#3 Hopefully they be sharpening their axes and priming the longboats.

#4 They probably need to refit the traditional transport with a few bofors though.

#5 We come from the land of the ice and snow, from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands, to fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming! On we sweep with threshing oar, our only goal will be the western shore... -- Led Zeppelin, The Immigrant Song

#6 Tkat:

Excellent point. I have considered this also and am wondering how they are going to take care of certain problems unique to the standard Viking longboat design. For example, how to prevent an over-eager Bofors gunner from shooting away the dragon head prow, or the stern post, or the main mast ?

I assume they will need some sort of cam-based gizmo to stop the firing mechanism when the gun swings into certain angles.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing what the top Viking weapons designers come up with.

#12 Tkat and Carl - a broadaxe buried in the forehead of a Jihadi Imam works nicely, even in this century
