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.
Saxons in the village surrounded by pigs, chickens, children, women and clerics.
A bow-armed Saxon levy on the ridge sees two Viking warbands approach.
The Saxon bowmen fire and retreat behind the ridge while Norman units rush to the left and right flanks.
Norman bows and crossbows pepper the Vikings on the wings. A strong Viking attack in the center causes many Saxon casualties and opens a hole in the shieldwall.
The Saxon counterattack destroys two Viking units. The Vikings depart, satisfied with their captured pigs, chickens and children.
In terms of combat the game was fairly even, but the Vikings left with enough loot to call it a victory.

All four players rolled for initiative and took their turns accordingly.
