Hi everyone, it’s been a bit of a wild week with Midgard Heroic Battles finally being released a mere six days ago. Since then, everyone’s been getting their toys on the table and it’s been awesome to see so many games being played with lots of positive feedback. Here’s a selection:
Magazine coverage of Midgard has also started, with articles about gaming Homer’s Iliad with Midgard in Wargames Illustrated 444 and a one-page discussion of what inspired me to write the rules in the back of Miniature Wargames 500.
The Midgard Heroic Battles Official Facebook Group has been a hive of activity, with players posting their own Force lists to the site. I have posted four additional ‘official’ lists as well, covering the Wars of the Roses and the Ancient British and Early Imperial Roman Forces that we used in playtesting. These are available both on Facebook and on my Midgard Heroic Battles page for free download, as is a MS Word Excel Force Creator document.
The official STLs to 3D print your own Midgard measuring sticks and tokens are now also available as a paid download with both personal and commercial use covered. Full details of where to do this are again on the Midgard Heroic Battles page.
Finally, if this wasn’t enough and you’re not bored of the sound of my voice, there are more podcasts to listen to while you’re painting. The Too Fat Lardies Oddcast came out first, in which I was grilled on John Keegan and other topics linked to Midgard such as the national goblet shortage before being unceremoniously chucked out of a tower window in the ‘defenestration of Lard’ section of the show! (Sidney Roundwood is now off the Christmas card list!)
This was followed up by an appearance on Henry Hyde’s Battlechat where I was treated much more gently but we still had a great conversation about games design and Midgard (of course). (Note that this is initially a patron only chat, it’ll be free to listen to at a later date).
Lots more happening over the next few days, but I’m going to take a break now. Cheers!
