12 Points, 6 Players! Vikings vs Normans

*Warlord names definitely NOT a result of Norman propaganda... We got in a big game at The Game Vault in Fredericksburg VA. 3 to a side! I faced off against Eric, and really our game was essentially a 1v1. Thus, this battle report will be focusing on Steveaux the Friendly and Eric the Cheaty!
