Somewhere in Frankia lives the famous swordsmith Ulfberth. know far and wide for his "magical" swords that carries his signature along the blade.
The mighty Viking warlord Ubbe has set his mind on becomming king. But kingdoms are not made they are carved out with a sword. And what better swords to use than the Ulfberth swords? Therefore Ubbe has set sail to Frankia to find the legendary swordsmiths forge and get him to make weapons for the comming raiding season.
However Ubbe has not been carefull enough as he aproaches the village of Ulfberth. The alarm has been raised and Ulfberth is already gathering his men to fight off Ubbe.
Some of the village warriors prepare to make a stand on the bridge to give the rest of Ulfberths forces time to gather.
Ubbes raiding party advance on the village.
Ubbes berserkers don't have time to get to the bridge they try to just wade the river.
As the enemy gathers in front of the bridge the defenders charge!
They are amed with the deadly Ulfberth swords and carve a bloody swathe through Ubbes men and sell their lives dearly.
As the last defenders of the bridge die. Ubbes men start to cross the bridge and swarm into the village.
But the defenders on the bridge has delayed Ubbes men long enough for the rest of the villagers to get armed and ready. Now the fight for Ulfberths forge really begins.
Village archers flank round to shoot the berserkers in the back.
Ubbe sensing victory within his grasp challenges Hakon the village chief to single combat.
But is brutally cut down.
A great melee erupts in the village square.
The village warriors taunt the berserkers into throwing themselves against their shieldwall. Where they are cut down.
This really ends the battle after this there is only the mobbing up of a few surviving attackers.
This was supposed to be a three player scenario, but Dr. The Viking crapped out... So this was really a last moment attempt to change the three player scenario into a two player one For Erik and myself. We actually played this scenario through two times with some tweaking the second time round. The report is based on the second game. It still need a bit of tweaking to be really good I think. But it was fun none the less.
