Celts v Fomorians with James and Martin

On Wednesday evening James and Martin came round for a game of James' heroic fantasy game rules. The working title of the rues is Midgard and they're aimed at creating reasonably big battles for heroic mythical settings. In this case we'd be fighting Celts against Fomorians.

I won't say much about the rules as they're still work in progress, but they worked very well and gave a quick and easy game with a good balance between units and their heroic leaders.

If anyone is interested we'll be showing off the game (and James' fantastic collection of soldiers) at the Hereward show in Peterborough on Sunday 1st September.

 The Fomorians are mostly from Alternative Armies with a few Northstar ones in the mix.

 The Celts are mostly from Northstar

 The game uses base widths and half base widths for movement - hence the measuring sticks

 James' Tuatha de Danaan are Red Book of the Elf King models

We were testing chariot rules. Wouldn't be bronze Age Ireland without some javelin hurling from chariots, would it?

The battle was finally resolved when Nuada cut down the Fomorian witch.

Great fun to play and really good company. It'll look even more spectacular on James' fab Celtic scenery.
