Thanks to Martin S for suggesting a go at Fantasy Forces, a "light-weight" (their words) skirmish type game aimed at introducing new players to the hobby. Consequently it's nice and easy and doesn't tax the old grey matter too much. I did find it involved a lot of dice rolling but all the measuring was done with a single 20cm bit of card, so that was easy to remember (ignore the grid on the board).
So I dug out a few single based figures and had a play. Friar Bernard has been kidnapped by some Hollywood-Vikingesque raiders and is being held hostage in a ruin. Sir Percy rounds up some "volunteers" to help in the rescue.
