Having not played Saga in just over 2 years I wheeled out the Vikings (in a no Cross & Crescent allowed) event in Reading today - and demonstrated how important it is to practice, finishing with nul points out of 3 games.
Admittedly there were times when I didn't have the rub of the green - facing Jomsvikings and their movement-denying Wrath tricks in a scenario where you had to move your troops around to occupy table quarters, and then a previously unseen internet-only Anglo-Danish monstrosity which had three units of un-killable fully armoured Warriors who I had to try and cut through to Kill the Leader... although forgetting I had the option to re-roll 29 dice in one attack also played a part!
Anyway, the mostly-Foundry figures got out of the foam padding and onto the table, so that bit was a success.
Here are some photos of the boys in action (click on any image to see the full size version)
