Midgard Heroic: 1st Test

Wars of the Roses Meets Midgard Heroic

First update in a while, but some of our games were so short that I didn't have enough images! Even for this battle it ended up going faster than we thought, so there's some images from the rules included. This was our first test of Midgard Heroic using our Wars of the Roses forces and the army list which is available online. After a quick explanation we got going and although there were some questions here and there we eventually figured things out! The two forces were about equal points and reputation, so it turned into a sort of meeting engagement. The Yorkists felt the burden of attack on them, so they went right after the Lancastrians. We did the initial shooting combat wrong, but quickly figured things out. We did learn, however, that once units got inside the "killing zone", things tend to die rather quickly! The game system seemed to work well and everyone did like the decisive nature of close combat. Definitely a system that could be used for campaigns as the battles would be over in a few hours.
