For the second time we had the opportunity to run a SAGA Dark Ages Tournament at our local convention. We would like to to thank all of those who participated this time around and we look forward to seeing you again in August. We would also like to thank Barb and Ernie at Architects of War www.architectsofwar.com for their continued and invaluable support of our efforts with these tournaments. Once again we had great prize support for our participants to compete for during the tournament.
Tournament Participants
From left to right Chris Bennett (host), Malcolm Bailey, Joe Brecher, Ron Bingham, Will Pedro, Chris Long, Todd Wiatt, Jeff Wiltrout and Mike Kelly (not pictured)
All our competitors embodied the best in sportsmanship during play and I want to thank them all for making the running of the tournament a joy with their positive attitudes. While we saw a lot of the usual suspects (i.e. armies) at this tournament it was nice to see the new Byzantine faction represented among the regular favorites such as the Welsh, Vikings, Skraeling and Normans. Below are some pictures taken during play:
Todd and Will clash with a civil war of Normans v Normans!
Mike and Jeff battle it out with Normans v Skraeling!
Joe moves his Welsh in for an attack with their pointy sticks!
Joe and Todd along with Ron and Will mix it up in the second round!
Chris (on the right) had the rules, but had never played. So he jumped in with both feet, commanding the mighty Vikings!
Malcolm prepares his Vikings for battle, and the glory of Valhalla!
Once the dust settled and the carnage was counted in the lives of our little soldiers we had three players who had surfaced as being the day’s best:
- Jeff Wiltrout (Skraeling)
- Joe Brecher (Welsh)
- Malcolm Bailey (Vikings)
Congratulations to you’ll for your efforts during the tournament, and we look forward to seeing you and everyone else in August.
Jeff receives his prize for coming in first place with his scrappy Skraeling!
Joe gives us a big grin of joy with his result with those feisty Welsh!
Malcolm sent some Vikings to Valhalla and earned his 3rd place prize.
If you couldn’t join we would be happy to have you here in Williamsburg this coming August for our next tournament. Let’s see how your SAGA will be sung!
Happy gaming,
Chris Bennett
