I've been watching Vikings and am at season 2. They have used the shield wall rather effectively against a superior number of troops multiple times. I am wondering if the show accurately represents their fighting culture and styles.
It’s not that good, but not that bad. In terms of combat styles. But i haven’t watched it all that much so it’s hard to tell. In terms of the clothing itself, it’s absolutely horrible. Not a single good thing (except for no horned helmets) in terms of combat clothing.
