Roach XI the Magnificent
Squire
Skot the Sanguine said:Don't also forget that vikings used bows plenty, so it isn't as though the samurai could just stay out of range and pepper them with arrows. Where they would have the problem is that if the Samurai refrained from giving battle and simply shadowed the Viking army, at some point the Vikings must rest, eat, or travel back to a settlement...at which time the Samurai might attack quickly and cause casualties. You see crap like that happen all the time with the Mongols, who were of course horse archers as well.
Yes, we all know that. Samurai cannot go toe to toe, but they have the one advantage of mobility. That's it.
