Program Description

Event Details

The Last Kingdom – Alfred the Great Strikes back!

Viking invaders have overrun most of England. Only Wessex, the “Last Kingdom”, stands in the way of complete disaster. In May 878 AD, Alfred the Great rallied the peasants of his shires and faced down the Vikings at the Battle of Edington. The fate of England would be decided on the field. Lots of fun, and also learn a bit of history!

Please pre-register. Games are facilitated by experts from HMGS Next Gen, Inc. who have great experience in running games that are fun and challenging for players. Presented by the Historical Miniatures Gaming Society, Next Gen.
