Program Description

Event Details

Who will rule England?

While the Danes and Saxons have been pummeling each other in the north, William, the Duke of Normandy, has just landed at Pevensey, to begin his bid for the conquest of England.  After marching north to fight the Danes, King Harold Godwinson now has to march 190 miles back down south to face William.  King Harold’s force consisted mainly of infantry, while the Normans fielded a combined force of infantry, cavalry, and archers. The battle lasted all day and would decide who would control all of England.

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.
