How to unlock the Forced March achievement in The Banner Saga - Definitive Guide
Don't rest, leave everywhere as fast as possible and skip time wasting additional events and restock on supplies before leaving.
Look random events up (here is a good guide with every outcome: http://hubpages.com/games-hobbies/The-Banner-Saga-Walkthroug...) they happen in chapter 4 and 6.
Skip battles when you've the chance.
Don't waste a day waiting out at the end of chapter 2.
Leave ridgehold directly at the end of chapter 3.
Don't recruit Onef in chapter 4, as you can cut down the time that would be wasted with the optional event playing out in chapter 6 with him.
Don't search for scales at marek godstone in chapter 4.
Don't do anything on the bridge in chapter 5, leave Eintartorf.
In chapter 6, don't fight when you reach the fork, take the detour, after Sigrholm, pay the people to help you cross the water.
The achievement will pop, once you've reached Boersgard and you're allowed to enter the town.
Additional advise: As you're travelling fast, you can pair this achievement with
You'll also don't fight that much, and as you'll skip Onef and the bridge in chapter 5 it woud be a good idea to also go for
Missable!
You should get this in step 1 on Normal. Never rest (but make sure you have supplies) and you'll get this when you reach Boersgard. If you want to do chapter 7 with green morale and you have ample supplies prior to Boersgard, then stop outside the city. Back up your data to the cloud. Get the trophy. Load your data so you're back outside and then rest however many times it takes to get to green though make sure they don't starve obviously. Don't worry if you're left with a small amount of supplies as the Ravens will give you a nice amount if you saved Sigbjorn and got the mead.
You'll want to couple this with the "Quartermaster" achievement. Check that description for tips, and make sure that in addition to leaving camp without resting that you are buying any food that is available and addressing any Random Events properly so that you do not increase your day count or lower your supply count.
I made it to Boersgard on Day 104, and the achievement unlocked after a short cutscene in the city after I was able to select a location to visit on the city map.
