Bjorn, I noticed that this word leidang is mentioned several times, but it isn't really described much more than being naval levies.
So I thought I would ask a few questions:
Is a leidang similar to the descriptions of Coasters/Keelboats? Basically a large catch-all for small row/sail-based vessels that are primarily manned by peasents, have poor seaworthiness and generally small cargos.
-
It's the same as the Danish "Leding"
"a system organising a coastal fleet with the aim of defence, coerced trade, plunderings, and aggressive wars."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leidang
Unless Bjørn is using it otherwise, but to know that I need a specific page reference.
-
It is mentioned three times in the Regent Guide, but never in that type of reference. Just search the guide for it (the page numbers are screwy anyways).

Naval levy

Naval levy
I wasn't clear enough.
All that is known about the leidang is that it is a naval levy.
But...
Can it transport cargo?
What is its seaworthiness?
Hits?
Attack values?
Do they shoot fire and leave create waves of gold?

You'll have to await (in dread) the coming of the Oar and Sail chapter...
