Winchester Shieldwall – Saturday 21st November 2026

I’m very excited to be helping Ryan Lavelle of the University of Winchester in putting on a new one day event themed around Viking age warfare.

The format is similar to Lardy Days/ Midgard Moot, with two hosted games but also a couple of talks about the connections between wargaming and historical research. Game systems on offer will include Midgard Heroic Battles, Strength & Honour, Comitatus/ Shieldwall, Pillage and others with some very experienced hosts and several games authors.

Everything will be provided and no previous experience is needed – just book in, turn up and play. More details on Ryan’s website.

Tickets are expected to go on sale from 7th August. Miniatures shown by Footsore, Foundry, Crusader and Gripping Beast; background by Jon Hodgson Backdrops; photos by Pete Jenkins & James Morris.
