>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.

Schedule
Times are in GMT+2, they're in Prague
alright alright
fuck you for making me need to see whatever this shit is going to be.
Is it fighting with weapons?
It had better be good.
Russia will destroy everyone once and for all
r n t people gonna dead?
>>67458682
Fighting with weapons and armor. The goal is to get the other Knights to the ground, using take downs, clinch fighting, and strikes. Some dude got paralyzed the other day and some dude got his leg fucked up.
>>67458682
its fun as shit, but you've honestly missed a lot of the fun now
5v5 is bloody amazing
i'm psyched for the polearm duels. is based mikey gonna be in it this year?
Is this like Hostel and Hostel 2, which was better, are you going to be attacking caged college aged tourists?
Where do you find the victims, I mean, athletes? Drugged and kidnapped tourists?
>>67458699
5v5 finals today lad. Polearm 1v1 up first will be amazing.
>>67458699
HOLY FUCK ITS LIKE HOCKEY ON SAND
We got an American in the polearm finals too.
>>67458718
Just dumping a bit
>>67458721
R
I hope someone gets heemed
It's just really expensive larping
>>67458721
That actually describes this quite well
>>67458727

>All this flag pride

>>67458651
>all these slow unathletic fucks
>>67458805
>says the faggot who unironically tripfags on a vietnamese rug discussion website
>>67458794
the triple cord setup is bad. last year it was done better with a small list-enclosure with just a cord in the middle.
>>67458794
i think this one has been pretty decent
Russia too stronk
>the village of USA
WELL DONE USA
nice """""finals""""""
>>67458819
It does seem like an awkward setup
>>67458834
It's your Country shitting it up
aw this guy
>friendship and camaraderie
Russia should have just taken the final
>>67458859
Well the USA guy beat the Russian yesterday, which secured him at least 2nd.
damn interviewer is on point, talks in russian blows away the translator
>>67458865
Yeah but we didn't even get a proper final
is this over?
Is there an American team for this?
>>67458869
Was thinking the same thing. Why have a translator if the interviewer is clearly better?
Who are the 5 man clang finalists?
>>67458877
No just started. Only been 1 fight so far.
>>67458877
Just started. You only missed polearm. 5v5 final is up next
>>67458880
Medieval politeness rules
>>67458879
We have a 21v21 team fighting later. Both our 5v5 teams were already eliminated.
>>67458893
Sheeiit, well that sucks. 21v21 sounds fun at least.
>>67458881
I can't remember but it's probably just Russia
>>67458879
You weren't actually bad
>>67458887
cheers
This 5th day pace is killing me
>>67458903
>>67458910
I don't think a cancelled final helped with times desu
is it just me or is the framerate bad on the youtube stream?
Is english taught in eastern european countries in schools? or french, spanish or german?
>ask for a rematch
Could lead to some spice today
>>67458932
now you mention it yeah but it's watchable
>>67458955
It's fine for me now
The Principal Moment, guys
5v5 in 10 bings?
>>67458979
Sounds like it. Finals have the same best of 3, or best of 5 maybe?
GET HYPE LADS
5V5 BEST THING TODAY
HAPPENING
>>67458988
Hope it's the latter desu
I want to see as much 5v5 today as possible
GET HYPE NIGGAS

Winner gets Donetsk.
ITS TIME
Holy shit it's a Ukraine/Russia final? This should be amazing
>>67459032
why.
>>67459043
3 Russia vs Ukraine finals.
Russia 1,2,3 and Ukraine 1,2,3
Will probably end up Russia vs Russia grand final
>>67459052
Hahahaha, should be some good fights then
It probably will be Russa/Russia
Both teams have been great in this tournament
DEHELMED
shouldn't be allowed to hold the fence
>>67459078
They need to make the arena larger.
In previous years it was quite a bit bigger.
best BoN thread
first death
SPICY
WHAT A FIGHT
DEAD FIGHTER
Oh shit. That guy just collapsed when the Russian let go.
>the medics aren't in costume
What actually happened?
heem sleepy
the V-Day russian lust for blood shows itself
>>67459097
what kind of rag tag game of nations is this?
>>67459093
based Aus you missed some good stuff yesterday
Holy shit that Russian beatdown
Another dead.
how does this work, how do they beat each other each round? Is there rules?
>It's a Russia bullies The Ukraine episode
My stream cut out right when they called for the medics.
I thought they killed him...
why medics now?
UK? Is this for 3rd place? I though we were knocked out?
>>67459112
Have to knock the fighter to the ground
>>67459112
If you touch the ground with a third point of support you are out.
No thrusting attacks with weapons.
No strikes to the back of the knee.
That's basically it.
>>67459107
Yeah sorry, mother's day duties
>>67459122
>>67459123
thanks lads
holy shit that Ukraine revenge
Ukraine Strong
that was some top aggression there
Big Hit!
How did the two guys get dedded in the previous fight? Got WebM?
UKRAINE CLEAN SWEEP 5-0
Game 1
>all these white people and white kids
Truly a fantastic sight
tfw net dies right as the 2nd round starts
Who's the bully now?
Ukrainian TDD stronk
they look fucking exhausted
>>67459124
some lad almost got his eye poked out
HOLY SHIT THIS FIGHT
RUSSIA STRONK
Pure grind right there
>>67459167
yeah man imagine carrying that suit + weapons, having to balance it all on sand and essentially keep every muscle tense during lock ups to avoid a takedown. People actually train for this it looks hard as fuck.
GUERRILLA WARFARE
BASED UKRAINE
Typical Russian scum bag throwing a kick after the fight has been called.
UKRAINE 2-1
SHUT
IT
DOWN
>it's a "let's hug each other in plate armor" episode
5 Hours later
>Russia 26 vs Ukraine 26
Beautiful stuff by Ukraine
get rid of lists and just fight in a sunken arena REEEEEEEE
>>67459208
Think it's intentional desu
Fights would be over pretty quick without lists
I don't mind the clinch too much myself

