In memory of Allen C. Halden
“A tale is but half told when only one person tells it.” –The Saga of Grettir
Ravenfeast was written by Al Halden in 2010, a beloved and long-time member of our historical miniature wargaming club. Al was a fellow gamer and a good friend. His love of Viking sagas and lore drove him to write Ravenfeast so that we could lead our own Viking warbands to glory. It was Al’s firm belief that the best wargaming rules were short, which is almost certainly why he based Ravenfeast on a free, one-page set called “One Page Fantasy Skirmish” by John David Slor. Al’s incredible enthusiasm, infectious laugh, and immeasurable knowledge of the hobby and history are sorely missed around the tables of our club. This book would not be possible without him, and it is in his honor that we are publishing this guide for beginners to the hobby. Al, you are very much missed at the club. One day, we shall all raise a pint of ale together again. Until then, we hope this book honors your dedication to the hobby. |
