>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.

>>59050120
Looks like mexico guy and uke guy were just fighting but ended up being battle buddies. Then another mexico guy shows up to help. Mexico 1 says "ay man, pls chill." then Ukraine punches mexico 2 so he's out. Then Mexico 1 and Ukraine continue to be battle buddies.
>>59050079

Ukrainian and mexican having an argument. I can't remember the details, it's from last year.

>>59049612
What do they wear?
Probably some thick wool shirt (like pic related) and some leather and/or chain armor.
How can that stop such massive blows from breaking your ribs? Would imagine it would take some plate armor...
>>59050029
They did it last year. But it was Russia 3 vs Ukraine 1 and it was a match for a third place.

>>59050550
People don't (usually) hit with their absolute full strength. Also in the video it's just the gambeson, don't forget about the actual armour above it.
>>59050611
nope
>>59050459
Australia was weak.
Uk were really good, jus picked really silly tactic against russian team.
Arenas need to be bigger, every duel just ends up on the edge/corner because there is no room to maneuver
>whenever Americans fight the announcer always talks about how large they are
>>59050550
Well, several interviews have shown bloodied and bruised guys, so clearly they do get hurt
Are these duels just point fighting?
Or do they have to pin/knockout opponents?

>>59050387
Canada pretty cool
>>59050752
There were no medieval Americans. What is the point?
>>59050310
ew /pol/
>>59050905
I don't think there is one. Certainly against full armor in medieval combat you'd be using a mace, axe, hammer, or something with a spike.
>>59050970
we just want to join the fun <:(
>>59050905
None. The heavier your weapon is the better.
I think they're mostly just not accustomed to using anything but swords.
>>59050970
Finns didn't wear plate and ringmails either.
>>59050970
so what, their ancestors were all Europeans, they have a right to muh middle ages if they want to same as us.

Sure it will hurt.
Still I have not idea how they do not break their bones on a regular basis (which they pretty sure don't), especially ribs and collarbones...
>>59050970
>There were no medieval Americans. What is the point?
We didn't spring into existince in the 17th century either. Our ancestors were doing the same shit Europeans were... we probably weren't too busy herding reindeer like yours.
>>59051061
>their ancestors were all Europeans
>>59051113
You relied on light cavalry and skirmishers and hit & run tactics, you know, since you're pretty much woods and nothing else. Just read up on your own military traditions
There were also no real Finnish knights. Finns were just reindeer fuckers during the medieval times. I can admit that.
>>59051169
To hold the line of course, with a little support
>>59051027
Uh, yeah they did, up until the 17th century when plate mail started to become obsolete. Finns fought with Swedes until early 19th century.
>>59050855
He's alive and okay, has trouble moving/feeling his arm though
>>59050858
It stings if you're hit by a 2 handed weapons and heavier hits to the head make you feel a bit wobbly. With good armor it's not as bad as it looks though.
>>59050905
Falchions don't break as easily as axes and maces (which by the rules must have wooden handles) but aren't as top heavy. Axe- and mace-heads are cheaper though.
>>59051084
Anything between 20kg and 40kg depending on the size of the guy and if it's mild or tempered steel.
Are stabbing attacks disallowed? I'm not seeing anyone trying to stab or even half-sword, even when it would be very advantageous.
>>59051285
they are
>>59051254
these helmets look asian
>>59051204
lmao shit proofs nigger
>>59051254
No they did not. Don't fucking lie. Finnish people were consireded as subhumans during the Swedish period. We had fucking maces and self made weapons. Plate armor is just no.
>>59051247
And now they're Spinal cords destroyers.

Exactly man. Hakkapeliitta was not even close to medieval times and it were the first time Swedes took Finnish to their army as real respected soldiers.

No it was the Swedes who herded reindeer.
>>59051324
Maybe during peasant uprisings, but Finnish soldiers were equipped pretty much the same as Swedish ones when fighting actual wars.
Here's how a finnish warrior would look like in the 10th century.
>>59051511
"Rurik was a Finn" What the fuck are you talking about? He was not and don't mix the history of Russia in this.

Damn you are just fucking stupid. Russians really liberated Finland, that is a fact. Have you heard of porvoon valtiopäivät? What about the Kingdom of Finland? Walhalla-seura? The FIRST literal source what suggests the independency of Finland was the manifest of ELISABET, the empress of RUSSIA. Since that manifest some of the Finnish people secretly backed Russia after the hats war. Russia prepared Finland for independency. When Finland was part of Sweden we were called as "East-Sweden", Finnish people were considered eastern Swedish subhumans. Until the mid 1850s Sweden was considered to be a "sophisticated" language and Finnish was considered to be a subhuman language.
>>59052600
everything /pol/ does is always just a less funny cringey version of /int/, it's not surprising.
>>59052728
Swedish was considered a subhuman language too, their elites spoke other languages.
>>59052728
I was acutally implying you both were absolute cancer but nice b8 attempt.
HERE WE GO, 3v3s
>>59052855
In the 1800s in Finland Sweden was considered as the cultural language and Finland was the language of the filthy peasants.

>>59052882
I personally think Russia was better to Finnish people than Sweden. After the treaty of hamina almost only Swedes were allowed to be high level authorieties in the area of "East-Sweden". When Russia took Finland they immediately wanted to get rid off Swedish authorities and replace them with Finns. They also tried to change the "official" language to Finnish from Swedish but failed.
