Heroquest, like leaping from Wintertop. Using a Mostali super-cannon (Jules Verne-esque).

The East Isles! {yelled while jumping up and down}
The whole sheep vs cattle discussion about the Sartarites made me think a bit about the cultural analogues we use. The cattle supremacy seems very grounded in irish legend and history, which fits with a celtic analogue for orlanthi culture. However, I am wary of close real world analogies for Glorantha, so I started to ponder a secondary one for the sartarites.
People have told how they played Sartar as hellenic, with the cities and the armour and weapons depicted in the RQ 2 rulesbook. Personally I use a minoan/ mycenaean/general mediterranean primary analogue for the Holy Country.
If I stretch that a bit, into iron age Hellas, the ionians (mainly) built colony cities and interacted with wild and unruly barbarians in the forests and mountains to the north. That does sound a bit like king Sartar, no?
So, there I was, with thracians as my secondary analogue for the orlanthi of Sartar. Comments, ideas, flames?
