The Vikings advance closer.

4 of the Anglo-Danish hearthguards die, but the Viking 4 men hearthguard unit is wipedout.
The Anglo-Danish warrior unit advance closer the the Viking berserkers.
The Viking Berserkers charge the 8 men warrior unit.
But only mange to kill 4 warriors.

The hearthguard unit is wipedout for the loss of 4 warriors.
TURN 5
The 8 men Anglo-Danish warrior unit and the Warlord, charges the 8 men Viking warrior unit.
But loses the combat and is forced back.
The Anglo-Danish move his forces closer.
The Viking Warlord and 4 warriors charge the 4 men strong Anglo-Danish warrior unit.
All of the Anglo-Danish warriors are killed but none on the Vikings side die.
TURN 6
The Anglo-Dansih warlord and 4 warriors charges the 3 Viking warriors.
2 of the Anglo-Danish warriors die but all 3 of the Vikings die.
The Viking warlord takes his 4 last warriors and makes a final charge against the Anglo-Danish warlord and in the carnage manage to slay the Anglo-Danish warlord.
End Game.
In the last move of the game the Viking warlord mange to slay the enemy warlord and a victory for the Vikings.
Bout me and Peter has a great time playing this game but we forgot the rule about when a unit is destroyed close to a friendly unit, that unit will get a fatigue counter.
Hope you all like this batrep and comments are welcome.

Sounds like a typically brutal and bloody game of dark age SAGA! The Vikings did well to bounce back from some early set backs. The large units of Warriors can achieve a lot in my experience. Vikings are at their best when attacking other units, but it seems the Anglo-Danes have a few tricks up their sleeves too! Glad you enjoyed it, looking forward to more reports :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a bloody end! Nice batrep with nice pictures, love your Berserkers!
ReplyDeleteFantastic report!!! Love yours minis
ReplyDeleteWow, not many people left alive at the end of that battle!
ReplyDeleteClose fought battles are the best! Great figs!
ReplyDeleteNice looking game! Saga tends to be fairly bloody...I find with Vikings berserkers aren't usually worth bothering with.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking game and figures; I have to admit that I've not played Saga much - but I do have the Crescent & the Cross rule book.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the report! Looks like fun:)
