I played a game of "Dominion of the Spear" to show how quickly the game plays out. I will not be giving a description of the rules; as mentioned, I think the price is low enough that most gamers could buy a set if they really want to play. By the way, to took less time to play the game as it is taking me to type out this posting.

The Picts (on top) attack the Saxon army. |
|
At the end of turn one: a unit of ferocious Saxons have eliminated the Pict archers on the left. A unit of Pict spearmen eliminated a Saxon Spear unit on the right. |
|
The Picts move a spear unit to replace the archers; the Saxons move up a Spear unit on their right. |
|
Turn 2: On the Saxon left the ferocious Saxon Spearmen are broken, but not before eliminating the Spearmen in front of them. In the center the ferocious Saxon spearmen break the Picts in front of them. |
|
End of turn 2: the Picts put their last spearmen to face the Saxon left; the Pict horsemen attack the center. The Saxons feed in their last reserves to the left. |
|
Once again on the Saxon left both Spear units fight, and both units are demoralized and break. In the center, the ferocious Saxon spearmen eliminate the Pict horsemen, and the last Pict Spear unit is eliminated. The Saxon win a hard fought battle! |
Sounds like the rules are good when you want a quick game and get the miniatures out on to the tabletop.
