Midgard being a mass battle ruleset has the common sense of bringing the armies together in relatively open terrain.
Infamy! Infamy! where the forces represent smaller numbers generally has much denser terrain - lending itself to ambushes etc. I christened similar terrain for Dux Brit as "Shaggy Britain".?

I've just played a game of Infamy! Infamy! where [Foundry] Romans overcame Gauls [Minifigs painted 50 years ago when I was a student]. I enjoyed it immensely as it had been a few months since my last outing with these rules.

I decided to run Midgard next but on the same table set up which is in wild country including a river with only one small ford. It's proving an interesting challenge though with the Midgard rules the terrain is more a nuisance than a real hindrance. [I've counted the shallow river as a stream for the rules].?

The battle [Arthur and Aelle lists from the rulebook] is still ongoing so no final verdict yet. However, if you're looking for a change and not in too competitive amood i.e. looking for narrative, why not try Midgard on Infamy! Infamy! dense terrain. It's an interesting command challenge.
