"It's been a while since we last had a game but this weekend I finally managed to clear enough space for one. Battle Ravens is a board game designed by Dan Mersey with graphics provided by Peter Dennis, both well known names in the gaming world, the former for rules systems and the latter for his excellent ranges of paper soldiers. The game is about combat in a Viking/Saxon shieldwall and comes with opposing 35mm armies of Peter's card mounted paper soldiers. Anthony thought it would be good to play using 54mm toy soldiers so I dusted off the Dark Ages collection and this is how it went…"

I've been meaning to comment on this. I have the box set and it's a fun little game. I was thinking I'd doing something similar in 10mm or 15mm over top of that game mat. |

Battle Ravens is a sadly underrated gem of a game. Dan Mersey considers it one of his best iterations of Dark Age shieldwall warfare. It's much more subtle than it looks and has a great period feel to it. Inspired by our game above I've decided to go for 54mm Irregular Miniatures figures on single 40mm round bases, Twelve such figures can just fit on one grid area of the game board, but I will do what Brian did and use movement trays to mark out the grid.
