My Six point SAGA Viking Army

Here is a picture of my six point SAGA Viking army on my game table shortly after it fought in the Ottawa Miniatures Gamers (OMG) annual tournament that was held on Sunday November 6, 2016. This years tournament  was a SAGA rules tournament using six point Dark Age armies.   How went the day?   My Vikings were victorious in all three battles defeating Saxons, Danes and other pesky enemies to win the tournament.

I look forward to playing more games of SAGA with League members. As you can see the painting commitment is not that big as only around 33 to 41 appropriate 28mm figures are needed.   Hearthguard are 4 figure groups, Warriors 8 figures and Levies (missile weapons) 12, the leader is just 1 figure.  The Leader is free and each of the other groups is worth one point, games are typically 6 points per side, but sometimes small games with just 4 points per side are played.  The rules are very innovative in that they use a dice board that dictates the actions the figures can take. There is also a fantasy variant army called Revenants I am curious to try out.

Honours of War

One of our members has returned to the area and brought his armies with him.

Flames of War Early War

This was a 15mm Flames of War ( FoW) game set in Malay in late 1941,  Japanese versus Allies (Commonwealth).  It was hosted by me on Sunday 13 November 13, 2016 and I also played on the British side.



This game had 4 players and some spectators, including The Ronin North of the River  Each player had 1,000 FoW points worth of troops and the game lasted 4 turns.   The Japanese proved to be very effective, especially attacking at night in the jungle,  see the special FoW rules for them here:
