“Guthrums back!
And this time he’s bringing 5,000 spear Danes to Wareham.”

Alfred the Great: War in the West Country 876AD is the second game in a series that takes place in the “what-if?” scenario of the great Viking fleet not being sunk by the great storm at Swanage. Red King Games is selling the game for print-and-play for only $7.50 over at Wargame Downloads.

You can snag a free demo of the game to give it a shot before committing to a purchase, but at $7.50 you may as well just pull the trigger if you’re interested.
