Re: Will the BoTN change the SCA:s HF game?

You are very correct notice about the music, weak historicism and small inaccuracies. However, there is to do a large discount to the fact that all this is just the beginning. Each year, turns out to bring to this event more and more people, money and media attention. If all of this will be more, th...

Re: Will the BoTN change the SCA:s HF game?

I think when you say anger do you mean Passion, Fire, Daring, Drive, Battlejoy, the Mad Exultation of Battle, or Rush? The motivation you describe is similar to what makes some climb cliff's without ropes yes? Yes you can say that. So even better. Вы меня правильно поняли. Наверное я не самое удачн...

Re: Will the BoTN change the SCA:s HF game?

Being half Czech, I understand the resentment towards Russians. For as long as I can recall, the whole Czech side of my family spoke badly about Russia. Plus being an American raised during the cold war, well... I don't need to say much else. Fortunately, I have come to accept things for what they ...

Re: Will the BoTN change the SCA:s HF game?

Here is a 38 minute fight Sir Angus and I did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A60CrsldggE Hmm. Looks a little bit harder than our wood and weighter. However, one can see the difference with the metal. Fight a soft, slow and relaxed. It is seen that people come to have fun. Then as we go to fight fo...

Re: Will the BoTN change the SCA:s HF game?

Нас Русских вообще часто заносит когда дело касается любимого спорта. Пришла новая хреновая власть - ерунда, очередной террористический акт - бывает, инопланетяне атакуют - кого этим удивишь. Но стоит сборной по футболу проиграть очередной матч и Россия превращается в зону боевых действий (горящие о...

Xager -- you may want to moderate your tone regarding the hobbies of people whose forum you are posting on, even if you think your ways are superior. It's just polite. Sorry, did not want to offend anybody. Difficulties of translation. And I was very passionate about steel fighting. Until this year...

Re: Will the BoTN change the SCA:s HF game?

Ha! But we are cranks with wooden swords. If HMB had existed when I was a kid I would have jumped at it. Of course I am an old man and I jumped at it. Hey Xager, For reference, how old are you? I just want to know if I have armour older than you. :) I doubt it. I am 28 years old. I once fought with...

Re: Will the BoTN change the SCA:s HF game?

That is more clear. Sorry. I think we have a quote someplace on there that thew Russians oldest guy was 28 and he is retiring!!! I have not heard about this. If people and go over time, it is not because of age. We have people older than 30. For example Zimin Andrey Leonidovich (build year - 1977)....

105 is still great! Your English really isn't bad. I've heard worse from my in-laws who grew up near the Okefenokee Swamp in Florida. Their Redneck accent is so bad that it's barely English. With thanks, -Aaron :D I will give thanks to Google Translate. Only because of him my text can be understood...

Also, there is an interview with fighters and a few funny videos. The owner of channel Yuri Spiridonov. He does a ve...

Re: Will the BoTN change the SCA:s HF game?

The guys who were really good at the BotN format , specifically the Russians, Poles, amd Ukrainians fought like hornets from a kicked nest. They buzzed around and stung you from the sides and back, always moving fast. Thats what they were way better at than us. Speed kills. Strikes with a run in th...

Re: Public Service Announcement for BOTN 2013 armour buyers

that and i heard alot of Europeans are gonna be ordering from American armorers as well due to the impression they left during BoN with quality of armor
I doubt it. We have enough of their crafters.

As for the quality of armor: many really liked the armor of U.S. team. They cool.

Re: Will the BoTN change the SCA:s HF game?

I did have a hell of a hangover one day though. Beheading seemed like a good idea at that point. :) It is familiar to me. I am interested in the best video of the fighting and willing to pay a reasonable price to do so. On official site i seen offer to buy some videos - http://www.battleofthenation...

Re: Will the BoTN change the SCA:s HF game?

Hi. I am the one who wrote a funny article on Rob's article. I hope you realize that it was a harmless joke. Rob Just so dramatically described by all that I could not resist. I do not know where Rob saw all these bloody horrors of severed fingers and half-dead people. Everyone who was at the Battle...
