Midgard Heroic Battles 18mm // MogsyMakes

At its core, Midgard Heroic Battles is a game for two or more players that can typically be played on a 6x4 table using 28mm miniatures and a standard unit width of 12cm. If you're playing an average game, it will take between ninety and 120 minutes with forces of around ten units per side plus your three to five heroes leading the way. Sticking with 28mm, you'll most likely have between eight and ten miniatures per unit and somewhere between eighty and one hundred per side once you get into it.

What's quite nice is that Midgard Heroic Battles can also be played at different scales. You can see 18mm Midgard being played out in the image above. If you're interested in learning more of the key features of Midgard Heroic Battles you can find them HERE.
