Ruthardus, have you nailed down dates for this yet? I'll take time off from work if I need to -- unless you're shooting for weekend classes.

Wait, there are other Kingdoms besides Calontir?! Who started this trend?!

Lucian Ro

I was just looking up their site to order a bit more lamellar to add to my rig and, poof, they're gone. Anyone have a lead on them?
www.eldesar.com is what I had them bookmarked under. =(

Lucian Ro

Has anyone ever ordered it?
How was it upon arrival?
How well did it hold up for you?
Share tales.

Bravo, thanks Ernst!

Necro post. Anyone familiar with the pic Adam is talking about?

Lucian Ro

We've already talked, you know I'll be there.

Frank, size 10 Viking boots in a dark brown! Who do I need to throttle to get these?

Lucian Ro

Damn nice.

Lucian Ro

Gwen has been one of the most helpful people I've ever encountered in my reenactment "career". Big thumbs up.

Lucian Ro

I'm content to just accept that our game involves some element of risk, and there's no way to make it 100% safe. These don't bother me. Oh, god forbid we adopt that sentiment, Josh, god forbid. Then we'd have to take responsibility for our actions and our own safety in a game that involves us swing...

Lucian Ro

I've seen some of the viking-reenactor-folk wear what equates to a beanie or a watchcap. Where can I get one? Who makes them? What's the story and timeframe behind them?
Point me in the right directions, o' Hivemind.

Lucian Ro

Frank, these are great!

Lucian Ro

I've dealt with Ice a multitude of times over the last decade and I have a hard time seeing him charge this fee without there being something more we don't know about going on behind the scenes or either that it results from an honest to goodness mistake in communication. He's always been 110% upfro...

Lucian Ro

Very cool idea and execution, Greg.

Lucian Ro

Remy Lebeau, can you hold these for me, pending measurements?

Lucian Ro

I'd love to see pics of this.

Lucian Ro

PM'd you.

Oops, sorry, haven't been around the Archive much lately! Consider this a BUMP then.

Here's the series first episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifVBhKmBCt8

Here's my personal favorite video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxbEC68k5QU
I watch this one near-daily, as there's so much to absorb, fighting-wise.

Lucian Ro

Should be able to just type in "Battle of the Nations" on YouTube. There is a four-part series. I'll dig it up for you.

Lucian Ro

Poke poke.

Lucian Ro

Just checking in, Jamie.

Anyone near St Louis interested in an impromptu gathering with some BOTN-styled fighting? I'd rather we got fully-armoured and fought but I'd be willing to even work on grappling fully kitted out. Even rattan with BOTN-rules fighting would work in a pinch but, obviously, I'd prefer steel. With that ...

Lucian Ro

No help here, but thank you for your service, my friend.

Sean, come play. I'm in St Louis and need someone to train with!

Lucian Ro

I agree, Stonekeep is top notch. Bought mu arms AND legs from him and if I go spring stainless next, he's my go-to armourer.

Why the hell isn't it bigger? You have enough pretties Lucian. No soup for you, 1 year.

p.s. Yes, we have met before in Trimaris.

Lol, fair enough! I'll just dig for pretties elsewhere.

Lucian Ro

Why the hell isn't it smaller? Damn you, Erik.

Oh yes, the US team is well represented.

Edit - Natalia does that mean it's been decided it's early May and NOT April or is that still just a tentative guess by the BOTN powers?

Lucian Ro

Mack, I might be able to throw a ton of business your way. The Battle of the Nations team needs shields. What are you making them out of?

Lucian Ro

Is that because of the kits or the people wearing them? The Russians and Ukranians basically invented this game, so it follows they would be pretty good at it. Cheers, I think it's safe to say it's a combination of both. Even if I'm equal with the guy across from me on the field skill-wise, add 20 ...
