>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.

Meh, who needs the headbutt filmed anyway.
>>74218655
Perhaps this will be the year
Did the commentators die?
>>74218551
Properly made armor apparently do its job.
They are basically wearing 3 layers of armor, so the only real injuries that can occur is flaws in armor.

Does Ebinland participates, this year?
I know its >Germany but >we are actually looking pretty good this year
Are larger shields not allowed or people just don't use them because they're easier to hook and grab?
>the numbers are Dwayneing
What did he mean by this
Spain just got ANNEX'D
>>74219110
smaller shields are lighter, handier and also more effective at bashing
>>74219110
Small shields are more agile and better for kicking etc. I guess tower shields might be banned.
>>74219071
Yesh!
>>74219043
It'll go on till like 9 pm their time, ss don't worry too much.
>>74219184
GOOD
What about Bestonia and other baltic countries?
>>74219018
God bless.
>>74219206
Nope, no Baldicks this year I belive. Finland has 2 teams though so that sort of makes up for it. Also we have China, as a new country. So that's kinda cool.
>>74219270
Has China fought anyone so far? If yes, how did they do?
MEDICO
>>74219326
ERA PENAL?
>it's been a year already
it feels like yesterday when that one finn practically crippled an argie
>>74219311
Nope, they'll be in the 5v5s tomorrow. I think Turkey and Brazil are also new.
Time for dinner see you hopefully tomorrow
Well looks like I'll be missing most of the 5v5s, but at least I'll get to see the dools.
>Over until tomorrow
n..no ;_;
It's ogre for today. Check >>74218708 for tomorrow's schedule.
>>74219417
That's a shame because 5v5 is literally best
>that spanish guy in naked brigandine
Is this common, are helmets standarized?
Well, the fight is over. Now it's vodka time.
France is really good, this year
(or maybe the others are really bad)
>>74219479
Helmets are mandatory yeah, if that's what you meant.
Well, the fight is over. Now is tracksuit time.
>>74219553
I meant the models. Like Spain not having the middle ridge of a morion anywhere.
How much golds russia already have?
>>74219632
Oh not really. All just have to follow the rules detailing how they're designed etc.
Checked out their website and apparently Sweden doesn't have a team. Guess I'll be rooting for Denmark and Finland instead
>>74219598
No
>tfw no legit medieval-like tournaments with sharp weapons and jousting
>>74219359
Do they wear their own cultural armors?
I hope they will have fun this night with booze and cooked piggos.
>>74218867
Spaniards were having a good time there. Also 4eye cutie.
>>74219820
THE NOSE
>>74218708
>Day 3
>Women's events
Oh boy this takes >WMMA to a whole new level.
>>74219721
>No
Why not?
>>74219746
Sometimes but not always. Also some countries (Argentina, USA, Mexico, Canada, China, Brazil etc.) wouldn't be able to wear such armours for obvious reasons.
>>74219701
Weird how Australia and fucking New Zealand have team(s) but not Sweden.
>>74219884
Even Luxembourg has a team, that's ridiculous
>>74219855
What? She has a nice nose!
>>74219701
They would take Somali fighters, anyway
>>74219884
You'd think something like this would be popular in Sweden. Especially since we host a HEMA event each year.
>>74219882
Because vodka, vodka über alles. All the rest is not so important. I bet you've never drunk vodka at night near the bonfire.
>>74219855
The inquisition was imperfect.
>>74219955
>ywn get brugge'd by the bruggeman
>>74220190
There are Swedish fighters but what I've understood is that there are some legal issues with the sport and swedes can't get insurance for this.
They do attend to IMCF but I guess they think it's safer due to a lack of russians.
>>74219857
Cool
>>74220339
imagine her sweaty asscheeks and wet cunt
>>74220220
I've drank rum, whiskey, and moonshine next to a bonfire. The only vodka I get is cheap plastic bottle vodka.
>>74220437
So sad. Moreover it's dangerous to drink alcohol from a plastic container.
>>74220408
>you will never fug a girl who can easily kill you
>>74220321
>I guess they think it's safer due to a lack of russians.
Probably, i did watch a russian kick a guy who was leaning against the list in the back last year. So if you have to chose between two events i guess it's better to chose the one with less risk of injury and higher chance of winning.
>>74219805
>the concorde used is from british airways
JUSTE
>>74220922
>you will never fug a girl
imagine if someone with money actually spent the time and resources and got some sort of tv contract for this? would be ebin.

>>74220687
The majority of my alcohol comes from plastic bottles
Koskenkorva and Viru Valge
I don't think it's low quality, just budget priced
>>74221969
>I don't think it's low quality
Perhaps, it's not, but plastic gradually being dissolved by alcohol and releases harmful substances.
>>74223016
>Perhaps, it's not, but plastic gradually being dissolved by alcohol and releases harmful substances.
this
>friend brings some good bimber (moonshine)

Is there a round compilations afterwards?
