Tom and I got in 2 games of Saga one night, this being the second. With little time left, we decided to play the basic "Clash of Warlords". We thought it would be neat to have a burning village in the center. Why? Cause some men just want to watch the miniature world burn. Tom's warband consisted of one unit of 8 Hearthguard, 3 units of 8 warriors, and 1 unit of levy archers. My list was one unit of 8 Knights, 2 units of 4 knights, one unit of Sergeants with Crossbows, and a unit of peasant archers.

| Setup. All of my ranged weapons are in the small wood on the right. The Viking Horde deploys in a battle line. |
 |
| Burning hut |
 |
| The dirty vikings |
 |
| RAAARRRGGGHHH!! |
 |
| Knights! |
 |
| The burning village |
 |
| Tom rolls pretty well and then... passes his turn! |
 |
| Loading up for one good bow shot. Stupid Vikings- we'll teach them to stand around! |
 |
| Loose! |
 |
| The horde begins advancing |
 |
| Crossbows advance to fire on the Vikings |
 |
| Concentrated fire begins taking its toll! |
 |
| This is a later turn, I forget which. Probably top of 3. |
 |
| chaaaarge! |
 |
| Oh... |
 |
| Tom's Hearthguard advance |
 |
| Get ready to shoot! |
 |
| Ouch. Good shooting. |
 |
| Tom's bows assault into my big Hearthguard unit |
 |
| More shootiness! |
 |
| Vikings: Norman Pin Cushions |
 |
| Hearthguard to finish off the bows! |
 |
| After the charge. (Note: all those figures behind the Warlord are dead) |
 |
| The end is nigh! |
 |
| Tom's 4 warriors are all tooled up to charge and wipe out the Hearthguard (a good trade in points, even knowing his warriors will all likely die) |
 |
| No man left standing |
 |
| The 2 surviving Norman Hearthguard prepare for the final charge. |
 |
| Tom's warlord stands firm! |
 |
| But falls before the Norman cavalry. |
This was an interesting game- my ranged weapons were absolutely on FIRE. Tom is getting a feel for his battleboard though, and this game still could've gone either way. I had a great time getting some games in- I really need to paint my Scots!
