This is the battle plan for Anvard. 

&#x200B;

250 men under Prince Rollo the Crusader are currently camped outside the village in Bjorsland, an enemy force of over 100 men from the Wolfpack is marching toward them, meanwhile blood dragon ships have been spotted landing an army of well over 200 in Bjorsland as well.

&#x200B;

The army of the Grimwood 125 strong. upon defeating the wild beasts, will leave a small detachment behind to colonize, and will race along the coastline to Bjorsland which is only a short journey up the coast. 

&#x200B;

Hopefully the Viking shield wall holds at Orsca, and they are able to withstand the kidnappers... If not they will be avenged.

&#x200B;

Currently the Viking fleet (45 men 5 ships) will meet up with the dakathori mercenaries (Numbers unknown) in old ironpeak lands and carry them toward Bjorsland as well. They will either arrive in time to fight blood ships in the open water, or else burn their empty ships while they fight my main army on land. They will then land and provide reenforcements in the battle.

&#x200B;

My crusader fleet, will join up with the Viking fleet as they sail past the Grimwood. Carrying whatever part of the Grimwood army that couldn't find a stead.

&#x200B;

Note I still have a significant vanguard at Cair Anvareth...

&#x200B;

That leaves prince Rollo in command of 75 heavy Calvary and nearly 200 infantry, with an additional 100 men coming by sea, plus whatever mercenaries dakathori provide. 

&#x200B;

I do not ask my Western alliance allies to intervene in this fight, as long as no other glory seeker attacks me. If anyone senses an opportunity to attack me while I'm down, I will be forced to call upon my allies.

The Empire strikes back...
