Midgard Heroic Battles can be played in any historical, legendary or fantasy setting where warriors fight it out with swords, spears and shields. From the siege of Troy to the battle of Hastings, from the frost giants of Norse myth to the dwarfs of the mountain halls, from Arthur to El Cid, Midgard places you on the field of battle. The game is miniatures- and scale-agnostic, so you may play with any figures that you choose.
