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 12 men Viking warrior unit charges the 4 Anglo-Danish hearthguard unit.
 
 
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.

  1. 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 :-)

  5. Nice looking game! Saga tends to be fairly bloody...I find with Vikings berserkers aren't usually worth bothering with.
