End of 2024 – Happy New Year

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for following the ups and downs of Mogsymakes.net over the last 12 months. It’s been a huge year for me…Midgard Heroic Battles finally came out in November after five years of preparation and the response has been fantastic. I’ve also gone back to partial self-employment alongside my day job in order to support Midgard and my writing/creative work. There have been many enjoyable shows and unforgettable games en route – thank you for your company if you’ve been involved in any of these!

I’ve just been tidying up some loose ends during the Betwixtmas period and finally got my Second Punic Wars lists completed for Midgard. These are available for free download on the main Midgard Heroic Battles page along with all the other official lists so far. While there will probably be more of these in 2025, I shall be concentrating my writing energies on the campaign system and future supplements.

Nick of Medieval Wargamer has been continuing to enjoy the rules and filmed a battle report using his stunning Scottish – English Wars collection using one a forthcoming scenario from the campaign supplement, which you can watch here.

There’s been a decent amount of coverage of Midgard in the wargames press (some of it written by me) so it was a pleasure to get the latest Wargames Illustrated 445 with a very favourable independent write up from the team there focusing on what they enjoyed about the rules.

The Wargames Illustrated Awards poll runs until Jan 31st 2025 and Midgard has been nominated for Best New Rules, so please do put in a vote if you have enjoyed them.

Should you be in the area, I’ll be at Boards and Swords Hobbies (Derby, UK) with some of the play test team during the day on Saturday 4th January, running introductory games of Midgard from 10am. No need to book, just drop in.

Thank you for your support and a happy new year to you all!

Cheers

James
