Hello Dai,

In other words that formation of Norse bodyguards was hardly representative for "ordinary" units of that kind (all princeling-units are arguably exceptions to regular troops) - in addition to that the circumstances was extremely favourable (hills, woods and rain). And facing the wrong troops as well (considering the terrain). The deed is mighty regardless, no question, but it certainly does set things into a more reasonable light. Having an base-armour of 5 does not make things any easier for the enemy either. Only high tier troops can hope to strike thru that thick armour by regular means (unless armour-piercing, of course, halbards, billmen etc. etc.).

Anyway, you seem to have plenty of fun with the Norse style of fighting - I guess that has to count for something as well here. They do have a very distinct and special "unit-profile" compared to all other factions. It is simpler, less complex and faster to develop - but also more restricted in both possibilities and capacities. Small, but very strong infantry-based armies essentially....
