The Battle of Clontarf - Good Friday 1014
« on: 25 October 2022, 12:27:13 PM »
I put on the Battle of Clontarf at the club last night, using Lion Rampant. Irish and Norse against Norse and Irish.
Take a look on the link below:

A great looking game and one of my fave battles form the 11th CE.

It has everything, romance, betrayal and lots of (dice rolling) violence! :)

Irish and Norse against Norse and Irish.

An important distinction - as Brendan Behan famously said, "When Irish nationalists meet, the first item on the agenda is invariably 'the split'!"
No plan survives first contact with the dice.

Great looking game!  The chubby priest is a nice extra as well.  Who makes him, do you know?
