Yes, ATW period is 481 to 684 AD, so no Vikes for us!

Anyway you should have a look at our various previews.


Anglosaxons would ride horses to battle if they had them but would send them away before battle began. They fought on foot in traditional germanic fashion.
Not totally true. Saxons do have good cavalry, especially Jutish people, even if they rather like to fight unmounted. The english word "Knight" come from the saxon "Cnith". In ATW germanic factions got access to 2 cavalry units, Rideras, light cavalry armed with framea ; and Cnithas, mounted athelings.

And just read the De Bello Gallico, Cesar is saying the Germans are from the best horsmen, even if it is centuries before the viking age.
