This group is dedicated to wargamers using Ken Altfather's STRANDHOGG - Viking Age Skirmish Rules. Origins Award Nominee for Best Historical Miniatures Game or Expansion of 2005.
Take the field as a powerful Norman Lord, Saxon Ealdorman or Viking Jarl in a 1:1 skirmish adventure. With each player assuming command of up to 3 twelve-man warbands, play is fast, fun and unpredictable. Gather your forces using troops such as Warriors, Berserkers, Ulfhednar, Archers, Slingers and Levy. Of course what would a STRANDHOGG be without some unsuspecting Town’s Folk and livestock! It’s all there.
To achieve an effective blend of detail and playability, STRANDHOGG utilizes a Command & Control based movement system, simultaneous melee and a unique missile fire resolution process. Unit and individual morale and courage as well as weapons such as spears, bows, 2-handed axes and slings are all modeled to name a few. These rules work equally well for skirmishes in the ANCIENT period. Many a German has found his way on to a Roman gladius using these rules.
