Some shots from our Agincourt game last night, the last game of the campaign. Using #Midgard. The French lost all of their cavalry early doors, which put a lot of strain on their Reputation score. Although the English centre was push back, the French force disintegrated. #wargaming

A hard fought Midgard game yesterday. The Battle of Formigny 1450. Fairly static for the first half with missiles being exchanged and the English trying to deal with the French Culverins before the French reinforcements arrived and fierce fighting broke out along the line. #wargaming

A mixed bag of more bits and pieces finished over the weekend. Seem to have found a bit of motivation now it's not too hot to move. First off is a few bits from my V&V Miniatures stash - A Norman commander and two Anglo-Saxon warlords. #wargaming

*Technically* you can't give a unit both of those Traits, with the caveat that it's your game so you can do whatever you like 😁 What about Brittle and Impetuous like French Heavy Foot in the HYW supplement? I find Relentless units just wind up killing themselves if they are generally a weak unit.

I've finished off Rifleman Harper, so here he is with his lieutenant. (The @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social Sharpe figures are specifically based on the first film, so Harper isn't a Sgt. yet and doesn't have his volley gun.) #wargaming

If you want to read about a battle that was fought during an eclipse 996 years ago, get the latest issue of Wargames Illustrated and read my article about the Battle of Stiklestad. #wargaming #eclipse
A page from the magazine showing the title of the article.A paragraph of text with only one line readable "why was the sky darkening on a bright summer's afternoon? Because the moon was moving between the Earth and the Sun!" Come to think if it, "Moon" should have been capitalised.
