Valkyrie

Card
Text

Play after any Secret or Top Secret that has resulted in dead people (not "leave for a neutral country", etc.). You may immediately harvest one-half (round down) of the dead to your nation. (Can play after loss by you or any nation.)

Additional Notes and Information:

In Norse mythology, the Valkyries ("choosers of the dead") ride over any battle site and carry off the bravest and fiercest warriors, so that Odin can use them during Ragnarok.

The icon is a horned helmet and a buckler, staples of long Germanic operas, some of which mention Valkyries. OK, so it's tenuous. But I certainly wasn't going to be able to MS-Paint a shieldmaiden on her winged horse, now, was I?
