Untill next year here are a AAR from our SAGA Campaing Game #5...

Once again a fight between Lasse and his 4-point Warband of Anglo-Danes under command of Earl Edward and Uffe with 4 points of my Vikings under command of Jarl Eirik...

Jarl Eirik claimed Earl Edward as a prisoner after their last fight, planing to demand a good ransom for him...

During the Victory feast Earl Edward managed to escap thanks to some traitorus saxons...as soon as Jarl Eirik discovered it he gathered a force of his best hirdmen and started to follow the fleeing Earl further north in Essex...

At a small river the Earl meet a group of his follower that was planing a rescue action, they immediately prepered to engage the Viking pursuers...

Both warlords had got some more experience...

Earl Edward gathered all he´s Housecarls in one unit that would attack over the Ford as the Ceorls and Geburs would watch the bridge...

Jarl Eirik dispatch half of he´s Hirdmen to protect the Ford as he, the rest of his Hirdmen and the berserkers would attack over the bridge...

The unfortunate sheepherd Scur just passed by with his new heard of sheeps...

Up at the Ford both the Anglo-Danish and the Vikings rushed forward, but non oth them daring to start crossing the Ford...

At the bridge the Viking Hirdmen started the advance, geting good cover of the stone bridge against the Anglo-Danish archery...

Standoff at the ford...

At the bridge Jarl Eirik decide to go for a quick victory, and sends his Hirdmen to settle things with the Ceorls...

After a hard fight the Ceorls retreated leaving 3 slain Hirdmen behind...but with some help from Loki the 3 remaning Ceorls wasen´t a problem any more:)

The Geburs trying to shoot the Berserkers...but all in vain thanks to the bridge...

Jarl Eirik let´s hes Hirdmen continue to clear the are around the bridge by sending his Hirdmen to chase the Archers of...

At the Ford Earl Edward started to run out of time and decided to send his best men over the Ford...

The Houscarls was repelled and had to move back... as Earl Edward knew he was out of time and men he chose to retreat from the battle field...

Another glorious Viking Victory:)

This was a good game and both Lasse and Uffe had started to get a gripp of the battleboard, but Uffe managed to get most out of it this time, especially by using deffensive abilitys against the archery...

Next time wee have to try out some new scenarios...Escort and Defending the settlement...
