Title: Blood Eagle Battle reports, The Raid & Spoils
Post by: shadowking1957 on 28 March 2016, 06:53:48 PM
 Blood eagle is the latest release from the  wonderful Charles Murton and Craig Cartnell line of wargame rules, published by Northstar, I received my copy on Saturday and well IHMN is perhaps my favourite game so me and Alec decided we must go for it today.
after a good read i composed  Warbands of warriors  Three based out of the books  and one of my own. we had a quick look and  followed the rules of setting up the game and  terrain . we chose the "Raid" as the first game  and Alec set up the table as its one of his pleasures, I decided not to alter anything and we set out the  conditions and complications

The next game as we had time was the second in the book "Making off with the spoils" one side must exit the opposite corner with the spoils of a raid, encumbered by loot and slaves they are ambushed by the other, I decided to use  a war band of my own creation based on my  characters from long ago and featured in many of my games

Full Battle reports on my blog and my review of the game

The book is a lovely  composition with great examples and pictures to inspire . It is easy on the eye to read , if you never played IHMN  nothing will stop you getting into the rules and concepts with ease. great war bands and  ideas to pick. find your miniatures work out your war band and off you go!
