Here's a teaser intro and a couple of photos:
(And yes I like being silly with these things):

Mac Adder, the fishmonger, reports to his somewhat distant cousin Somairle, Lord of the Isles, that his daughter Angus (yes, Angus is a girl) has gone missing. He claims she was kidnapped by Thorfin the Timid, the lesser son of the Viking chieftain Ragnar the Unlucky. He further adamantly denies the rumors that she voluntarily eloped as vicious lies. Although the mighty clan Mac Adder has been raised, it is clearly nowhere near strong enough to deal with the powerful Ragnar and his ally Lagertha (also his ex-wife).

Somairle the Mighty (usually called "Sorley-Boy) isn't really all that concerned with the dealings of McAdder, but he is under Somairle's protection, thus making it an affair of honor. Besides, Mac Adder pays his taxes on time without protest. But as far as Somairle is concerned, it's just an excuse to smack some Vikings around.

As for Ragnar, he isn't all that concerned for the honor of this particular son either, but he hates his sobriquet and needs to fight battles, if he is to earn another. As for Lagertha, she couldn't care less about Thorfin or his "bride;" she's just hoping to nick some cattle and perhaps score some loot.

Good to see someone playing War and Conquest. Fully painted armies on a full board.
