This weekend the local HMGS-South group played a game of Pig Wars.
A Viking raiding party led by Eric the Black has been looting the Welsh countryside. Now Eric, his men, and their loot are headed back to ships hidden in large cove to the West of Din Ganwy on the northern coast of Wales. Unbeknownst to Eric, a force of English and Welsh led by Ian Gwynedd stands between the Vikings and their ships.

An English unit at the top of the photo has fallen back after a melee.
Both sides organize the lines for the final showdown. The remains of the Welsh bowmen return briefly, only to be slaughtered again.
The Vikings concentrate in the center against the few remaining defenders.
Since the Vikings clearly can not be stopped, the English and Welsh retire from the field.
