Re: New proposal variant for hnefatafl
I'm very glad you think so! It worked out very well for my games too. It added another layer of strategy and options that I enjoyed very much. i hope others try this out so we can get more minds around this variant. Thanks Xerxes for testing this out!

Re: New proposal variant for hnefatafl
I'm not surprised white had a huge advantage in your few games.. using the FM multiple times in one move in addition with a normal move definitely over powers the forcing units back maneuver.. especially when white starts out the game in a good FM position. Try using it with how I answered your ques...

One FM per turn 3. Yes 4. Not all pushing units have to move. Just the required amount. 5. The FM is unable to b...

Re: Where to buy the game?
It might be a little pricey if it's an international purchase but www.norseamerica.com sells a nice set. At least concerning the pieces.

Re: New proposal variant for hnefatafl
Yeah I also might say that the king can be captured by the corners as well. Unless if you think all this is too much weakness for the king?

Re: New proposal variant for hnefatafl
