evil_bryan Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I had a great time getting my first exposure to SAGA at Guardian Games last Saturday. The guys of the Historical Gaming group putting on some demo games were friendly and very willing to talk about the system and explain how the Battle Boards, dice, etc. worked. I plan to be at the next game day there in April, and I hope to play my first game then. I've also started to put together a 4 point Norman force! Tom and I took the plunge today and played our first 4 point game of SAGA. Bishop Odo led his Norman force against the warband of Jurgen Blackstaff. By turn 5, they had met each other in open field and exchanged grievous wounds to tie the game. It was a great game, and I look forward to playing again. Why Blackstaff you ask?....because frostbite is a bitch. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savion47 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Why was I not informed that I could have Brian Boru lead my Irish warband?!?! I would have been playing this game ages ago. Time to get models 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Why was I not informed that I could have Brian Boru lead my Irish warband?!?! I would have been playing this game ages ago. Time to get modelsBrian Boru is a Hero of the Viking Age (special character). The BB rules portray him during the Battle of Clontarf. As such, elderly Boru's stats are pitiful, but his presence on the table provided benefits to all the Irish in his warband. Boru may be accompanied by Ulf the Quarrelsome, who is a bit of a bad @ss. Gripping Beast, Footsore Miniatures and Crusader Miniatures make a Brian Boru model. GB and FM make an Ulf model. Footsore: Bodyguard, Boru and Standard Bearer Ulf Gripping Beast: Boru Ulf Crusader: Boru on foot and mounted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomistokles Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 Bryan and I will be playing a rematch at Ancient Wonders on the 15th. I'm looking forward to it! Since Bishop Odo is "dead" (although I've heard he's feeling better), I will likely take a new Norman warlord who will certainly not meet the same fate as the old warlord. SAGA On!

Koyote Posted August 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 HERE are the most recent SAGA FAQ & Erratas. This document was released in August of 2015. If Gripping Beast follows through as promised, there should be releasing a 2016 update any time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
