Dark Ages skirmish rules for armies of up to around 30 figures, intended for Vikings, Saxons, Normans, Picts, Welsh, and Irish armies. Figures move and fight individually, but must remain within a command radius of their leader.

Six sided and average dice are required, and each army figures are classified as one of the following: Lord, Warrior, Freeman, Armed peasant, Non-combatant. Heroes and berserkers can also appear when certain cards are turned over.
