Saga: From Ancient Times to the Middle Ages - Reviewing the Historical Skirmish Wargame

Saga is a historical wargaming game for two or more players that focuses on battles in medieval, ancient, and even fantasy worlds. The game allows players to take on the role of commanders in larger skirmishes, primarily with 28mm figures. The game was first launched back in 2011 and originally focused purely on the dark medieval Viking Age, hence its name - Saga, a Norse epic about the heroic deeds of fearless warriors, which players also tried to do on the tabletop.

An expansion on the Crusades and the fall of Rome was eventually released, whereupon the game got a second edition in 2018 (which now gets a reprint for Christmas 2022, complete with new FAQs and errata) and a bunch of rulebooks for each period since. For the second edition of Saga, the game's publisher Studio Tomahawk has switched to the model it follows for its other main game, Muskets and Tomahawks, which is that it publishes "generic rulebooks" that describe the basic mechanics of the game (i.e. how to move, fight, shoot, etc.) without rules for armies, and then publishes books with rules for units.
