Battle of Edington 878

A few weeks ago I popped up to the Herts Volunteers for a Dark Ages game.

This was a large affair based on the Battle of Edington between Alfred the Great leading the army of Wessex against Guthrum leading the Great Heathen army.

The rules used were Hail Caesar with a few minor mods from the relevant supplement.

My command was on the far right of the Danish line which, unfortunately, doesn’t appear in the first photo below (doh!).

  1. Fantastic! Love to see a big game from the Not-actually-as-dark-as-we-like-to-think-they-were Ages. ;)

    1. I have to refer to it as the Early Medieval period to make my historian daughter happy
