There are many stages of the battle before the charge, I think. Boasting and taunting your opponent, frex. And also scouting the enemy camp (although in this case it would be more correct to call it voyeurism)...

This certainly adds a new perspective to raiding and especially new motives for young to go raiding. Maybe they also prefer capturing young women instead of cattle, so that they can calmly court them back at home (and if the capture wasn't too violent, I think that the young women in question would have nothing to object, after all is as good a way as any other to make a trip outside their tula).
BTW, does the proto-feminist attitude and red-dyed hair make Vingans appear as Lunar sympathizers to the most traditionalist Orlanthi?
