I seem to have played two games of Wars of the Roses using Midgard this week, commanding the Lancastrians on both occasions! The first was a Battle of Wakefield 1460 game, which you can read a full picture report with orders of battle here.
The other was a visit to Boards and Swords Hobbies in Derby, where I introduced some new players to the game and laid some plans for our first Midgard event, due to be held there on Saturday 26th April 2025. Ian from BASH has also persuaded me and some chums to run Midgard games on Saturday 4th January – just drop in if you’d like to try the rules.
The Midgard Heroic Battles rulebook has been sent for a reprint, which is fab news less than a month after release.
Warbases have expanded their range of Midgard-related products with some custom raven dice and Killing Zone templates; thanks again chaps! (Please note that Warbases are now taking a well-earned break so you won’t be able to get these now till Jan 2025).
Lard Magazine 2024 has also made its appearance, being a PDF annual magazine from Too Fat Lardies. This year’s issue includes a scenario from John ‘What a Yorkshire Cowboy’ Savage based on the Fords of Isen from Middle-earth, as well as an article by myself on my thoughts for Midgard events.
And finally, my article and scenario to play Tolkien’s The Battle of Tumhalad has made its appearance in Minature Wargames magazine 501 this week.
Take care everyone!

Hello,

Hi Michael, the gatehouse is an old Helm’s Deep LOTR piece from Tom’s collection. I think it was manufactured by GW but is long out of production.
