    VI screenies?
    As far as i can see there isn't a single new unit shown in those 3 shots at the top.

    It appears that a poleaxe unit will be included for the Saxons(red). It may have the CFK sprites just to make the gameplay look complete. Remember those Byzantine Lancers I found disguised as Mercians?

    Another thing of note is that the Scots get a pike-esque unit, no doubt influenced by stories of the schiltron. I also saw a Jav unit in the Scottish army too.

    Oh and about the Chiv Knights... I think those are Royal Knights, but their image seems to be more like High royals than Earlies. Interesting.

    Oh and also another possible option for this:

    What if the Scots/Irish/Mercians/Northumbrians rebel in the normal game? Will they have their faction's Viking Era colors, and possibly some units?

    I also believe it is stamford bridge historic battle, or maybe some other historic england/ Scotland battle.

    Which comes as part of the VI package.

    Wasnt Stamford Bridge the battle King Harold fought against the Vikings shortly before the ill fated Battle of Hastings? The Normans had allied with the Vikings against the Anglo Saxons if I remember rightly.

    Or maybe I just dreamt it

    when thousands more weep than did laugh at it