>>67459216
i dont mind clinching just list-hugging triggers me
also RUSSIA 3 is REAL MEN, fielding 2 2-handers on one squad
can you just drop your weapons and straight up grapple?
Jesus did anyone else just see that fat bearded unarmoured guy in the hat nearly cop a hatchet to the chest as he threw his arm over the border to hold. Fuck me.
>>67459222
Checked.
Why aren't the medics just standing by? What are they like outside smoking or some shit?
Holy shit all this ded today
these guys aren't playying around
>>67459243
When they aren't needed they are busy doing x-rays and setting casts in the medical tent.
>this sick cunt with a double hand axe
Big swinging dick baby
jesus did you see how the axe went through the ukrainian's faceplate
Ukranian heart
;_;
>>67459253
his axe just went thru a guy's faceguard
>>67459249
Oh, wow. Thanks, anon.

Come on lads
>>67459287
Thanks top lad
>>67459283
looks exactly what I imagine all medieval Eastern European women looked like
>>67459305
They don't want to tire out their own countrymen, weakening them for the fight against Russia
Aus have a WebM of Russia denting the Ukranian's head armour with every axe blow?
Glad they had that lull in the action
>>67459325
This one? >>67459250
i there just russian and ukrainian teams? or will we see other nations aswell?
>>67459342
All other nations got eliminated.
Holy shit that beautiful takedown
>>67459342
It's the finals today and since Ukraine and Russia BTFO everyone else, they're the only ones you're seeing in 5v5 jej
Everyone else has come and fallen
>>67459342
There were. Russia 1,2,3 and Ukraine 1,2,3 were the only ones to make it to the finals.
21v21 later will have other countries.
>>67459342
Other Nations got rekt yesterday, only slavs today. At least for the male category, don't know how it is in the female category. They're having female 1vs1 later.
>>67459338
yeah thanks lad
this speedy russian manlet
>>67459358
>There's a female category
My body is ready
>>67459352
21v21 sounds fun
>>67459361
That tackle was sweet.
That based Russian run
Glad there#s a break. need to get some snacks
>>67459365
it's boring desu. and you can't even see any ankle
What an action packed round
>>67459366
It's actually not as good as it sounds on paper
5v5 is better, 21v21 is just too chaotic in the relatively small list
>>67459371
absolutely haram
>they are really cool fighters
>>67459376
21 v 21 cuz you see scrums and then like 5 guys with massive polearms just beating the shit of people from the back

top fag
Which WebM's are the ones that caused the injuries? How did they get injured? I don't see anything too bad
Anyone know?
from the pol thread
>>67459403
Didn't see any clear indications of what caused injuries
>>67459402
sorry senpai
leelee sobieski is a different matter though, she a qt.
>>67459379
>>67459375
>>67459389
these are the top qts, plus the argentinian from past years, but she's pregnant now and doesnt compete
Good day of fights so far
Feels shitty this is the finals, want more desu
>>67459403
This is the one that put an Argie in the hospital >>67458751
>>67459403
In this one a Finnish guy hits an Argentinian in the spine with an axe. From what I heard the guy just has to wear a neck brace for a while though.
Apparently the argie's armor had some kind of tiny opening in the back that the finn hit by sheer chance.
I want a larping gf
>>67459387
The Rus vs All ones were funny. Just maulings.
>>67459407
>there will never be a scooter jousting event for us to totally dominate
>>67459443
speaking of jousting there was a show on History channel before it went full Pawn stars and Storage wars about Jousting and how dudes trained and competed in events it was pretty cool
so what's the point of using falchions when you could use a mace or axe here?
also the forearm fatigue from griping the weapons must be insane
>>67459443
start one, the amount of money you'd be able to swiddle fat cunts confined to scooters for would be astronomical. You could hold it in a Walmart parking lot and sell hotdogs on the side. Not a big jump from pic related anyway
>>67459451
it's my state's official sport for some reason
>Russian just kicking out at everyone

>>67459525
Romero is an absolute madman.
the way the ukies pass off them opponents so seamlessly to one another is awesome to watch
>>67459525
there's a book by Mark Twain called A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court where an American organizes medieval bicycle cavalry.

