It was time today for a second game of 'Pillage' a fast moving skirmish game. Ian brought along his Saxon force led by the brave and redoubtable Waermund. Nigel and I were acting as Vikings led by the fierce yet Christian warrior Amund. The table was set up ready for the scenario where one side had to lead 3 priests to safety by getting them across the board to safety. I added a small farm to the terrain to tempt players into a bit of pillaging.

Peace and quiet at the little farm.
Nigel took control of a viking berserker and a few other troops. In the background the hazy figures are all Saxons.
The view from the Saxon (Ian) side of the table.
On my side of the table tactics were fairly basic. After exchanging a couple of rounds of archery Ian and I crashed into each other in a fast and fierce melee.
In this photo Amund was bravely taking on Waermund despite being outnumbered by the sneaky saxon on his flank.
Elsewhere, Nigels men charged into Ian's other troops and soon got the upperhand.
Amund sent the priests to hide in the woods whilst he battled it out with the Saxon foe. Trying to achieve the game objective was largely forgotten whilst the troops battled.
Waermund's last stand. Now on his own Waermund battled until the end.
A good victory for the Vikings who one assumes now led the priests safely across the board as there were no Saxons left to pester them.
Great fun.
Fun stuff. Lovely looking minis and terrain.
