This weekend the local HMGS-South group played a game of Pig Wars. Five bands of Viking, Saxon and Welsh warriors descended on a village market while one band of Normans attempted to defend it.

To the north, the Norman crossbowmen (foreground) shoot at an attacking band in the woods.
To the south, careful negotiations keep peace among the plunder-hungry Saxons, Vikings and Welsh.
Vikings plunder the church and find…. a pig!
The Normans are now in a three-way shooting match.
The Welsh are holding an archery contest. Unfortunately, some arrows miss and hit Normans in the back. The village idiot is still sitting.
Viking and Welsh cooperate to systematically loot the town.
Norman ranks form up….
…and then receive a charge.
The last Normans are shot down by Welsh bowmen.
The Welsh just edged out a Viking band in loot (they had to count the geese and pigs) to win the game. No other bands came close, although the Normans will be honored for dying to a man to defend this squalid little village.
