Vikings vs. Mongols: Warfare Reimagined

Viking raiders conquered coastlines with raw brutality, but Mongol horse archers rewrote

warfare itself across continents. Viking raider from 9th century Scandinavia versus Mongol horse

archer from 13th century Central Asia. Open terrain, both in prime condition,

weapons of their era. Vikings drilled in shield walls and close combat

while Mongols mastered archery from age three on horseback. Viking brings axe, shield,

and chainmail for devastating melee power. Mongol carries composite bow with 300 yard

range and hit and run mobility. Viking needs to close distance and break through arrow

volleys. Mongol must maintain distance and exhaust opponent with superior range.
