Vikings tried to force a pass defended by a numerous Saxon Army.  The pass itself was a landmark loved by the Saxons, since the tomb of an ancient nobleman was dug there. The tomb was indicated on the table by a large cross, giving morale bonus to Saxon units close to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game went very nicely, with lucky rolls from the Saxon player (me) managing to keep under control the fierce berserkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all enjoyed the nice scenario prepared by Riccardo, so many thanks to him, Vittorio and Matteo for the nice evening. Photos below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The games ended up pretty even, with the army commanders duelling. They both survived the duel. Good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"41332\" src=\"https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6610.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6610.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6610-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"41338\" src=\"https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6611.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6611.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6611-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"41335\" src=\"https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6612.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6612.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6612-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"41337\" src=\"https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6613.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6613.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6613-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"41333\" src=\"https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6614.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6614.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6614-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"41334\" src=\"https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6615.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6615.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6615-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"41336\" src=\"https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6616.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6616.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/stefanov.no-ip.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_6616-300x225.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Riccardo yesterday organised a nice Midgard game using his Dark Age 15mm armies.
