Pillage: Skirmish Rules for the Dark Age

Pillage is a game written to be played in a relaxed setting, with friends, over drinks and other treats. These rules were written to meet a need specific to the JHP (Jeux d'Histoire du Ponant) club, for which we had a project to play the Viking period but where no rules seemed to fit. They were therefore written for this purpose. You should know that these are simple rules, in order to be able to quickly play skirmish games on a period going from late antiquity to the Middle Ages, let's say, to be more precise, from 793 (looting of Lindisfarne Abbey) to 1066 (battle of Hastings). The period is vast, of course, but the relative similarity of the methods used to fight has made it possible to establish here common rules for all warriors of this period. As you will discover when you read the rules, they are essentially based on the characters' equipment. —description from the publisher
