Viking Raid!

Had to post a link to The Southern Strategists blog as they have just played a raid scenario on their incredible game board using the Strandhogg rules. I must say I am pretty inspired by their set up! Great stuff...

GB SAGA Rules Get Release Date!

SAGA Rulebook.

(from the Gripping Beast website.)


Saga is a game for model soldiers set in the Viking Age when strength and bravery were worth a thousand men. This rulebook contains all the necessary information you need to discover the SAGA gaming system. You will find not only all the game rules, but also a selection of scenarios to get you started plus four of the factions involved in the wars of the Viking Age (Anglo-Danish, Vikings, Welsh and Normans – with more to be published.) With plenty of illustrations, step-by-step examples and diagrams, learning the game mechanisms is simple and intuitive.
Less than thirty models per side are needed to start playing, so get ready to immerse yourself in this age of heroes and write your own saga.
SAGA uses ordinary D6 dice and special SAGA Dice and to play the game, each player will need their own set of SAGA Dice. SAGA Dice are six sided and covered in special Warband specific symbols. There is a section in the rulebook explaining a Do-It-Yourself solution for SAGA Dice or you can buy one of our lovely specially commissioned SAGA Dice sets.
NB ALL PRODUCTS IN THE SAGA SECTION ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER!
THEY WILL BE SHIPPED THE WEEK BEGINNING 19th SEPTEMBER!

ALL PRE-ORDERS FOR THE SAGA RULESET (including any deals) OR THE SAGA PAINT SET COME WITH FREE EXCLUSIVE SVEN FORKBEARD FIGURE (pictured above.) Supplied unpainted. Sculpted by Bill Thornhill.
