Stirring stuff.

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.

I agree, Vikings need to strike quick, the AD's need to slow them down and load them up with fatigue.

Yeah, load them up with Fatigue, use the Intimidation ability, and don't be afraid to turtle up when under attack, then counter-attack in your own turn when they're exhausted!

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.
