SAGA Dark Age AAR Vikings vs Normans and Saxons

On Saturday the local HMGS-South group played a dark age skirmish game using SAGA rules at the Dogs of War shop. This four-player game pitted the Saxons defending a village against two allied Viking warbands intent on loot. A Norman warband arrives to support the Saxons.

In terms of combat the game was fairly even, but the Vikings left with enough loot to call it a victory.
