Still my "go-to" rule-set for Dark Age battles (as opposed to skirmishes)<br />TomTWDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09921046811399998400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830353542180186213.post-72719307874518971922013-09-20T09:30:23.273+01:002013-09-20T09:30:23.273+01:00What a fantastic looking game!
