Search for this and related games with Noble Knight


Description:


Invasion 1066: Stamford Bridge is the second game in the Invasion 1066 series designed by Norm Smith. Originally published as Orri's Storm by Saxon Games, we have enhanced this great design by developing the rule set even further and providing new artwork by industry veteran Charles Kibler. Just days after defeating an English army at Gate Fulford, Harald Hardrada, the Viking warrior king is caught by surprise at Stamford Bridge by a second English army. Map scale is 50 meters per hex and the units vary in size from 100 to 250 men. The game is quick-playing and bloody with easy to understand mechanics. Historical touches such as berserker rage, Orri's storm, viking shield wall, army morale by troop type, leader loss, and arrow supply; it is all here in a very easy to play package.

Stamford Bridge 1066

"Harold himself is exposed and needs to move. I can't remember seeing the Saxons losing this badly so early in the game before." Norm Smith, in Battlefields & Warriors, brings us a fun replay of a game he designed! Join Norm for the action and insights that only a designer can provide. "The Saxon army is fighting for its life, their leaders join in the fray, encouraging more from the men - they should have done this earlier!"

Stamford Bridge 1066

"...can Harold cause enough harm to the original Viking force before Orri strikes?" Norm Smith fights a rousing replay with his own title, Invasion 1066: Stamford Bridge, from Revolution Games. Join Norm for the fun, and see why he can conclude that the result is "…quite typical of the swings of fortune that the system allows."
