Following requests for Samurai for Midgard Heroic Battles, we’ve put together something for the Sengoku period in collaboration with Peter’s Paperboys. Samurai are not my specialist subject, so I drew upon the work of Midgard gamers Mark Denny, Mark Piper and William Smith to create a pair of sample Forces and some new Traits. MirkoContinue reading “Sengoku Jidai for Midgard Heroic Battles 25.9.26”

I’ve finally finished editing my video of the Attack on Northampton during the Second Barons’ War. Back in July, Midgard chum Lee Sanders came up to (very) sunny Nottingham to play through this scenario from the À Montfort! À Montfort! Goblet-Size Campaign using Midgard Heroic Battles. This is my first crack at a longer formatContinue reading “Attack on Northampton 1264 Video”

I was flattered to be the guest on the Yarkshire Gamer podcast (until I answered ‘Leeds’ to one of the quiz questions, anyway ) recently.

I’m very pleased to say that the second Goblet-Size Campaign for Midgard Heroic Battles is nearly ready. Richard has been burning the midnight oil finishing off the layout while I’ve been drawing maps in a medieval monk-style and checking all the statlines with a red pen! The campaign contains a brief historical background, five newContinue reading “À Montfort! À Montfort!”

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 systemsContinue reading “Winchester Shieldwall – Saturday 21st November 2026”

The second Goblet-Sized Campaign for Midgard Heroic Battles has now finished play testing and will be on its way to layout soon. Having already released The Iron Valley fantasy campaign, this time around it’s a very historical affair dealing with the Second Barons’ War, covering the period 1264-65. I’ve been busy photographing Paul Scrivens-Smith’s fabContinue reading “Second Barons’ War Goblet-Sized Campaign forthcoming”
