What about the moors though?

Vikings lost to everyone they were just raiders and when faced with an actual army they would run. They only seemed scary because they looked scary and could be anywhere without warning. They were only used by the Byzantine because they were cheap and had no stake in Greek infighting.
They got BTFO by stone-age native Americans. They weren't anything special except as mariners.

The Vikings killed way more Skraelings than vice Versa, there was just a shitload more of them

And your proof of this is.....?
The coast around Galicia is very dangerous at certain times of the year, my theory is the vikings were forced to come ashore and had to fight to the death against the vengeful inhabitants.
>>1336349
They say so.

They the Norse or they the injuns? Either way:
>oral history
Or
>exxagersting numbers to make themselves feel less btfo
Either way you know nothing of historiography.

Yet even generations later they still feared their retribution
>When winter came, it was a general belief that the Kavdlunait would come and avenge the death of their countrymen

Is it difficult to believe that a modern militia with modern tactics could totally decimate an opposing force?
There weren't a lot of Vikings to die in the first place, so losing two guys, as the sagas record, would have been a significant loss.
It wasn't like they had a colonial army there

It also isn't like they claim to have fought off a confederated tribe of warriors or anything.
Likely, it was just a tribe that got pissed and attacked.
How many men would be in a Skraeling tribe, and is it an unreasonable figure to assume they got decimated by a modern people?
These are the questions you have to ask when you question figures.

Also the vikings weaponry would be far more advanced than that of the skraelings

That post is hyperbolic on the border to retardness.
Filthy contrarian
>>1336594
Then why did they always lose to the galacians.
>>1336741
Your post is in no way related to my post.
Someone said the vikings lost all their battles.
I said that's hyperbolic.
Whenever or not they always lost against one single people when they could win against others isn't interesting.

Korea reporting in.

You are indeed right.

To be able to defeat someone you actually needs to encounter someone.
