Journey to my first tournament - Mortem et Gloriam - 2023-04-01/02 Roll Call 2023 - 28mm Magna - VIKINGS on TOUR!!!
The Tournament has come and gone
Excellent tournament, 5 games and 4 losses as it was my first time playing Mortem et Gloriam the other players are all true gentlemen and very accommodating, it was a great experience and the game system is great fun to play and sucks you right in. The quote from the rule book “No one gets out unscathed” is very accurate. It’s pure carnage and amazing fun.
Thanks to Rob (@commodorerob) – Early Scots 1054 CE, Nik – Imperial Romans 286 CE, Simon – Indo Scythian 10CE, Richard – later French Ordonnance (who won overall) and Gareth – Burgundian Ordonnance for helping me in the baptism of fire and Simon Hall for creating a truly wonderful and thematic gaming system that is great fun to get into.
The only downside was I didn’t come last and get the wooden spoon. My last game of the weekend I almost won and did quite well on points and was a complete blast and that pushed my stats up slightly. Thanks Nik. Simon Stokes came last and kindly gave me his prize, Victrix Macedonian Greek Successor Heavy Cavalry as he didn’t need it, true gentleman and his are was brutal, the quality of the forces on display was spectacular some beautiful/deadly armies.
Addendum
Ryanair didn’t lose or destroy my army on the flight out or back. But me being a clumsy git, I did break four spears (now fixed) and popped off two shields (also fixed) so counts that as a win 🙂

Is it 15mm or 28mm do you know. I’m on MeG Facebook group. Is there an Irish specific one do you know
there’s no Irish specific page, the facebook page was setup by the creators and writers (I think) no specific mini size it’s all based of base widths, so you can have any mini on the base Pacto is usually 15mm, Magna and Maximus work well for 28mm but can be 15mm minis got the MeG website and logon to the forum, loads of great info there https://mortem-et-gloriam.co.uk/ MEG PACTO Pacto (compact) is our small game, but in no way feels small as it keeps all the main features of Maximus that players like. Armies still have 10-20 “units” – so… Read more »
