Saga Iron Man II

Saga Iron Man II at Wycombe Warband

On Saturday 18th May our club, Wycombe Warband, held our second Saga: Iron Man day - this time using version 2 of the rules. As usual, the splendid Rich Keenan supplied everything except the players - all the figures, terrain, battle boards, dice, measuring sticks and counters required, and even a few prizes!

Unfamiliar battle boards can require deep thought

Charge!

Seven tables with opposing warbands were set up, all with the same general terrain and simple scenario: six turns to score as many slaughtering points as possible, with some bonus points for your own troops that survived the carnage and whole units destroyed and left intact.

 We each played three games using and facing different matched pairs of factions during the day, and great fun and much mayhem was had by all. The day was an excellent opportunity for people to play unfamiliar factions and warbands that they would probably not have chosen themselves, in broadly historical match-ups. The warbands included factions from the Age of Vikings, Age of Invasions, and Age of Crusades universes, all made up from Gripping Beast figures.

Some types of terrain are tricky to stand up in

Congratulations to Jon for pipping Bruce to first place by a single point, and to everyone for coming along. And of course many thanks to Rich for making the whole day possible and so much fun.
