Yeah, I also have major issues with this fight either way you cut it. As it stands now, things are unfair for the Vikings because their tiny 10-foot ship with its crew of 40 is outnumbered by hundreds of Carthaginians in a behemoth of a ship. It's like putting a little skiff of Somali pirates up against a regular warship in terms of ship and crew sizes here.

Even if you fix this glaring issue, however, we still have to realize that the Vikings have over a 1,000-year technological advantage over their opponents. That's not even a contest. You shouldn't have to ask who would win between a warrior from the 800s and 900s AD and one from the last centuries BC. So I'll raise a formal fairness challenge here.
