[Public TvT] Kings river dares dive

Description

The British mastery of the Sea has transformed the Scandinavian coastline into a sprawling front line. The Saxon forces have shifted from opportunistic seasonal raiding to a systematic campaign of conquest. Their shallow draft boats allowing them to penetrate deep into the Scandinavian heartland via inland rivers, effectively rendering traditional land defenses obsolete.

This mobility created a lethal logistical gap: while the Saxons "leapfrog" along the coast at the speed of the wind, the Responding forces are forced to march overland across muddy roads and marshes. By the time the Ledung (militia) arrived to defend a town, the Saxons had often already sacked it, re-boarded their ships, and sailed to a new target fifty miles away.

However there is now a change in tactics from the Saxon forces. They are aiming directly at military facilities aiming to gain a foothold of land rather than just raiding.
