Basil and the Horn of the Minotaur

A couple of weeks ago we played another game of Midgard with James, this time our battle was set in Greek Mythology with hero Basil tasked with stealing the Horn of the Minotaur from the temple and getting back to his ships.

However, King Minossos and his minions were not going to let this act of cultural vandalism take place so easily so they massed their forces to block the passes back to the ships. 

Basils forces were mainly Greek Hoplites with a few Cretan archers while King Minossos fielded a host of beasties including the bronze giant Talos, two units of Cyclops, two units of Hoplites and many swarms of Harpies.

James and his boy took control of Basil and his forces while Martin and I were King Minossos and his host. Tom played mine host and kept us supplied with drinks and snacks and took a load of photos.

By the end of the game after many a heroic combat and the demise of Hercules, Typhus the Steersman, King Minossos, Tossus the Cyclops and Hagne the Harpy, Basil forced the passes and was able to return to his ships with the Minotaurs horn.

There are many better photos of the action and much improved commentary on the blogs of James, Martin and Tom.
