thank you. makes sense. i  previous was thinking i had to purchase the 4 units of Berserkers for 540 and than reallocate them to other qualifying. units.

let me make this a simpler question for Richard.

if I have a two Huscarl units and replace two of the stands on each with berserkers, do i need to purchase the berserker unit of 4 stands for 450?

you shouldn't be so snippy, your a moderator. we all don't have the experience you have. I am fairy new to this game and can do without the sarcasm, thank you for your previous answer. even if it didn't answer my question specifically. dumb down the answers so beginners understand them.

I make a viking list of 5 Huscarls(978 points each unit)at 6 stand .
now i buy a berserker 4 stands for 540.

  if i add 1 berserker stand to a Huscarl unit, i must remove a Huscarl stand to make room for the Berserker, right? so i lose 163 pts worth of Huscarl stand? if i replace 4 for Huscarl stands for Berserkers i lose 642 pts. even if i paid 540 for 4 berserker stands i am losing 642 of Huscarl. that doesn't seem right.

or do i just replace Huscarl stand for berserkers stands straight up without purchasing the berserkers for 540 pts?
please let me know.

so if the general is behind the unit, no plus on dice roll. if he is in the front of the unit the whole unit gets a plus 1? or just  stand he is in front of?

Will, good idea. Just got my Vikings from Europe today.

thanks, you been helpful

I am looking at the viking list and I have a question.
1. what is the term regrade  before 900CE refers too? I see the different stats for combat, but still can you explain. i went to a public school
2. Huscarls are infantry , but under optional, it states that they are dismountable. does that mean they cam be mounted as cavalry?
3. Hirds and Huscarls appear to mean the same thing in dictionary , both refer to household guard, personal guards. what is the difference in this game.

thanks for any answers.
