By the Sword!

Gameplay

By the Sword! is a game purported to be derived from a poem composed by a Nordic ruler of the later Dark Ages era named Bendigeid, which describes a battle in the form of a wargame and its complete rules.[1]

Reception

Fred Askew reviewed By the Sword! in The Space Gamer No. 58.[1] Askew commented that "If you would like to include large battles in your FRP world and don't mind learning a fairly complex new game system, look at this title. If you are not interested in large battles, or don't want to learn any involved rules, this is not for you. I recommend that anyone interested in fantasy should at least look this game over. It's not perfect, but a great deal of work has gone into it."[1]
