Game / Battle of Fulford GateDescription / Its 1066, and the King is dead. Harald Hardrada set sail for England , landing near York where he and about 6,000 Vikings were confronted by the Anglo-Saxon earls, Edwin and Morcar and about 5,000 of their closest friends. While the battle of Fulford Gate did not end up as a win for the Saxons, it did set up the resounding defeat (and death of Hardrada) a week later.
But that’s all in the future. First we have to see what is in store on the fields at Fulford. Rules are a Saga-derivative (if you haven’t played Saga, don’t worry: you’ll have these rules under your belt in about 10 minutes—which includes my 5 minute rule explanation at the start). We playtested this 10-turn scenario (it was a near-run thing) and completed it under 3 hours.

Game / Trouble in Nyasaland, 1888
Description / (Inspired by actual events, an expedition lead by Captain Frederick Lugard against the slavers in 1888)
Nyasaland in Central Africa is under the British sphere of influence and is suffering from the depredations of savage, aggressive tribes and Arab slavers who prey on the local population and are attacking missionaries and British trading posts in the Lake Nyasa region.
One such mission station is that of the Unitarian missionary Reverend Pimplebottom. Word has reached British authorities that the good reverend, his beautiful daughter, Alice Pimplebottom, and a hunting party led by Sir Archibald Hastings are besieged in the mission by marauding Arab Slavers and brutal Anzique cannibals. The local authorities immediately dispatch a rescue expedition made up of a detachment of the Central African Rifles and a landing party from the gunboat HMS Indefatigable.
Will the relief force make it in time? Or will the besieged make a heroic breakout attempt? Will a dashing young British Army or Naval officer win Alice’s hand? More importantly, what will the Anzique eat for lunch?
Rules are fast play and absolutely no experience with the rules is necessary.
