The opening moves , the Scots won initiaive and were attacking most of the terrain ended up on Keith McAlpins side of the field.
Switching around to view from the other flank , looking at the field from the Scots left flank.
Keith McAlpins cunning plan was to attack on the left and hold on the right and centre.
So you can see most of the left flank here. Blue arrows are the Scots of course!
It seems to be working so far , the Scots have the numbers on the left flank.
But do they have the quality here ?
It's ON!
A mighty clash of shields and spears , an exchange of disruption , but the Vikings have the edge.
But what are those Cavalry doing , Dam Nobles ! who let them out. They are in a bad spot , the Spearmen are about to break.
I should have sent them up the flank as I inteneded but .... oh well.
The Cav are disrupted , the Spear have broken , but the Scots are slaying Generals left right and centre , even the Viking IC goes down to the brave Scots!
A few more tunrns , 3 Vikings Generals dead and a few good rounds of good dice for the Scots and it's all over.
The Thegns get stuck in finally !
So a good close battle The Vikings broke on 10 we had lost about 8, I think it was going well for the Vikings early on , but losing 3 Generals doesn't not help the cause , I was impressed with the Scots and will develop the army a bit more, I had two units of light Horse and the little BG of 4 armoured Cav , that I used poorly , so I will give them another go.
I held the Thegns back a bit too long , perhaps I should have thrown them in earlier , but they finished off well.
The BG's of 8 Spear worked OK , I ran them 3 wide in most cases , expanding when I had the numbers.
