Orcs came over for his second game with Midgard. I think it's a testament to the strength of the rules that, even with his limited experience of the rules, we could still play a big game in about four and a half hours, including a break for lunch!

I am planning to try these out in 10mm as well, but I am going to have bigger units on 28mm size bases.
Cool, do the rules use fixed bases or do you take individual casualties off the table?
Midguard is unit basing - no model removal. I think in the photos 8 'human' figures make a unit, which look to be on 2 sabot bases. The trolls look to only have 4 figures making up a unit.
Base sizes are flexible - the measuring unit is a scaled to the base size. If you wanted massive battles you could go with 40x20mm Warmaster bases for a unit and huge battles (or normal battles in a small area). I'm likely to go with 80 or 100mm frontage using 2x 40x40mm bases, if I ever get round to trying these rules - which I got for at Xmas.
It was a very enjoyable game. Would like to get a really big game set up so we can get out all our Orcs.
I would like to point out that my dice throwing was absolutely bl**dy appalling. When I charged the Trolls in I threw 14 dice needing to hit on 4,5,6 with the ability to reroll any 1's. Compared to Sunjesters elves needing 5's or 6's with a similar number of dice with no rerolls.
I managed TWO yes only TWO hits with no 1's to reroll. Sunjester got 6 hits if i remember correctly
