Title: All military operations have been suspended!!!
Post by: Harry Faversham on November 19, 2020, 12:17:49 PM
Good job I've got all the tackle for the Crimbo wargame sorted as my lad's slipped Daddio a right crippler! He's bought a kind of repro ancient looking journal/diary thingy, and as a Crimbo prezzie for my Grandson, Daddio will fill it full of Viking Sagas and copious illustrations. Deflection tactics by educating him that Vikings didn't write their crap down, the saga thingys were aural, got me nowhere fast. Where, in Odin's name, will I glean inspiration for this one... thinking more Noggin the Nog than Ragnar and Lagertha!!!???

You can get some bookmagzine things from Smiths, if you can still find one open in Lockdown. Has a mix of historical overview background and lots of pictures and illsutrations. Has one covering the Sagas for more mythic than history and covering general society and 1066. Otherwise the Kwaransky publications prob worth picking up that focuses on the Vikings.
Either way should give lots of Viking eye candy for inspiration.

Some reading without loads of extra adverts popups etc , although to stick to theme you might want to get your boy to read it out loud to you so its proper aural..
