War of Ages (Ansteorra)

Post by RoaK »

War of Ages just east of Austin Texas, I'm going to be there, anybody else from the archive going?

The scenarios look interesting and I’ll be fighting in one of the mercenary groups that’s the plan anyways based on the scenarios posted on their sight.

This qualifies as a "dammit, dammit, dammit" item for me. I'm working a friend's wedding this weekend, or WoA would be my debutante ball/quinceanera, showing off my loverly new samurai armor. :D
If you were a poor Indian with no weapons, and a bunch of conquistadors came up to you and asked where the gold was, I don't think it would be a good idea to say, "I swallowed it. So sue me."

I'm going. I'll be commanding the red army. We'll have cookies and booze. There will be bacon girls. We should take lots of pictures to make Spearweasel feel worse about missing this.

Roak- I got your note about the red side's list. The traffic on it has been very low, so you haven't missed much. Hell's Gate and Bryn Gwlad will be on my side, and Wayland has assembled a merc group called Chaos which you'd probably fit in well with what with Clovenshield's symbol and all. Rhoadd is the other merc group.

Humm beer and bacon "girls"... Hey, fuck it, if the pickings’ aren't any good over at Chaos I'm coming over to you.

Now, you guys all see that... that's the advantage of being a real merc :twisted: :lol:

See you guys there...

Fun event, great to meet you in person, RoaK, even if Confed and Clovenshield wound up fighting for different mercenary armies :)

Well I had a blast... the hip didn't bother me despite the crazy terrain we fought on.

I need to get my cardio back up to par though... Sheeez

I enjoyed using the pole axe all day... it was fun beating down shield walls :twisted:

Roak- there are a ton of pictures on Facebook. Are you on there? PM me and I'll tag a few of you. Looked like the new hip was working great!
Are you coming to Bryn Gwlad this weekend?
