Viking day Saturday 9th February

Simon,
The 7 out of 12 sixes came in our Western game on Saturday night. I'd forgotten about the other 'above average roll!

I may try to paint some cavalry for this.

martin goddard · November 29, 2018, 08:07:31 AM

A typical army would need about 20 packs of figures. £68. A fair bit of painting but the figures could be based for other games, due to the grid nature of Longships.
Big Mike has played more games than most. It was his idea to put it on the WWW. Good call Mike.
Maybe if the day goes well I can re-birth the campaign idea that only Sean and I fancied so far?

I can do a spare army no problem. If miles or Simon want to get in touch with me we can arrange a game or two I am sure! We could play at Enjoyment all day. How about that.

That's very kind, Martin. Shall we sort something out with Martin (in January?) off-line, Miles?

I think Stewart was up for it too. We could use the games from the day to count towards the campaign outcome. I'll have a think about how it might work.

Stewart 46A · November 29, 2018, 10:14:57 PM

I have booked the day off so will be available with two armies and a table set up

Sean Clark · December 09, 2018, 12:43:12 PM

Little bump to keep this in peoples thoughts.

The Kingdom of Wessex is at stake. Who shall triumph?

The ships are being readied

Some pre game practice.

Whoops - I'll get that News banner done too - sorry Sean!

I intend to be there with a Viking army. Wonder if Mike is bringing Carolingians?

Sean Clark · December 09, 2018, 07:22:23 PM

Yes Mike, bring your Caroliningians! I may bring Irish but I need some dogs.

I am happy to go with the flow. My main concern at the moment is to get the Beach head Assault game ready for Beachead in Febuary. But if and when required i ll play some vikings. I am not free in January until after the 13th. (27th December through to the 13th January it is Xmas catch up time.)

martin goddard · December 24, 2018, 06:35:18 PM

Is Mike brining Carolingians? Important news that people want to know. Those horse en make my infantry nervous. However they can at least be eaten if beaten ( a motto?).

Stewart 46A · December 24, 2018, 10:36:00 PM

I have asked Santa for some cavalry so hope to field a mounted force

Sean Clark · December 24, 2018, 11:28:36 PM

Not using your Irish war hounds Stewart? I have bad memories of them!

martin goddard · December 27, 2018, 05:03:14 PM

What preparations are folk making for this day?
