Fresh off his victory at Stamford Bridge, King Harold Godwinson has received news of William the Bastard's invasion. Scrambling to intercept the invader, King Harold makes his stand on Senlac Hill some 6 miles inland from Hastings on October 14th 1066. On seeing the array, Duke William formed his army into 3 battlelines to assault the Saxons on that hill. Now you can decide one of the most famous battles in history. Will the Normans again win England or will Harold retain his crown and glory in his victory. Using the newly released Knight Hack rules (based on the popular Classical Hack rule set), you can imitate the hit and run tactics of the Normans or stand shoulder to shoulder in the mighty Saxon shield wall. This is an introductory game - new users are welcome. Younger players welcome with an acompanying adult. Prizes to be awarded to the next King of England (or at least the winners of the game). Beats a sharp stick in the eye!
