SAGA- Age of Hannibal with my old 15mm soldiers.

 Well, after a short delay I got hold of the bases to start my next SAGA project. I've started off  with Romans and Carthaginians, and because I have more figures than I need I have based the close order infantry two to a base. SAGA is a headcount game but I'll just count the bases rather than the figures. 

Most of these figures were bought and painted in the late 1980's/early '90's and I recently tried to give them away, no-one wanted them and I considered binning them. But now with a bit of a tickle with a paintbrush and rebasing these old veterans are back in action...

Romans, Museum Miniatures (MM) and Irregular Miniatures

Roman Velites MM.

Roman Equites MM.

Carthaginians, MM and Tabletop Miniatures.

Iberians, Essex Miniatures.

Numidians, Tabletop Miniatures.

Nellie the Elephant, Tabletop Miniatures.

I got my SAGA dice made too.

It is all set up ready to play but it is too hot in the room tonight, I don't know how we'll get to sleep. 

More SAGA - Crusading on the cheap.

  Last week I was fortunate enough to get a second hand copy of SAGA Crescent and Cross for a very good price. Luckily I have a collection of shonky old figures ready to go, all I needed to do was make some appropriate dice...

I really like this game, the game mechanisms are easy and good fun but the Battleboard malarkey takes it to another level. 

The battle came down to a fight between the warlords, both fell but the Crusaders were victorious.

I wish I had got into SAGA years ago, I considered it more than once but something always put me off. Not this time though, I have a heap of 15mm Punic Wars stuff which will be tidied up and rebased, bases and basing material are ordered and SAGA, Age of Hannibal has just come through the letterbox.

Very happy days!.
