About the game
SAGA Age of Invasions is a SAGA supplement which covers the era of the Great Invasions that ended in 476 AD when the last Roman emperor was dethroned. Divided between East and West since 395, the Roman Empire was under pressure from the so-called “barbarian” peoples: Goths, Germans, Persians, Huns and many others. The threats were many. This little-known period has left its marks in our collective imagination, none greater than Arthur, the British chieftain who literary tradition raised to the rank of legendary king. It also knew its fair share of skilled generals and intrepid chiefs. In these pages, you’ll come to know the brilliant Aetius, the fiery Clovis, and the terrifying Attila. SAGA Age of Invasions includes: Warbands rules for Late Romans, Britons, Saxons, Goths, Huns, Picts, Franks, and SASSANIDS! Eleven Dogs of War units to recruit, Four Old Friends, New Enemies varient Warbands, Four brand new scenarios, The Limes campaign system, New photographs, plenty of examples and explanitary text.
