Great pics! thanks for sharing Macilrille! That seems a really interesting organisation! Back in Canada, it's mostly western european Medieval assossiations that are. Although in a festival#I saw, this year for the first time, a assossiation specialized in viking reenactement and lifestyle! Interesting that your combat are at one touch, as I read on your site. Where I fight, it's 3 touches combat. Makes the combat somewhat longer. Best weapon combinaison... at least for me, axe and sword... Withg the lower tip of the axe you can toss away the shield of the opponant while striking with the sword. Can you wear two weapons in your organisation? I didn't read such combinaison on the site, that's why I'm asking!

anyway, thanks again!

ur wrong, there's no such thing as the axe and sword, there's only Da Choppa and Da Cutta.

Pity there's isn't much Dakka yet =[

The Jerman Club Boyz have that nice low tech(even by EB standards) but still somehow effective. If only they came in green and red and retarded.

Finally! I wondered how no one linked these guys before, as they're pretty obviously one of the most "WAAAGHH!"-est units around - no armour, a few pointy sticks to throw at the 'umies from afar and a proper choppa to maul one's enemies in mêlée.

OK, you might find this funny but I don't. If you like the sorry state in which we've brought ourselves in not only in matters such as proper language but many others as well (which go straight to the core of the human society and its eminent disintegration), then that's fine by me. But don't expect me to just sit here watching you do your "thing". I've grown enough sick of this watching my little brother use Greeklish instead of Greek (and using "i"s everywere instead of "oi", "y", "ei" etc.), as well as apply several of what we call "barbarisations" of our language for example. I just hoped I would't see the same things over here as well. Especially from people which I would consider educated and, at least, intelligent.

Considering this thread was intentended to be HUMOROUS, you're acting in a pretty darn partykillerish manner. I myself write almost exclusively in proper English/Finnish/etc. unless intent on bringing about a humorous reaction within the audience, but the time and place to defend proper language is somewhere else, sometime else, imho, than in this thread. Or, 'tleast, ought to be, as far my opinion is considered.

Also, I presume you have not exactly acquainted with the WH40k/WHFB fantasci-fi world and the Orckin that reside within, eh?

*Sigh*

I didn't expect any positive reaction here anyway. I was just considering the fact that maybe someone would have the prestige and ethical posture to actually understand this was going way out of hand. And I may be too rough on this, but I don't remember any other occassion during which a thread fell so down (OK, maybe except the ones where I bashed about Makedonia, but I did apologise for those instances). After all, I don't see what Orcs and all those idiotic creations of some crazy person's imagination have to do with EB?

The tavern (in both of its incarnations)?

a) What does Bartix have to do with anything? Afair Bartix even had a joke unit card in the game files at one point...

b) "Idiotic creations of some crazy person's imagination"?
You seem to have some big antipathies towards folk/fantasy creatures...

Also, the orcs were reintroduced to the modern society by the good ol' J.R.R., who as far as I know did not suffer from any sort of mental illness or suchlike.

I fear the thread is derailing, but to express my opinion; I do not oppose the EB forums having humoristic threads aside more formal ones discussing game features, new ideas et cetera. Those not in a mood for a more light-hearted conversation need not participate, and may instead focus on the more serious threads.

NP I like to spread the word.
Your questions:
1. Metal armour + helmet = 2 touches.
2. Yes, I used it often and consider myself one of the experts. It is a blind alley, despite its fun, an opponent with large shield + sword and equal skill will beat you in my 16 year experience.

For even more fun try searching for "Moesgaard" and "Huscarl" on youtube.

Pah, I detest wild, charging barbaroi. We Hellenes have proved more than enough times that discipline wins over barbarism any day. Though I do find the usage of, say, Tindanotae, quite effective when I'm campaigning in Anatolia. Damn stoners are mighty expensive too. I guess the stuff they're on is of accordingly expense...
