Turn 2Vikings 39A/42D/183H/3.6U vs 25 militia and 5 soldiers, total (35A/65D/300H)
With the first wisps of the sun breaking through the dawn chill, the warriors of the Great Big Stonking Raid begin their charge, only to be met by concentrated laser fire. The outer edge of the city was overwhelmed, the raiders cutting through the first line of defenders, but they fortfied their positions too well and overwhelmed the raiders with sheer numbers. Pressed back, the surviving warriors have no choice but to flee.
In the fighting Ericson slew 6, Axel 3, and Estrid engulfed another 6 with her inferno pistol.
Raid fails, garrison loses 6 units of militia
Casualties: Ericsson loses 3 Viking Gangs
Axel loses 3 Viking gangs
Estrid loses 2 Viking gangs
Vikings 23A/24D/111H/2.2U Vs 15 militia (15A/30D/ 150 H)
The mining companies hired more guards and armed their overseers to protect their consolidated operations, but that proved to be insufficient in the face of the determined Viking assault. A brutal brawl ensued, in which Aiven tore through 10 enemies with her modified laser pick. The foe broke before the raiders, and mines (and the wealth there) were liberated!
10 kills by Aiven
Victory! Spoils 16.8 kc and 2 units of cold steel; Aiven gains 2 prestige.
Aesdottir loses 3 Viking gangs
Odinsson loses 2 Viking gangs
With the first ship built, more raiding targets have become available!
With the failed assualt on Iscariot, some of the warriors fell into a frothing rage and attacked with renewed vigor. With warriors clamoring to be in the vanguard, some have recalled the old tales of Berserkers tearing their way through enemy lines.
