and of course my site that has my donation link. http://www.robertusaknight.com (it is not to late to donate as I am still making up costs).

There are around 12 of us in Poland right now staying at the Novotel. We went out with the Kiwi Team Commander tonight to a Hungarian Place and then wondered around looking for Drink. The people at the bubble team place knew I was on the Team when I walked in for some tea. There are flyers all over town as well. We got some photos under them. We have also seen the Russian Team CPT in the hotel.

I think there will be live steaming of the event as well.

Nore to follow.

I certainly hope there will dvds of the action, as I live in the sticks and only have dial-up.......

Aaron · Post by **Aaron** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 9:55 am

DVDs would be GREAT!!!!

I'm actually getting more excited about this from a fanboy perspective than I do with the NFL...

Aaron · Post by **Aaron** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 10:28 am

Ah, I'd rather watch this team than have a skybox seat to the Super Bowl. I'm with you on that one.

no fighting yet...

Watching the raw footage, not just the highlight reels, I think the US is gonna kick some ass in the singles. These guys don't have the conditioning the US has and it looks like most of them don't have the skill-set. I'm having as much fun watching this as I did the world cup.

Duke Felix The Just of the Midrealm brought Team USA its first victory. Sadly most of the footage was on another fight at the time

I'm not gonna get a damn bit of work done today.

igelkott · Post by **igelkott** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 8:19 am

Is there some help site with the colors worn by the various nations? The US is pretty obvious but it would be nice to know who some of the others are.

jester · Post by **jester** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 8:21 am

Pommel smash! Pommel smash! Come on, club him to the ground the next time he drops his head and bulls in!

Aaron · Post by **Aaron** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 8:28 am

Somebody's sword hit the dirt throwing up a lot of dust.

We need this on DVD. I said $20 but now I'll say, "Whatever you can get the DVD for Duke Ice Falcon!"

Aaron · Post by **Aaron** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 8:30 am

Is that Nissan that Ice is talking to?

I had the exact same thought!

jester · Post by **jester** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 8:35 am

Is it unchivalrous that my first thought was, step on the cape?

Did USA just get taken to task for hitting too hard? No sound here.

kenrickb · Post by **kenrickb** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 8:43 am

Who was just fighting the guy from Italy? It looked like Lucan owned the guy he fought earlier, but I didn't understand the declaration of the winner there.

It's great to see, but hard to follow. I don't have sound on as I'm watching at work, and I don't know all of our guys by their harness to recognize who is fighting. And I have no clue from what I have seen so far as to who has won which bouts.

Something to say in favor of the SCA "Fall down when defeated" convention

edricus · Post by **edricus** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 8:59 am

Seen some good fights and some bad, most participants seems to be decently skilled, but the cardio in the format and the weather seems to be taking its toll on skill.

kenrickb · Post by **kenrickb** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 9:06 am

It seems like the fights run like a round in boxing. A timed amount with points scored for directed hits. I'd be happy if they just raised the hand of the winner as in boxing.

They are periodically updating folks with who won what on the battle of nations usa facebook site.

Fights according to the rules are 3 90 second bouts, first hand and a half, then sword and shield, then buckler, "good" strikes in the kill zone are scored.

Broadway · Post by **Broadway** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 9:16 am

I don't believe anybody has lost a match yet.

The live music is killing me.

10:23 AM EST: Looks like a broken wrist/severed finger for fat Polish guy.

jester · Post by **jester** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 9:20 am

Somebody needs to do a live feed of some of the tournaments from Pennsic and feed that to the Poles, Ukrainians, and Russians so we can get them to come to us.

Put Sir Vitus on live commentary.
