SAGA Reprint Ready to Go
February 8, 2012 by brennon
If your looking for a rules set to guide you through the Dark Ages and bloody battles of Early Medieval Europe then the SAGA system might be for you. Gripping Beast have just got their reprints in for the rulebook so get ready to start buying!
The SAGA rules cover not only the system itself, but rules for the factions (Anglo-Danish, Vikings, Welsh and Normans – with more to be published.) and scenarios for you to play. The game uses around 30 miniatures, and a whole bunch of d6 and special SAGA dice to get going.
Will you be playing and creating a saga of your own?
Thats rather intresting.
May need to look at this one but i love my Pig Wars
Played it and it’s way too random for my tastes. When you have to roll dice to choose what actions you can perform, before you even attempt to do them, I lose interest.
Been reading lots of reviews online and looks like a historical ruleset that seems interesting. The few large scale histrocials I have played turned into formations running into each other and little tactics. Here’s hoping that SAGA breaks that trend!
I won’t call SAGA large scale – I did have the chance to see it at one of the shows last year – It look like a nice game
It is a really good game and something different than just a bunch of stats and rolling dice.
Can’t wait my copy has been on order since xmas.
