The battle of Stockholm
The plan for the attack on Stockholm was simple, Leif Ericson would wait for the fighters from Norway, the elves from the south, hunters and scouts from hunters of the north and the dwarven warriors and would launch the attack once all had gathered at his camp at the lake. This force would be bigger, better trained and outnumber the goblins at Stockholm sadly this was not what happened this year.
the elves had send a warband of 60 men north lead by a young noble with two orders, join the attack and keep your force intact to defend the settlements in southern Sweden. His advance was a slow one with time taken to check for traps and ambushes and the news of his march reached the main goblin forces days while he was still days away. In response the goblins decided there only chance would be to attack and defeat both warbands facing them before they could unite.
The goblins knew where Leif's warband was and decided to attack him with all of the goblins in Sweden save a small group harassing and delaying the elves. The goblins managed to avoid Leif's scouts and got close his camp before one of the hunters spotted the approaching goblins. When the goblin charge reached the camp the warriors where still organizing and several warriors fought and died alone before
the suvivors formed groups that fought back to back. In the melee that followed the archers suffered heavy losses as our warriors regrouped.
As the battle continued Leif reorganized the fighters with a line of spearmen keeping the goblins away form the wounded and the remaining archers and the nobles launching charges where the goblins threatened to break the line. The goblins tried to break the line for several more minutes before retreating back towards Stockholm and the warband remained at its camp to threat the wounded before heading west to meet the men coming from Oslo.
The elvish force had spend a week skirmishing with the goblins until the dead of the forces leader lead to most of them return south. A small number of elves remained and fought a series of hit and run attacks in the following weeks.
After linking up with the troops from Norway the warband returned to Stockholm with a large force that included a group of dwarven warriors and several groups of hunters serving as scouts. Two weeks before they reached Stockholm goblins started to raid the warband once more but with thirty horsmen these raiders where repelled. At the battle of Stockholm the warband faced a depleted goblin force, the battles earlier in the year had lead to heavy losses that they where unable to replace. Leif ordered a advance of the shield wall supported by archers and kept the horsemen in reserve.
The result was a one sided defeat of the goblins with the horsemen chasing the handful of survivors as they fled. Stockholm and with it all of central Sweden was captured and it was time to talk about the aftermath. Besides plans to have more spears and fewer bows for our warriors what was decisions where made?
