Why fantasy shills vikings so much? They were so fucking awful they couldn't win despite crushing numerical advantage

They were a big deal cuz most of europe's wealth was wrapped up in churches and monasteries that just assumed no-one would attack them cuz basically everyone who mattered was a Christian.

So, I just asked everybody across 1000 years of European history, and none of them have heard of Clausewitz or Sun Tzu.
I guess nobody reads the same books you do, user. I'm sure that makes you the smartest person in the room.
Is that enough (You) for you?
Matthew Walker
... why would you ask Europeans in the last 1000 years if they've read Sun Tzu or Clausewitz?
Clausewitz wrote On War over fifteen years and it was published in 1832.
Sun Tzu is - as the name might sort of suggest - Chinese.
How the fuck do you expect the average European Noble of 1532 to have even heard of either of those?
You invented a time machien for just this purpose, then proceeded to do the most staggeringly stupid thing when you could have been out there fucking assassinating Hitler.

Are you retarded? He's saying that it's not strange if a siege only 'tilted' 2.5:1 is going to end in a victory for the defenders, and you'd have to not know how sieges work to be surprised
Ian Ortiz
It was a siege that ended with a treaty that gave Rollo and his men large tracts of land in france?
Liam Wright
A swamp yeah.
Gabriel Collins
Not that I don't believe you're right, but you must've dug deep to find out the region was a swamp, almost like you were specifically looking for a reason the vikings were bad.
Since ctrl+f'ing the treaty, neustria and normandy gave me no such result.
Ryder Stewart
I see you want to turn it into a military achievement but that's more about frogs being fucking tards than vikangz being good at warfare.
