Editing Saga (section)

==Historical or not?==
Some hardcore historical wargamers have questioned the accuracy of Saga's game system, claiming it doesn't accurately depict the way groups of warriors fought in this period. Such people are clearly idiots. We have NO WAY OF KNOWING how dark age combat worked, the events of the game took place over 1000 years ago and the only surviving evidence we have to go on is the scribblings of a few of monks who were more concerned with proving the existence of 'miracles' and the virtues of praying before a battle than analysing tactics and strategy. Therefore sure, the game might be completely historically inaccurate, but the same goes for every other toy-soldier game set in this period, so stop bloody moaning!

Then again, it's pretty accurate to how some drunk Vikings around a fire told their.. well, Sagas of their battles.

If you are interested in knowing how Vikings conducted raids in the dark ages gather your mates, go to Norway, buy some axes and sail back to England and attempt to nick all of the bling from the first Catholic church/monastery you come across... actually that's not a bad idea, now where did I put my chainmail?