did they really kick that guy out because his towelhead ripped? thats such bullshit
>>67459756
It is
WTF IS THIS
RUSSIA CLEARLY DOPING AS PER
>>67459756
I think they just made the trainer fix it
>>67459761
didn't let him come back in afterwards he had to sit down
UK-raine deserved the win, they fought real hard
They were so damn gassed,had a fighter literally sit on the list out of tiredness and 10 minutes later have to fight these Russians
;_;7
>>67459765
wow that's bullcrap
why are the crowd dressed like that are they paid to be there?
Ukraine are the people's champions
>>67459756
wasnt cuz of that something fell off, cuz the trainer was fixing something on his right arm
>i don't understand anyting
>>67459773
People love going there and dressing up
>>67459775
Well that's better
Classy interview
>>67459773
A lot of them are historical re-enactors.
One Armoured Knight vs Two Unarmoured Peasants
Who wins?
>>67459773
There's a big medieval festival to go along with the tournament.
Non-Gassed level Ukraine would have smashed Russia tbqhwyf
They really should have held other finals before the grand final

>>67459971
Held out as long as you could
How can Britain even compete?
>>67459977
if you mean cheating then yes. another brit kept holding onto the polearm of a polack so he couldn't get hit by it which is also cheating
>>67459986
>That Pol absolutely decimating the UK fighter
>>67459946
even british team have some poles in them
Belorusians are ANIMALS
>>67459998
Holding the pole is allowed, holding the blade isn't.

>>67460638
Who doesn't? Too bad 3000 euro's is a lot of money.
>>67460600
I can see him rocked but what happens after that? Does he fall or stay up?
>>67460631
Green guy seems to reach for a backup mace
>>67460660
He's at the very top of the second shot, cautiously moving in, lumbers forward and ends up being the one tripped in the last shot
>>67460669

ON THE LEEST
Sheem bleedy
JUST BLEED
Was it just a blow that struck hard and crushed her nose? Or did she get swiped?
THIS FUCKING THREAD.
Damn this looks fun.
Probably close as fuck to how the knight fought back then.
>>67460770
It really is, most knight battles involved grappling and throwing the opponent to the ground, where he was then finished with a dagger/piercing weapon between the joints.
>>67460784
Yup. None of that Hollwyood bullshit where everyone gets chopped to pieces by on sword slash.
It was a lot of battering and bludgeoning before the killing happened. Plus KNight armor were actually agile.
Post more OP.
>>67460797
We're live at the moment lad
>>67460784
Nuh uh.
I study medieval history at university and also practice classical fencing. Knights never resorted to such barbaric tactics.
They fought only standing up, separated by a respectable distance, and would skilfully weave their blade through their opponents armour.
>>67460829
Oh yes, of course.
The professional fighters were able to even feel the killing intent of their opponents, and many peasant fighters quit the fights because they could not handle the KI of their stronger opponents.
Who is the cutest female fighter?
>>67460876
The russian girl with the broken nose
Think Russian has taken two rounds
this is some seriously autistic shit
>>67460890
You missed all the real fighting.
This shit is just point based sparring.
I can't believe it's real.
Russian with a clean sweep imo
>wow this is pretty sweet
>wonder whats medieval Indonesian armor looked like
>pic related
JUST
>>67460890
it is some goofy shit. But its 9am here and there isnt anything else to watch.
dat russian lady knight was a qt3.14 tho
I swear it's so hard tell when a blow actually lands or whether it's blocked/missed
>>67460982
jej
'no'
>Absolute dead thread for 1v1
It's not that bad lads....
>>67461352
I'm looking if there is ever a possibility for me to join an event like this.
>>67461394
I would think so, no idea how you'd go about it though
>>67461413
Find a Historical Medieval Battle (HMB) club -> buy some gear -> hope there is few enough people wanting to join your national team that they'll let you in, even though you suck
>>67461542
It seems like most of the people in this have been doing this for their entire lives.
>>67461592
The good ones probably have.
>>67461592
A few of them look like they have LARPer tattooed somewhere.
Is there anyone using a bastard sword?
>>67461638
You don't get to choose your weapon in these categories.
Any chance WebM lad has the sword break?
>>67461651
Bullshit.
>>67461851
You do one round with a longsword, one round with a sword and buckler, and one round with sword and shield.
Next year is our year la
WE WON SOMETHINGS LADS
>>67458651
Mega in OP has been updated
It's been a good one /sp/.
Thanks Ausbro for your service, hopefully you lads are around next year too
Who won?

Mostly Russia.

is it over? I feel asleep after the 21v21
>>67462466
Yup. The 1v1 wasn't very eventful so if you fell asleep after all the 21v21 you actually didn't miss much at all
A German grill got her nose smashed, I think that's about it

I'm sure the Brits would win if they added a longbow competition and maybe the French would win in jousting.

Really, all you guys need is more people into the sport. More competition means stronger competitors.
Still, I'd love to see this event get big enough that it actually did include jousting and longbow archery. Would be pretty sweet.
