Pillage: Ransack the Middle Ages – 28mm Wargaming Rules (Hardcover)

"Protect the village. Or burn it to the ground."

Pillage is a narrative-driven skirmish game set in the Viking Age and early medieval period, where every battle tells a story. Will you defend your people, treasures, and livestock from invading raiders — or storm enemy lands, loot their riches, and set fire to everything in your path? Written by Guillaume Rousselot (Noodle Wargames).

What is Pillage?

Pillage blends fast-paced mechanics with rich, cinematic moments. Climb towers, dive into rivers, rescue civilians, or set the world ablaze — no two games are ever the same. With its emphasis on storytelling, terrain, and objective-based play, Pillage turns your miniatures into heroes, cowards, and legends in a saga of your own making.

Explore a system that is both accessible and deep, designed to recreate the iconic raids and pillaging of the period. Burn villages, capture loot, adapt your strategy to the weather, embark on your Longship, or defend your sacred relics from northern invaders. This book focuses on the period from the 793 raid on Lindisfarne Abbey to the Battle of Hastings in 1066, but can easily be adapted to conflicts from Antiquity through to the end of the Middle Ages.
