SAGA is a miniatures game from Gripping Beast set in the Viking Age, mentioned at the Gloucester MiniCon meeting last night.

It uses D6 and SAGA-specific dice.

I still need have a proper mooch around the site but the models are very tempting.

Not sure if this is what one of the Evesham guys was talking about, when I attended their club. Might be as the Welsh appealed

Moved this to the Ancients forum - I think that's the right place for it. Going to pick up the rulebook for this too I think, although I can't decide on a faction at the moment.

I may be erring towards Anglo-Danish though I think.

It's probably an easy choie if you're basing your judgments on historcal facts, but... Welsh or Normans?

Well let's see Luke. The Welsh were never fully concoured even by the Romans. We just fight enough to hold invaders off and retreat as far as Anglesy. As for your Normans? The Frogs were clearly good enough to beat the English and start off essentially the current system of a unified England.
So based on historical judgements, they are much stronger than your typical Vikings.
