SAGA on the cheap.

 About this time last year when I wasn't blogging I picked up a SAGA rulebook for about six quid. I tried the game out with some free fan-made battleboards and really enjoyed it. 

Since I own a bunch of Vikings I pushed the boat out and bought the Age of Vikings book which was NOT cheap. Never mind there are twelve battleboards in there for different warbands ( I don't care for the term "factions") so there is a lot a value in the book.

I wasn't prepared to pay fourteen quid or so for eight dice so I went about making my own. I downloaded the free dice symbols and found some cheap blank dice on ebay. I matched some printer paper as close as I could to the colour of the dice and spent some time cutting and clagging.

I had enough to make six sets of eight dice for the price of one official set, they aren't as good but they are good enough for me.

Next up I got myself a nice little Anglo-Saxon warband to fight those naughty Scandinavians, I got a canny deal on them too!.

After some cracking games it dawned on me that just one box of Wargames Atlantic Irish could give me a six point warband, so after a little bit of shopping around I got my hands on a box.

The last few days I have been re-discovering SAGA so tonight I will play an Irish raid on Wessex. It should be fun...
