Blood Eagle - A Return to the Dark Ages.

Inspired by 'box-set' viewing of the TV series "Vikings" and the discovery of the new rules from The Ministry of Gentlemanly Warfare, "Blood Eagle", Robafett and I have decided to dust off the Viking and Saxon figures and get some good old fashioned Dark Ages gaming back to the table.

Glory or Valhalla!
