BTW, MTW II really need the "Real" Danish/Anglo-Danish Huscarls to make an appearance with long chainmail, helmet, shield on their backs, sword at their side and the 2 m Daneaxe in their hand, Bring It On Norman Knights! The Bayeux Tapestry shows a guy wielding one of those axes killing rider and horse in one blow. This would take tremendous force though and both open the wielder for attacks from the dead man's friends and require room to swing, More often it would likely be used like a meat chopper hacking and slicing, is has a real good cutting shape and edge. But I tell you, though it is not my favourite weapon, I have wielded it and it has tremendous force when wielded by a strong and skillful man. Pity the poor sods facing the Hird/Huscarle...
