Saga Season 4 results

Note that this is a six season campaign, so we are almost there. People who missed the last game get a “defend” order

Irish V. Welsh

I felt quite safe  with my three 12 figure Irish units ensconced in my little fortress with hordes of Jim’s Welsh roaming the countryside drinking all the beer. Then Jim’s troops started with the whole, “You guys are as stupid as you are ugly” routine.  I’m yelling “Don’t fall for it this time, It’s a trap!” But my slingers all ran out of the fort anyway and died to a man on turn 1.  I did a quick calculation and determined I could only last two more turns if I continued to hide in the fort. I figured they couldn’t shoot as many arrows if  I killed a whole lot of Welsh.  I had a series of Saga sixes and was able to use all eight dice and activated one of my javelin units about 6 times and began to even up the score.  It ended up a fairly close fight with Irish scoring 15 VP to the welsh 12.

Vikings v. Jomsvikings

Franklin’s vikings were on a peaceful mushroom gathering trip in the forest until they ran into “Paul the QB” and his warband of angry and annoying Jomsvikings.  These proceeded to Jom the heck out of the berserkers. The vikings gave some of it back but eventually the heavy casualties caught up and they were forced from the field. Not everything went Paul’s way though.  His victorious warband returned home only to find that the revolting peasants were revolting!

Standings:

We now have four Athelings (power 15 or greater).  Franklin and Joe are earning 1 VP each turn as Atheling because their main motivation is higher than their secondary goals. Since Mark missed, his defend order bumped up his wealth to equal his reputation.
Mark with 3VP
Franklin 3VP
Jay 2 VP
Joe 4 VP
lower classes
Jim 1 VP
Thomas 1 VP
Paul 1VP
