Pillaging Normanns

 New set of rules, Pillage, based largely on the Middle earth battle game.  Worth a go I thought.

New rules.  Dark age skirmish with a focus on... Well... Pillaging. Man to man fighting and pig stealing.  It even includes some naval rules.

The Norman raiders, under the Earl.  All mounted at the moment.

And the village defenders, under the Bishop.  Mainly footmen.

The Bishop and a shot of my whacky Gandalf the cat t shirt.

I dismount some of the Earls men.

So far this counts be a small Lion Rampant game.

The Bishops men form up and go forwards.

Some good loot here.  The Earl gets his bowmen into the trees.

Turn one and the bow have a great shot.

The Earl skirts the duckpond

It ran smoothly.  I didn't really need the rulebook out.

The Bishop leads a charge

And the shooting was brushed off.

Fight in the village.  Some nice Victrix figures in my collection.

The Bishops archers do actually kill an enemy.

And the Earl charges home.

The Bishop is apparently mighty.

And 50% losses reached by the Earl who turns tail.  The Bishop is victorious.

Nice game.  I liked the single combat nature, and twenty figures a side level.  Pillage is useful as a skirmish game for limited numbers like this. I don't have the Vikings or Saxons to make this
