  • Much larger map and counters than Invasion 1066 (Revolution Games). Artwork consequently much more comfortable.
  • The basic difference between the two sides is that the Saxons have 2-step Huscarls and terrain advantage; the Normans can try a few Cav charges.
  • The rulebook is too cramped. Norman Rout and Saxon Pursuit look circuitous, but during play the rules make sense.

Simple , well done game of a battle I've wanted a game of. It works very well solo and while it does seem unlikely that William will win, Saxons charging pell mell down the hill is great fun.
