Johan Carlson the drillmaster will start his Viking career by buying another gang of brave Vikings and training his 1st gang of brave Vikings.

Spoiler: Johan Carlson (click to show/hide)

Name:Johan Carlson
Appearance and favored weapon: A stereotypical looking Viking with a love of crossbows and not your average crossbows, oversized pneumatic crossbows
Skill: Drillmaster
Attributes: (1A/2D/1H)
Wealth: 3K credits(spending 2k)
Prestige: 0
Crew: 1 Viking Gang (2A/2D/10H/.2U)(buying and training a gang)

Question: Upkeep is only for raids right?

Correct!

Actactact: Hire 3 Viking Gangs for 3k Cr

Hire  3 Viking Gang  - 3K

I thought you could only recruit 1 squad per turn (without a training facility?)

Nothing has given us any indication that this applies to recruitment and not just training.

I've just read thru it and training takes a training facility and has limits.
But i just want basic recruits, there rules say nothing about how many of them it can have.

Since recruiting is apparently not a skill use, can I raid and recruit at the same time?

Yes you can! Recruiting/purchasing from the Market does not take an action. Training a unit to be a better Viking does take your action. Sorry for the confusion.

Edit:Made clarification in Main post. Also included the option to train the base Viking Gang for free for the Drillmaster with their action (probably not optimal to do but makes sense to me.)

Might not be 'optimal' but this drillmaster will be doing it.

why would anyone ever split their forces away from the Vanguard? I don't know how damage works in this game but it sure seems like there is safety in numbers.
Also, do main line units contribute to damage (attack) if the vanguard is alive?

Damage and Defense reduction is calculated all together between the Vanguard and Main body, just whoever is in the Vanguard is agreeing to take damage (and die/get wounded) first. You’re basically agreeing to take more risk of losing your forces in exchange for more shares/more reward (depending upon the Oath.)

But battle calculation wise it doesn’t make much of a difference on my end until you start unlocking special units.

Also, what is your policy on post editing Vs. double-posting?

Kind of! They will need to be assigned to a champion to follow, which you can work out with whoever. You cannot put them in a raid on their own/without a designated champion who will receive the spoils, however.

Edits are a-okay, though if it’s an auction situation or been awhile I’d say a new post is better.

[a1s]

I would like to offer up to 3 of my squads for hire, for 0.4k credits each (double upkeep.)

Aiven Aesdottir transfers the command of a Viking Gang to the undersigned for 1 turn, in exchange for 400 credits upon the completion of the raid. If the squad dies, the undersigned agrees to pay an additional 1000 credits instead of returning the command of the squad.

THESE BEINGS AGREE TO RAID AND SMASH THE TRADING TOWN WITH ALL APPROPRIATE BRUTALITY AND MERCILESSNESS!

MAINLINE UNITS WILL BE PAID EQUAL TO THEIR UPKEEP, MAY THE GODS PITY THEIR COWARDICE. IN THE EVENT OF INSUFFICINT SPOILS TO COVER THIS, RAID LEADER WILL FRONT THE COST.

THE VANGAURD WILL BE PAID THE REMAINING SPOILS, AND MUST AGREE TO A SPLIT. FAILING THAT, THEY WILL DUEL TO THE DEATH TO THE WINNER GOES THE SPOILS!
(One vanguard champion makes an offer -> others accept or refuse -> if refused, counteroffer -> if offers from all champions refused, default to duel)

Vanguard: (12A/16D/44H/0.8U)
(Raid leader) Kaerja T-560 (1A/2D/1H)
 - 1 Viking Gang (2A/2D/10H/.2U)

Goldsmith (1A/2D/1H)
 - 1 Viking Gang (2A/2D/10H/.2U)

Adun Axel (1A/2D/1H)
- 1 Viking Gang (2A/2D/10H/.2U)

Aiven Aesdottir (1A/2D/1H)

What actually happens in the event of a duel?

Modified combat between the two combatants, winner wins the dispute and gets half of the loser’s assets. The loser (typically) dies.
