Egil's Raid on the Welsh...

With the Campaign season drawing to a close, and the long sail home beckoning there was time for a last raid.  Egil decided to pick on the Welsh.  What could go wrong?


The Welsh King decides that he is staying home today.

Meanwhile down the road, the forces of barbarism loot and Plunder.


An isolated force of Vikings on the left.  The Welsh bring on their cavalry...


And the Welsh get some reinforcements on table, planning to frustrate the Vikings plan to plunder.


The Welsh King leads a big warband into the bog and gets it into schilltron.  Its proximity will stop the pillage of the village.


The Welsh charge their cavalry in a gamble to knock out the smaller warband.
Having used their skirmishers to annoy and frustrate the Vikings this was a bold or perhaps reckless plan.


Imagining they were Franks, lead by the Paladins of Charlemagne, the Welsh cavalry assault and break the Viking shield wall.  Glorious and a bit mad.


With the Viking's frustrated they withdraw, their only Plunder some pigs.  

And so to the Campaign scores, and it's only loot that concerns us!

But a last great raid against the Franks is planned...
