Viking longships, were they really that combat effective?

[Warspite]

Frankly, the example Jimmy has Pict is incorrect.  What Olaf!  I am surprised he even Daned to post it.  The Angles are all wrong. The ships as drawn -- rather Slavenly I might add -- could never stand up to a Gael in open ocean.  The Franks, who should be in terror, are making no attempt to seek Mercia.  I could point out Moor errors, but I just Kent go on right now.

Get a Leif.

The Manga the picture of the Vikings carrying longships is from is this one, I believe.

It's from one of the first chapters, it's an awesome manga.

Reading this makes me cringe with embarrassment. But then I remember how Manga depicts other non-japanese cultures.

I think it's probably the most accurate manga about a pre-modern non-Japanese culture I've seen.

Yeah, basically how we depict Asian culture. Only crazier.

I wouldn't know; I've read a few pages, and that is all. I didn't like it much. The art style is distinctive enough that I recognised it from Tim's post though.
