogg, but they might be kind of hard to find. I think that they are OOP. |

Shieldbash. It's fantasy, but a fantasy setting based around the Viking invasion of Britain. |

Thank you for all of these suggestions! Much appreciated. I had not heard of most of them before and now there's plenty to investigate. |

I'll second Tribal. A leader 2-3 heroes and a few units of five figures gives a good game. |

Strongsword = fantasy rules but low on magic. Works good for Vikings. Good for tactics. Lord of the Rings by GW = as above. Good for heroes. Melee by Steve Jackson. Good all round fun. |
