Midgard at Partizan

Once again James invited me to help out with his game at Partizan. I say "game" but it was in fact two games aiming to show off how Midgard works with different settings and scales.

I spent the day playing through the 15mm Degsastan scenario with chum Andy.

All the models are from James' collection. Wiglaf Saxons (on the left) and Forged in Battle Celtic types (on the right)

Unlike his 28s which use sabots these are based on 80mmx40mm movement bases from Warbases

It was a classic Dark age "across the river" barttle.

Yahtzee!

My greatest ever dice roll I reckon.

Completely wiped out a unit of Dal Riadan skirmishers.

Battle soon joined across the river.

The Saxons went ahead early...

But gradually the Scots forced them back

At one point the Scottish king found himself deserted by his men alone against the Saxons!

But I failed to finish him off 

And victory slipped from my grasp!

We played at a leisurely pace all day and had lots of great chats with people about the rules - "when's it coming out" being the main one. The answer to which was "It's in The Hands of the Lard" 

Over on the other end of the table James Pete and Martin were showing off the full mythic possibilities of the rules with Trolls, Dwarfs, Giants and of course Thor himself.

Again lots of interest and questions and busy all day long.

Partizan Pictures

I spent Sunday at Partizan helping show off James' forthcoming Midgard rules.

I'll share those pictures later this week, but I did also have a look around the show and took some pictures of things that caught my eye. I missed loads and didn't get names so this is just eye candy really.

This amazing WW2 Chain of Command table was just behind us in the Lard Zone. Operation Market Garden. Beautifully done and packed with details. Must have cost thousands just for the tufts!

Big old ECW/TYW something or other

Simon Miller's jaw dropping Battle of Ipsus. 

So. Many. Soldiers.

This ACW had lovely terrain in particular - I think this was First Corps putting this one on.

More Ancients of some sort.

Napoleonics on the table near us.

Another lovely looking ACW game.

Epic game - this got Chum Andy's blood flowing.

More Ancients (or possibly the same ancients as above)

Back to the Naps.

A good day out and some really lovely inspiring games on display.

Partizan Tomorrow

For anyone going to Partizan tomorrow I'll be helping chum James out with his Midgard games over in the Lardzone.

You'll find us here:

We'll be showing off the Rainbow Bridge game and you'll be welcome to come and throw some dice and try the rules out for size.

Do please come and say hello - hope to see you there.
