ODINS RUNES LIEF ERIKSON HAS FOUND NEW LANDS. THESE LANDS ARE TO THE WEST AT THE EDGE OF THE SETTING SUN. THEY ARE GREENLANDS . . .
ALTERNATIVE HISTORY
It could have been the greatest discovery of all time
but it wasn’t to be.
Lief was not the man his father Erik was, Erik
could have brought hundreds to the shores of America but Erik the Red had
fallen from his horse and did not take part in the discovery, he died
shortly after.
The word of the discovery arrives early in Norway.
It is good timing, the population is growing
fast and land is in short supply, Erik the Red is a hero and many believe
the way is west.
This is not an easy journey, a season to Iceland, a season to Green land and
a season on to Vin Land. Every second son wants to go. All they need is a ship and followers . . .
I am starting a skirmish campaign.
Ask the old hands, my skirmish campaigns
have always been good.
You need no figures, I will provide them.
The games will be played out at meetings but will only take up short
periods of the gaming day and not everybody will need to fight.
Those of you who sign up for the venture will be Jarls, you will lead your followers to Vinland and brave other settlers and Scrawlings alike. How much you battle is up to you but your settlement is all you have. You may form alliances or you may go it alone . . .
Like any rush for a New World, you can hang back and wait, but if you do you
risk the chance that the best opportunities and land have gone.
