New edition of SAGA

[Walters]

Tony, thanks for the two games yesterday, they were very bloody!

I was having a look at the Viking supplement and there are a number of factions that can be almost entirely mounted:
The Welsh, The Normans (Bretons), The Carolingians, The Lombards (whuch use the Goth battleboard from Aetius and Arthur), The Steppe Peoples (using the Hun board) or The Umayyads (Moorish board from Age of Crusades - yet to be published).

Also, some of the Swords for Hire units are mounted (Breton Cavalry and Steppe Nomads) which can be used in Anglo-Dane and Viking forces respectively.

Personally I might add the Shieldmaiden Mercenaries - a Valkyrie and 5 Shieldmaidens sound epic if I can find some suitable models!

Also, I just noticed you can now spend 2 of your opponents fatigue to completely cancel one of their activations.

They were bloody but enjoyable!

I think I might look at getting some Breton mercenaries to go with the Anglo Danes in the short term with possibly a view to trying Breton/Normans in the medium term.
Plus I will learn more of the rules!
