Whilst browsing through a couple of books,lastnight,I came across some very interesting facts about the Vikings-they actually invaded parts of Spain and Portugal, as well as venturing to Africa!!-Now that's food for thought for another wild campaign!-Moors and Vikings and Christian Spanish armies fighting each other......................
These are the facts that I unearthed,so that I could plan a campaign(maybe!).
Possible routes for the Vikings-I have armies in 25mm for all the proposed participants.
Possible battles,as per the map-interesting.How I find time to do household chores I just don't know!!
How very curious - what did they do with their longships whilst crossing Spain? Did they follow rivers?
ReplyDeleteHI Mark,Man of Tin-good question!-however the map and route is for the forthcoming(?) campaign and not histoical-they were granted land in the Quadalquivir valley,so I must assume the river was navigable!
DeleteThanks for interesting comment,keep reading,cheers

Well that should keep you out of harm's way during the next lockdown. I hope Daph has ample entertainment lined up too. You had best finish the hoovering and the Roman campaign first. Take care
ReplyDeleteChris,busy,busy,busy,hardly 5 minutes to myself!!!!-let's hope a total lock-down doesn't happen.

Great plan John, though probably requires some rum
ReplyDeleteAhoy Matey-some rum?-lots of rum!!!-I think,if I go ahead with this,it will take alot of planning,so I'd better get a good supply of "coke" in!! Cheers,
