« on: 16 October 2015, 10:58:02 PM »
A battle report in Vinland with the vikings foraging for food. No telling what they find!

A friendly hint mate- hope you don't mind? :)

I've always found that it's much better to post up a pic or two if you want folk to follow a link to a blog or website, that way folk may well have had their interest piqued and follow the link.

Hope you don't mind me pointing this out? :)

Yeah, I did click, and I'm glad I did, but sometimes if there's no pic, I don't bother.

Anyway, that's a really good report, and the pics are very atmospheric. And I loved the bear.

Thanks for the tip! I really appreciate it. Learning from each other is one of the main points of these forums.

If you want another tip, link to the actual post in your blog, instead of the blog itself, that way, if someone comes across this thread in a few months time, they will be able to jump straight to the relevant battle report, instead of having to dig through dozens of other posts.

Oh yeah, and don't wear white after Labor Day, and never get involved in a land war in Asia.

That song crossed my mind several times while playing!
And will do with the link. I'm still earning a lot about this technology stuff.

Cool battle report.
Bad day for the Vikings.
The skraelings defeat the Vikings,
but bearly  :D kill the beast.
Hope to see more reports from the New World.

Thanks for the comments! Keep an eye on the blog. Reports with skraelings should show up periodically.... Unless something else draws my attention away
