This large Sunday game was based on the decisive battle between the Saxons led by Ethalston against a combined force of Scots, Welsh and Irish lead by Olaf Guthfrithson, King of Dublin. Details of the battle come from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles and the poem ‘Battle of Brunanburh’. IMG_2207.JPG King ...

Hi Ratty The 'A' class infantry not having to follow-up into the vacated hex is on page 12 of the rule book, or somewhere close! Rules update! The updated text is complete and has been for a while.

Scenic scatter is cloured, freeze...

Yes, its rather rather good isn't it. Dave Mac should be taking commisions! He uses his own formula scatter and system for flocking.

In this scenario we were using the battlegroup rule system, adapted to hexes, to fight a contact engagement between British and German reconnaissance units. The terrain layout was provided by Dave Mack and is typical of the terrain encountered inland from the Normandy beaches. My German recon unit c...
