I liked Battle of the Nations-2014 held in Croatia. But we lacked teams that failed to attend the event in Trogir as they had gone to another tournament. I hope that in the future, this problem will disappear (and we will remember it as an unfortunate misunderstanding), and we will participate in the World Championship […]

Norðri, Switzerland: “I hope we’ll meet interesting novices at “Battle of the Nations”-2015 again”

Makarian, Ukraine: “During the tournament the marshal has to forget about his /her “citizenship”
In principle, anyone can become an HBM marshal. However, a real HMB marshal must possess a number of important qualities, namely to be able to make decisions instantly, have resistance to stress, and, of course, know the rules of combat. The marshal has to pay special attention to prohibited actions, i.e. he/she should know all […]

Jacq, France: “You have to truly love your marshal duties, and then everything will be all right!”
I think, first of all, the marshal must have a certain experience of historical medieval battles, and not necessarily be a person who has been competing, but a person who knows what armor and weapons look like. Also, you need not to be afraid of being close to fighters during battles on the lists. And, […]
