I've also found out I could (and would!) add women to the ranks.

After all, it's just a month short of the 750th anniversary of the battle of Largs, which every Scottish schoolboy knows is when we kicked the Vikings out of our country (even if real life wasn't quite like this).Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556126903764105050.post-60192137947939019882013-09-01T08:11:26.381+01:002013-09-01T08:11:26.381+01:00I had to look up Carantania, but having done so it...I had to look up Carantania, but having done so it seems that Pagan Rus would be a very good basis for such a force.

If they were very unsure then I would try to help them with tactics and so on, mind.<br /><br />As for the base rims, I figured that something was needed to differentiate the 2 sides.

I know Colgar just didn't want his son to lose, becase we all know Vikings never lose unless it's on purpose. <br /><br />Very enjoyable report, I love what you did with base rims to recognise different factions.
