Meanwhile in Japan "A historic battle between fully armored

Post by Thorsteinn Raudskeggr »

Res ipsa loquitur.

A historic battle between fully armored knights and samurai". A BOTN-style Youtube video.

BTW This was the article that let me know that the hell was going on in the ACL world and why they seemed to be pulling away from HMB. I did not know about some of the accusations against HMB/BOTN.

Inside The Violent, Geeky World Of Hardcore International Medieval Combat

I didn't know things were that bad.

We were pretty happy with how STEEL! came out. Good fun, exciting, good crowd, and great publicity. Our next challenge is more fighters and trying to get the Samurai up to speed.

Looks like y'all were having fun, and that's what I took away from this the most. :)

In the first video, the one guy look like a Sumo in armor. He was definitely a BIG boy. ;)
