| Anglo-Dane Huscarls' special tactic is shieldwall |
Last Tuesday afternoon I played a solo Anglo-Danes versus Normans Arrowstorm game out in the shed. I reread the rules and increased the size of the game to eighty points. The Normans had the initiative and advanced while the Anglo-Danes waited on the hill. Once fighting commenced it was fairly brutal with units and leaders on both sides whittled down quickly. A really crucial tactic card to claim was the single Rally card combined with careful timing in playing it. The Anglo-Danes were able to save their bacon with a roll of two fives and a six for a successful rally of four battle rating points. The Normans despite early success with their knights were unable to match it in the end and broke.

ReplyDeleteThanks Michal, Arrowstorm is a lot of fun.
DeleteNice looking game, Mike. I think I may play some solo games in the future too. Basically to flesh out scenarios.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, it’s good for trying out scenarios and new rules.
