>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.

If you tune in currently and it looks a bit shit, please understand it's women fights and the mens are much more action packed and heavy hitting.
They'll be on for a while
>>67433574
oh shit man do you know when the women fights end? the website is not loading for me for some reason
This is already going down? Are the women really that boring?
>>67433602
It's on right now.
The women seem to do a bit more striking rather than clinching, but they gas quicker
any qtknights?
>>67433574
Is that the guy who got his leg broken?
Post more BoN gore pls. Need something to watch while these women hug it out.
Burgerbro yesterday
>>67433602
You've missed three days
They're not actually bad but you can tell the difference
>>67433589
Here's todays schedule. It's Day 4. They're in Prague in Czech so it's whatever timezone is used their. Women will be on for another 3 bongs or so.
After that it's Mens 1 v 1 duels and we're back to 5v5 in around 5 bongs and 20 bings if I'm not mistaken
>>67433665
>>67433763
First Women battle wasn't very good but they've been decent since
>>67433771
It's like agincourt all over again
>>67433771
>>67433793
I've saved so many I don't even know what these files are anymore I'm just posting the ones that sound a bit brutal
Mine are all in the OP though, others might have some more.
>>67433793
Holy fuck he got cracked by an armoured fist!
is there a dutch team
>>67433806
>>67433835
noice takedown just now
This shit is stupid and not a sport.
It's one of those games you play where you have to hold back or you kill someone. So it's just whoever decides to cheap shot or be psychopathic.
You can't actually do a real everyone trying Battle of Nations without killing someone. So it's just patty cake with some people upping the ante occasionally.
absolutely stupid.
You can see them not swinging their weapons, or aiming for safe spots that don't kill people. It's pointless shit for manchildren. LARPing is more competitive.
>>67433883
Harry Hoofters say the same thing about rugby
>>67433894
>>67433894
the whole point of sport is being able to try your hardest to win
This is so shit because you have to arbitrarily decide how hard you try.
Competition is about creating rules or a scenario that you can both play on even ground.
This is not a sport because you are essentially holding back and whoever wins is the one who decides to be push that envelope.
If both teams actually tried to win at this game, people would die. .
>>67433923
The armour has ton of padding under the metal, you can hit as hard as you like. The weapons are blunt. You can't stab. You do realise most medieval knights didn't die? They where taken hostage. If you don't think they are trying, keep watching till the mens rounds and you will see plenty of massive, armour denting hits
>>67433955
wont stop brain damage
blunt doesn't mean shit and can be more effective. A good swing to the head would literally kill you
>>67433972
You do realise armour is designed to stop that from happening?
>>67433997
I just see obvious chances to blindside these guys in the head with huge blows and no one takes them.
>>67433875
>>67434002
Epic charge there.
>>67434002
>>67434001
Wait until you see the russians then
Anyway, it's hard to see and you get tired quick
>>67434019
>>67434051
>>67433972
under the metal, they are basically covered in pillows. They are hitting hard. Keep watching for the mens and the medics are on the field all the time
>>67434060
jesus that was a good whack
>>67434060
Whats the worst injury thats happened from these fights?
Anyone died?
The most honest guys lose. Cool sport.
>>67434143
A few decapitations. They kicked the head around like a soccer ball for a bit afterwards, too.
>>67434143
concussions are all that i've seen
>>67434147
The true gentleman's sport.
If there were one on one fights with boxing like rules where you can win buy KO or points for good hits I might watch it.
they need to get rid of the lists and just have the fights in a smooth walled pit with nothing to grab onto.
>>67434162
they actually do have that
>>67434155
It seems inevitable that someone swings a wild one and the unlucky individual will move their head right into the hit with an exposed angle.
Some of these helmets have quite an open face.
>>67434176
Oh cool, will check it out.
>>67434182
yeah i noticed that some of the helmets just have a horizontal bars for the faceguard. all it would take is a nice horizontal swipe with a falchion or cleaver to do some serious damage.
>>67434147
All's fair in love and war.
fucking hot today lads, wouldn't want to be out in armour
israeli chick fighting for poland is based
someone just got hurt on the french team it seems
ded
>>67434227
certain Israelis where protesting outside the Polish embassy in New York yesterday demanding reparations because many concentration camps where situated in Poland. Very ignorant, really
kek French pussies
>>67434245
seems like they were protesting the polish government's attempt to downplay poland's role in the holocaust. it's not an uncommon theme in survivor stories from poland that prior to the death camps they were more afraid of poles than the nazis. hell there was a matzah blood libel pogrom almost immediately after the holocaust in poland.
in any event the protests were not because of the camps being located in poland. did you actually think that?
>>67434271
Polish co-operation with the death camps is what i read. Before that i thought Poland and Israel had a positive relationship because of the amount of Jews they hid
is anyone making webms of the qts figthing and their interviews?
>>67434294
I sure hope so
I tuned in to see people fighting with weapons and instead I get fat cosplayers wrestling - or at least attempting to wrestle - each other to the ground. And this is somehow an """event,""" complete with commentators and all?
This is fucking embarrassing. And I say that as a 26 year old man that runs a D&D campaign which meets every Saturday.
>>67434335
it's women fighting.
this is men fighting >>67433793
>>67434335
just wait for the russian MEN to fite m8
>>67434287
i think overall the relations are fine. i wouldn't read too much into the recent "incident."
as far as cooperation or collaboration goes, it seems like it wasn't uncommon, but not as bad as in, say, ukraine. the prevailing view of the Jedwabne pogrom for example is that it was carried out by Poles under German auspices.
i actually know two jews who survived the holocaust in poland. one guy was hidden by some peasants out in the countryside. the other wound up in fighting for the polish home army. after the war he was attacked at a communal bath for being circumcised kek. moved to america after that.
