William at Hastings

  • Description

    Simple game depicting the Battle of Hastings. 144 counters plus an arrow supply marker, 11x17 map, one page of rules, one page of designer's notes.

    Terrain affects combat through additions to or subtractions from the attack or defense factor. Thus, the Normans are weakened when attacking up Senlac Hill, while the Saxons are strengthened attacking down it. The Combat Results Table is bloody enough for a battle that was fought for the most part without the fiddly flanking moves that produce ZOC-kills. The Norman arrow supply and Saxon Hand-held missiles rules add flavor to a bloody shoving match.
