Rousselot, Guillaume Pillage

Ransack the Middle Ages

A story-driven skirmish game set in the Viking Age and early Middle Ages, where every battle tells a story. Protect the village. Or burn it down. Will you stand your ground and defend your people, your treasures and your livestock from invading raiders? Or will you storm the enemy's land, plunder its riches and set everything in your path ablaze? Pillage puts you right in the thick of the action: climb, swim, fight and make every decision with care. What is Pillage? Whether you're storming enemy villages in search of loot or defending your home from fire and steel, Pillage combines fast-paced mechanics with rich, cinematic moments. Climb towers, dive into rivers, rescue civilians or set the world on fire no two games are the same. With its focus on storytelling, terrain and goal-oriented gameplay, Pillage transforms your miniatures into heroes, cowards and legends in a saga that you create yourself. Discover a system that is both accessible and deep, designed to recreate the iconic battles of the era: raids and pillages. Burn villages, loot spoils or future slaves, adapt your strategy to the weather, set sail on your longship or defend your sacred relics from the invaders from the north! This book focuses on the period from the raid on Lindisfarne Abbey in 793 to the Battle of Hastings in 1066, but can easily be adapted to conflicts from ancient times to the end of the Middle Ages. It is a time of upheaval and conquest, a world where kingdoms are forged with the tip of a spear, where raiders strike without warning, and where glory means securing a place of honour at the side of your god.
