Midgard: Battle of Wakefield
« on: 01 January 2025, 05:29:11 PM »
James, Chris and I recently played a version of the Battle of Wakefield, heavily indebted to the scenario from Etic the Shed.

Although the chroniclers don't mention snow, it was December and Oop North, so we gave the wintry mat a run out.



An arrow storm heralded the start of the battle as the lines closed



York attempted to fight his way clear



But Roos' cavalry cut off young Rutland's escape



You can read a report and see more pictures on my blog:

If you prefer a video, handily I've done that too!

Beautiful stuff. I have heard very good things about Midgard, I will have to watch your video and read a few of the reviews in my wargaming magazines.

Enjoyed the video. It’s a useful way to see how the rules play out.
