>What is Battle of Nations?
The Battle of the Nations is an international historical medieval battles world championship, first held in 2009, in Kharkiv, Ukraine and held in Europe, in April, every year since.
It is a full contact competition using metal weapons and a standardized list of rules. National teams compete in several standard events, with all being full contact - no stage reenactment battles are included.
Teams from up to 25 countries have entered the tournaments.


Come support your countries!

when are you "dead"? when you fall to the ground or?

>Italian internet connection
Yeah, 3 points on the ground =out

The funniest thing is that we will probably beat the shit out of the British team, once again

How does one start a team?

>that fucking lag

If you have some historical clubs in your country you join them
Otherwise you try to find like minded people and start a club
This shit is pretty expensive though

By entering the local tavern

>hey, who wants to beat the shit out of people with armors by hitting them with swords and axes?

I imagine he will have some trouble explaining to other Philippians who they just won't shoot each other

Yes, you need at least 5 fighters for group fights

>There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then... a young... stupid kid who made that terrible move. I want to talk to him. I want to try
and talk some sense to him. Tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone... and this old man is all that's left

i fucked up the greentext lads ignore this post

it's just that scotland is big enough to warrant having a separate team
wales and NI are too small

Is there a proper schedule?
When are the 3v3 meme fights going to be?

info/news/en-battle-of-the-nations-2018-world-championship-schedule

How does Friesland have a team and why dont they have a symbol since historically they did?

3v3 fights were only for women this year they are performing 5v5

This is actually super old image, like from 2015 or so

At least they sorted the stream out finally

nothing battle-by-battle though?

What's been the schedule today? Any good memes?

I've missed it all ffs

nvm I say that and then notice the commentary is like 5 seconds ahead of the video somehow.

Is there a women's division? We have a bunch on our team and I don't see them standing after some overhead halberd strike by a Slav. A bunch of ours also look a bit rough.

heem sleepy

Yeah, there are even women 5vs5 this year

>Germany
shameful

Germany cucked

No Belgian backdoor.

Stream is ded

do you have a new one?

I think Prague was by far the best BotN recently. Barcelona kinda sucked and this isn't starting well.

It's all ogre now. Small arena still online.

Yeah, 2015-2016 botns were the best. East Europe is just better suited for this kind of events than a Southern one

Oh these longsword duels are much more entertaining than "hack at his legs" sword and shield duels.

>get crashed the balls
?

Someone explain this to me, what are they doing and how does one "win"

you heard the man

In duel - by hits, in mass battles - lost equip/weapon, falled - u r ded.

Currently we do not know what they are doing because strim is ded
Normally you need to make your opponent fall both by wrestling and hitting him with dull weapons

Why didn't they hype this one up well? I saw them post a Youtube trailer a few days ago saying something like coming soon
I get no further updates and suddenly they've actually started today wtf

Stream is alive. Czechs are getting BTFO by eternal Anglo

I have no idea.
They should stream this on Twitch, could be fun

>englisch fighter Pavel Zhunev from Yekaterinburg
Lol

What a shitshow, not exactly close to any heated combat

>english
fix

Expert itt, get to the D&D championship!

Wouldn't 15 thicclads that can push fuckers to the ground just steamroll this?

Fat people are actually not that good at it.
See: US team performance every year

it gets lame cause the rules forces the teams to do some ridiculous tactics

Fatties suck at it.

I mean like 15 guys in bear mode

The Russians are especially known for using grapples and weight redistribution to flip over the fatties that try it.

>England vs. France
Oh Jesus deliver us from evil!
