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)
Looks like fun! Saga is a cool game.
ReplyDeleteNice photo's and figs. Indeed being away for a bit can put you behind the curve, especially as you found out you have to know what the opponents battle boards are capable of. Looks like fun was had anyways and that's the best part!
