Tom and I got a game of Saga in one night recently. He brought his Vikings, and ran them in 1 big unit of 8 Hearthguard, and 2 units of 12 Bondi plus a 12 strong levy archer unit. My Normans were my usual configuration of 2x4 mounted Hearthguard, 1x8 mounted hearthguard, 8 crossbows, and 12 archers. The mission was Clash of Warlords.
Tom's Vikings advance on the town.
 |
| Normans ride down the road to meet them. |
 |
| While the Warlord musters the troops. |
 |
| The Viking force. |
 |
| The combatants square off. |
 |
| The Normans must advance slowly through the field. |
 |
| The Vikings close the distance, under constant fire from the Norman missile troops. |
 |
| Viking Casualties stack up. |
 |
| Crossbows perform admirably. |
 |
| Despite their losses, the Vikings soldier on. |
 |
| Viking Hearthguard charge the large mounted unit, but the dice go poorly for them and they are ridden down. |
 |
| Leaving the way open for the Normans to crash into the Viking Bondi flank |
 |
| The casualties are tremendous, with the Normans victorious. |
 |
| Bondi assault the crossbows, and knock 5 men down. |
 |
| A secomd charge eliminates them. |
 |
| But in the end the Viking Warlord is left surrounded and alone- and he concedes the field. |
