Midgard Heroic Battles Rulebook /// Reisswitz Press

For those not familiar with Midgard Heroic Battles, the game has been designed to be miniature and scale-agnostic allowing you to play with whatever figures you have in your collection. It has also been designed to play both Historical and Fantasy battles with rules for playing out the famous battles of notable figures like Hardrada for example whilst also delving into the epics of Norse Myth, Beowulf, The Illiad and beyond. The world is very much your oyster with this game.

"From veteran gamer James Morris comes a new tabletop miniature wargame rooted in the heroic leadership of Achilles, Boudica and Beowulf. Players take control of a force of warriors and heroes as they build their reputations and crush their enemies through mighty feats of battle. Midgard Heroic Battles can be played in any historical, legendary or fantasy setting where warriors fight it out with swords, spears and shields. From the siege of Troy to the battle of Hastings, from the frost giants of Norse myth to the dwarfs of the mountain halls, from Arthur to El Cid, Midgard places you on the field of battle."

The Rulebook contains all the rules you need to play plus sorcery and flying sections for those eager to dabble in the world of Fantasy. You will also find five full scenarios to play, twelve sample forces and an appendix which helps you build your own armies and heroes.

You'll also note the stunning artwork for the rulebook that was done by Jon Hodgson and the new logo by Paul Bourne. Midgard is shaping up to be a rather special game that could draw more folks into Fantasy (and Historical) wargaming with the mass of miniatures they have in their collection.
