Strandhogg Viking Age Skirmish Rules 793–1066 A.D.
Fall In 2005 Award-Winning Rules Now In Stock!
Take the field as a powerful Norman Lord, Saxon Ealdorman or Viking Jarl, in a 1:1 skirmish adventure. With each player assuming command of up to 3 twelve-man warbands, play is fast, fun and unpredictable. Gather your forces using troops such as Warriors, Berserkers, Ulfhednar, Archers, Slingers and Levy. Of course what would a strandhogg be without some unsuspecting Town's Folk and livestock! It's all there.
Strandhogg utilizes a command & control-based movement system, simultaneous melee, and a unique missile-fire resolution process. Unit and individual morale and courage as well as weapons such as spears, bows, 2-handed axes and slings are all modeled, to name a few. These rules work equally well for skirmishes in the Ancient period.
The rules, available at Brigadegames.com for $20 USD, include a 64-page 5½ by 8½ rulebook, 1 each of Viking, Norman & Saxon Player Record Sheets, 1 page of charts, missile fire templates and 1 set of The Bones special-event cards. You supply the scenarios. Fortunately there is no shortage of Viking adversaries: Normans, Saxons, Franks, Moors, Anglo-Saxons, Picts, and Hibernians, just to name a few...
