AAR on an El Cid Game

 I’m reallly behind in posting this, but here are some photos of a test game using El Cid figures and terrain and the upcoming Midgard rules. 

Details are fuzzy after three months but the key features that my aged brain remembers are as follow.

• It was a Valencian attack on a Zaragozan defended hill.  Rodrigo El Cid was off table with Zaragozan reinforcements.
• I made archers waaaaay too powerful.
• Curt’s Valencia’s caballeros had atrocious activation roles and reactions.  See the markers noting Curt’s personal reactions.
• Under the rules, heavy cavalry is very strong but brittle, and the two prior points meant that the attackers main attack force was neutered early on.
• Infantry scrums worked well and a counterattack was dealt with well.
• The attackers were toast before the Cid came on table.
