fyrd - archery practice

Earldorman Rodor and one of his houscarls chat with the 'bard'...

Rodor then watches some of the local fyrd at archery practice...

Some more wattle fencing ...

I've added to my scenics, this time some wattle fencing from Renedra. Nice fencing, each sprue (frame) provides about ~75cm of fencing including a gate. 

Vikings Set Sail ..

Sven Eriksen and his warbands set off on a new voyage .....

Thorin halftooths scouts have been active in the area, and have already noted these obstructions in the area, not previously recorded on the map they have. His newly raised band is only awaiting a favourable wind to fall on the defenceless saxons.

Some new hills for the Scenics ...

A couple of new hills to add to my scenics, in the foreground a Gale Force 9 rocky outcrop and in the background a Citadel hill - they will provide a little more variety on the table and a couple of obstacles for they darn maraudin vikings.

Saxon camp ...

Having done tents for the Vikings I thought the Saxons should also have some, so I bought some of the nice Saxon tents from Renedra

A small Saxon encampment ....

A little tinkering with the rules ...

After the last few games, there's been some markups on the rules we use, so I've updated them and version 5 is now ready for the next lot of markups :); the rules are not that complicated and we find they give us a nice fast play game.
