My impression is that Anglo Danes are good at sticking fatigue points on their opponents. If they can force the Vikings to attack with 2 or 3 fatigue points then reducing Viking armour and improving their own defence can make all the difference.

Janner the Vikings are on me before I can load them up on fatigue plus they always seem to use odin ability

Totally. AD's are a great defense/counter-attack faction. Norman and Vikings are good for head on attacks and need to move quick, but a good tactic of the AD's and Welsh and other defensive factions is to make them work a bit longer so you can load your enemy with fatigue. Slow their movement with fatigue, lower their armor and raise yours.
