Lock up Your Sheep

We had a game of Crescent and Cross/Saga at the club using mine Chris and Rory's figures.
We had a 4 way free for all between Saracens which Chris took Normans that i took Crusaders that Rory took and Vikings which Mick took.

The winner would be decided by points per figure killed.

Warlord = 5 points per figure
Knights/Hirdmen= 2 points per figure
Sergeants/Bondi/Warriors = 1 point per figure
Peasants/Thralls/ = 1 point per 2 figures
