James came over to play another Midgard game - the second of our quite slow burning campaign.
We were playtesting one of the campaign scenarios, in this case Artos, triumphant after his last victory was waylaid as he made off with his booty and caught in a Saxon trap.
Noble British warriors with their cart head home triumphant
They've even got some liberated cows with them.
Barring the way a frankly puny Saxon force.
Ready to sweep Saxons aside.
Hairy barbarian archers - no match for Big British shields.
Oh, hang on, there's some more of them on the right!
Artos heads straight for the blockade line.
The hairy barbarian archers withdraw to the woods, from where they will continue to be very annoying.
The trap begins to close.
Artos is punching through but the right flank is under pressure.
Can the defenders hold on to their cows?
No. And Old Man Merlin seems unlikely to hold them up much.
More Saxons threaten the left.
As the right flank attackers break through.
In the end the Saxons had recaptured too many of Artos' prized possessions and claimed the victory.
A hard fought but very enjoyable fight which saw a high death toll amongst the heroes.
Looked a great game Tom.