Spoiler warning: we always win
>>67434371
unless the russian zerg rush
>>67434271
>>67434371
Polish role in the Holocaust was minimal. Polish role in saving Jews was by far the biggest in Europe (as evidence by statistics kept by Israel itself).
The Polish underground state literally executed people who had ratted out Jews.
Any attempt to emphasize only the incidents where Poles killed Jews or caused their deaths is political revisionism. If it's shown out of context then it makes us look like Hitler's accomplices, which is just false and insulting.
Not to mention the reason why most of Holocaust took place in Europe: Jews saw Poland as the best place to live in Europe for centuries.
Yes I'm butthurt
can someone (You) me when men are figthing
>>67434425
>be on both /pol/s and /int/ threads
>/pol/ is bantering and posting wifus
>/int/ is discussing the holocaust
>>67434470
what is spee doing?
>>67434470
>>>/int/59030434
y u lying
Is it worth checking out the /pol/ threads?
>>67434479
oh shit I am on /sp/ actually
>>67434470
>>67434496
pay depts
>>67434492
/pol/ has more people, so if you want people to banter with come on over.
>>>/pol/73371480
would be nice if they had parabolic mics aimed at the fighters, coz the lack of sound makes the impact of the punches and shit seem weak. the fucking retarded music makes it worse.
besides that, the emphasis on sword + board and the tiny fighting area makes it a clusterfuck.
>>67434335
it's women under 70 pounds of armor and padding trying to fight. looks like it'll be less shit when the men fight, but still pretty shit because the people broadcasting it are idiots.
>>67434508
ta senpai, might as well
You could see how fantastic that Polish girls arse was a minute ago, even with all the armour.
Not enough neckbeards with twin katanas tßh.
>>67434554
An American tried dual wielding yesterday and got rekt
Tell me someone got a shot of that israeli girl half out of her armour
>>67434592
Just like our videogames!
>>67433763
I remember they said they took him to the hospital. Any further news?
OH SHIT THIS IS THE BEST EVENT OF EVERY YEAR.
Has any one went full Hollywood and done a spin-and-whack?
>>67434682
A finnish girl tried it earlier.
fuck this is the best shit.
>glove and spade are a unique piece
Could still be a good thread but I ain't watching this for any longer
best regardz
these guys must be sweating their balls off with this weather
PURPLE DUDE IS GOAT
>>67434777
They're not guys, and it's not even hot
>>67434785
>>67434777
chicks
and it's 24 C
>>67434790
>it's not even hot
looks pretty hot to me lad
and that's without the armour
>>67434809
PURPLE FAT CHICK IS GOAT
>>67434809
Google says 18C.
Still better than here today btw, such a shit weekend
>>67434817
>24
>hot
40 is hot
24 is nice
>this is unironically broadcasting one ukrainian chick fighting a russian chick in medieval armor in the current year and no one has mentioned their nationalities yet
>>67434846
40 is unbearable
30 is hot
20 is ideal
15 is ok
anything below 10 sucks
>>67434846
24 is nice in the shade, too hot in the sun
40 is infernal, went to Dubai once and it was like that every day for a week
never going back to that shithole
Still waiting on men's 1v1s or did I miss that?
>>67434578
dual wielding is the dumbest shit
>>67434868
fucking slav women i swar to christ
>>67434885
salam alaikum
>>67434846
how about 24 in armor and doing all the shit they are doing under the sun
MOLDOVA VS GERMANY IN QT FIGHTS NEXT
I want to try this out myself. People seem to get gassed way too quickly and literally just grab the railing and stand there while getting pummeled
>>67434912
emre pls
>>67434928
someone said armor is like 30kg - 66 pounds
and weapons are like 1-2 kg - 2-4 pounds
but the armor and all the crap costs like 3k
>>67433741
kek
that what happens when instead of castles youve got fast food chains
THIS WALL AND STALL
>>67434885
33 is unbearable
27 is hot
19 is ideal
15 is ok
anything below 8 sucks except for when it means snow in the approriate time of year.
>>67434905
It's on in a bit, this is running overtime
>>67434428
Men 1v1 on soon
>noone making webms of qts fighting
>>67434950
I would think they'd condition themselves to take account for the weight. Seems like whomever gets gassed first loses a lot of the time. My gym has strap-on weights and vests from 5 to 100 pounds for conditioning.
>>67433875
>not posting the team names in the webm descriptions
>>67434956
that's crazy bro unbearable is 45-50
33 is a nice day
Check this slav mercenaries: http://botn.info/national-team/en-national-team-of-israel
>>67434988
Yeah I know
>>67434990
Agree. 33 is going-to-the-park-day
>>67435036
>unironically going outside
wew
>>67435040
You don't like to see groups of qts in shorts in central areas of the city while you eat a McDonalds ice cream?
>>67434987
for women it'd take an extreme conditioning program to wear armor that's half or more of their body weight and still fight decently for more than a few minutes. it's kinda pitiful.
>>67435064
I can just look at half time slags from the comfort of my home
>>67435082
You can't smell them
>>67434956
This man is right.
Also will there be a mega with all the webms eventually?
>>67435104
If the Aus who's made them is around try askin him, if not then I don't think so unless someone's saved them all or goes back and saves them all
>ywn help the German qt get some air
Russia 2 stronk
Nazis win!
WHAT
REFSWORD
