The details for the next Midgard Moot event are now up! Find everything on the Midgard Moot II page.
It’s been a busy few months in the world of Midgard Heroic Battles, putting on games and working on supplementary material. The manuscript for the first supplement, Chronicles of Midgard, is now complete and should be on its way to art and layout soon (no release date yet). This includes a generic campaign system that would be suitable for any setting alongside a sample campaign and fifteen new scenarios, alongside guidance for creating your own Forces and campaigns.
There’s also multiple campaigns in writing and play testing at the moment, including Alfred the Great vs the Vikings, the Second Barons’ War of 1264-65 and a fantasy Orcs & Dwarves campaign. Midgard was used to put on a huge Battle of the Five Armies game at Colours 2025 (there’s a short video report on this on my Mogsymakes YouTube channel) and also the Battle of Bosworth in Tamworth Castle great hall, with further games planned for The Other Partizan in October 2025.
Midgard Heroic Battles won the Best New Wargames Rules Award 2024 as voted for by the readers of Wargames Illustrated Magazine, as well as Best Miniatures Rules 2024 at the On Table Top Industry Awards. Many thanks to Richard Clarke for editing and publishing, Jon Hodgson and Paul Bourne of Handiwork Games for stunning art and layout, Pete Jenkins for his photography and all the play testers for their contributions.
Midgard Heroic Battles is an all-in-one volume containing the rules (including flying creatures and sorcery), five scenarios, 12 sample Force lists and an appendix to allow you to create your own Heroes and Units.
Layout and art are by the hugely talented Jon Hodgson (Beowulf Age of Heroes, The One Ring, Warhammer Ancient Battles, Dragon Warriors, Jon Hodgson Backdrops and many more) and Paul Bourne of Handiwork Games. We are absolutely delighted to have had Jon’s input on this project which has raised the presentation of Midgard Heroic Battles to another level. Stunning miniature photography by Pete Jenkins also accompanies Jon’s artwork.
Midgard Heroic Battles is published by Reisswitz Press. A dedicated Facebook group to support the game, administered by members of the playtest team, can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1572316176883241/
All the best
