Continuing our discussion on units we move to one of the toughest to use in all of Saga. Composite bows were a way of life for the people of the Steppe and dominated much of the world they touched. In Saga they can do the same but often new players struggle on making this unit equal the same prowess history has written about it. Thank you Stephen and Luke for coming on and giving us your 10+ years of experience running comp bows!
Trying something a little different this year. Trying to slowly bring on a single player to review their time at Adepticon this year, 2025. Thank you Charles for coming on and sharing your experience with me.
Over this past year a series of articles from Goonhammer have been geared at our amazing game of Saga. I was lucky enough to run into Mike on the final day of Adepticon. As we got to talking I found out Mike was from Goonhammer. Join us as we spend time talking about what Goonhammer is, their Summer of Saga series, and how you can even become a contributor to the amazing work happening at Goonhammer. Thank you Mike for coming on an...
I have been a little absent on the podcast recently so wanted to jump back in full force. I give a brief update on where the podcast is and some hope to add new styles of content. I decide to fly solo today and review a recent tournament I took the Macedonians to and discuss a new-to-me build using a ton of Hearthguard/Companions for Alexander. As always thank you for listening!
Harness in for today's episode as we take 2 hours to explore the meta and the initial impressions for Studio Tomahawks newest supplement. In KC fashion we try to explore the meta underneath Chivalry. A major thank you to our newest player Kyle and our grizzled veteran Stephen for coming on today to share your thoughts.
Known often by his Discord handle of Shipwreck. We get to pull the curtain back and meet the man who has been running the last few online leagues via the Saga Thorsday Discord. Anthony takes time to share his hobby love of painting and mix of history to generate stories on the tabletop. Thank you Shipwreck/Anthony for talking Saga with me!
The Goths are a warband that can be difficult to understand when you first start playing them. Mastering fatigue and when to take on more is a fine balance that often leaves many new Goth players struggling. We discuss the board and tactics on how to find a rhythm to this warband. Thank you Steven for taking the time to share your favorite and most commanded warband!
For our second player spotlight I get caught up with Adam. We explore what it is about Saga that he enjoys and his thoughts on his experience in Saga. Adam is held in high regard here in Kansas City for his tactical ability. Thank you Adam for taking some time out to share your thoughts on Saga!
"Without supply the troops die!" was a motto many of the men and women in supply used to live by. In Saga our supplies are generated by the orders dice. To find a balance for your warband and own preference in the universe of Saga will either lead to victory or certain defeat. Thank you to Charles, Luke, and Josh for coming on and discussing your thoughts.
Expanding the community spotlight to also include player spotlights gets at what I enjoy about Saga. Talking to people about what they love about our great game of Saga. A big thank you to Terry for being the first person to come on and discuss his experience with Saga. Also a major thank you to Luke for creating new music for each series we run here on Strategikon of Saga!
Raising the Fyrd means you better be ready to paint a lot of models. The Anglo Saxons are a powerful group of men raised from the farms and ready to defend all invaders. On this episode myself and another local player have a lot of experience running this warband and share our thoughts on helpful tips and tricks to run the Fyrd! Thank you Charles for coming on and congratulations on winning a tournament with them.
Being able to push your agenda during battle and forcing your opponent to react to you is a major strategic advantage. Often the feeling of pressure or being behind can cause errors or require you to make bold moves to gain back the tactical advantage. In this episode we explore the concept of tempo in Saga and how to gain it, steal it back, and other nuances of tempo. Thank you to Stephen and Luke for sharing their advice on how t...
Scott and the boys are a tough bunch of guys out of the Highlands. I get to spend time talking through the board and tactics with Luke. Luke has run this faction from Version One Sage until now and they are always a threat. Thank you Luke for your insight into this warband.
Saga has engaged an international community for a long time now. It can be easy to have groups create a local meta and adapt rules to better adjust to their playstyle. As we talk with Jan and Jakub they talk about the local meta in their areas of Poland and their thoughts on how Saga can benefit from community input and still be true to the game. A big thank you to Jan and Jakub for for coming on and talking about their Saga experi...
