Strategikon of Saga: Kansas City podcast of Tactics for Saga, a miniatures game from Studio Tomahawk

We are 6 months out from Adepticon 2027 here in North America and Saga has expanded with the new location. We take some time to talk through the upcoming event schedule and all the new things being added to the weekend. DJ is coming back as the head TO and he walks us through the outline and what to expect over the 5 days.

The Aggressor is known for being someone who is in your lines before you finish placing your dice. Learning how to be aggressive is not just about sending every unit you have downrange, it is about getting ahead of the opponents decision cycle and leading the tempo of the game. I welcome Charlie from Arkansas onto the podcast. Charlie is known for his aggressive playstyle and yelling Git Sum!

Figuring out how you play and what are your strengths and weaknesses in Saga can be done. Today we are discussing Saga playstyles. I have had some fun and created a short questionnaire around 4 play styles. The 4 playstyles are Aggressor, Controller, Opportunist, and Calculator. I have received a lot of feedback from the community with quiz results and today we are diving feet first into The Controller playstyle. Thank you Luke for starting a lot of this discussion years ago and now talking through your playstyle on todays episode.

Adepticon in the United States has an event unique to miniature wargaming, and it is a Parade of Armies to show off the most unique, best painted displays and armies from the team tournaments. I have brought on the reigning winner from the Parade of Armies, who also builds Saga displays, to share some of his insight into how and why you should build displays. Displays are a way to set the scene and fully finish the story for a warband. Thank you Adam for sharing your thoughts and time!

Here in the Midwest of the United States we have a unique tournament that has now been around for years. It is called doubles where each team has two teammates playing at the same time against another team. Each player has 4 point warbands making a total of 16 points and 4 warlords on one table competing for the top spot. I have invited my doubles partner on to talk through how we decide and conceptualize this unique format. Give it a try if you are not from the Midwest as it can be a fun night of Sage for you and 3 other friends.
