Survive in spite of

Something a lot was on the Yap about the war. And I decided to gash a topic.

Or rather not even about war, but about how I fought for role-playing game "live in spite of," which is part of the movement "Mike" in May (which gave him the name) of each year.

This is not a reconstruction. Although this game fights were tough in the reenactment.

The game itself was held from 1 to 4 May at the site near the village with the name of Casino gambling (or casinos, as anyone) that under the Lipetsk.

Not all pictures covering the game events collected at the moment. But I think it is pointless to wait for them. I promise that I will add to this topic as they are discovered. Who are the "mayyantsev" reads the PL and him have something to share - feel free to add.

My story covers nearly 1 full day and a bit of other bites. For me, that time has flown by so quickly and clearly that I allowed myself to weave past events in virtually non-stop line, sometimes inserting pictures from other days. I hope, dear audience, you will forgive me.

48 photos will be. And that was not tiring, will entertain you with hilarious commentary bukovkami.

In the photo I'm right.





2. The setting of the game XIII-XIV centuries. Our camp - played for Warband.

All attributes observed. In our settlement except the fortress were:
 - Common room (he pictured);
 - Forge right;
 - Church with the hospital with her left;
 - Armoury.
 - Fireplace.

Thought even cross drive and sacrifice on it "crucify", but due to lack of time, gave up.



3. They built a long time, used to strengthen the previous games. But much has been done from scratch.

Our team consisted of two divisions - Lipetsk ("Guard") and Eletsky (Untitled, just like-minded). I'm from Yelets. We could only once a week to come to the aid of colleagues, but these days have time to help in many ways.

Building a Hearth month before Mikey. I left.



4. In between, and in the presence of free time organized the so-called "maneuvers". Where checked the strength and completeness of ammunition, identifies weaknesses of selected solutions and ways to implement.

This is what we Yelets on maneuvers 2 weeks prior to Mikey. I left in a suit Pasechnik.



5. About a week before arrival, "maneuvering" with lipchanami. Learn how to approach and withdrawal systems.

Yours truly is the "door" over the heads of the back rows.



6. Thus, it is done!

April 30 entered.

1 May the whole country in parades. And we did not break the tradition.

Total construction in the hollow, seen a lot of builds. Presentation of who is where and for whom.

Here are our guys. I arrow marked - in the second row in a helmet with a "round timber" and bludgeon.



7. This Novgorod (followed by the playing of the city, especially the real I specify).

In the last day of their wedding Prince was in the tavern. But more about that later. They brought the game catapult.



8. And someone brought the most terrible weapon: Cute PSE. At the sight of him dying from any enemy attack mimimishnosti.

PSE igruchim turned so that he was tirelessly could spend hours watching.

Here it is - the hero. I pictured not, as in the previous.



9. And these are our guys pose in front of the fortress wall.



10. running ahead. How will a sufficient number of photos, paying more attention to this day, and so far only one:

Bugurt!

Occurred in the last day (in fact, the 3rd of May). Here at the reenactment principle - who on his feet, beat it, until the master ottaschat.

Particularly hellish ad was in the final - when the wall on the wall attacked with a running start, and all were hugging! And then swing at the hands of the only female warrior!

On it, too, is to tell apart. But in the absence of the right fit gallery, Anya, I'm sorry.

On the same day, and was referred to a Wedding and performance of "Skolot" ... Oh, would more photos ...



11. The first day, the Stadium near the tavern.

The heated beer Bukhalkov want protection without breaking its skull hammer.

Sorry master felt that battle without armor with 1 hit (ie before the first strike) - nezrelischno too.



12. In general, it is - my unarmored kostyumcheg.

It includes:
 - Leather boots knee (double saddle on the sole, forged nails reenactors);
 - Linen, painted moraine pants tied with ribbons at the bottom to avoid interference of the knots;
 - Woolen shirt, sewn by hand by me personally though. collar - Front button of leather;
 - Gray wool cloak;
 - Fibula North European - just below the game;
 - Scandinavian belt;
 - Embossed leather handbag with Scandinavian design.

It seems nothing is forgotten.



13. Often my kostyumcheg complementary leather carrying beer.

Entourage is? There Is. What's inside a plastic bottle - not visible. Lepota.



14. Well and a knife in a sheath reenactment.

Not mine. Because the era not prompt. Narrow acute bone handle, wide blade.

So as not to lose, do not wear it with a raid.



15. So, our first foray was made jointly in the morning. As it turned out, in the morning for some reason everyone was asleep, despite the fact that the start of the day's play at 8:00, and we arrived at about 10.

In the photo - the host of 2 settlements. Your humble servant is absent because he was appointed to the protection of our city, after we took the easy 3 others.

I have given to the load 2 archers, but they have never reached.

As a result, for we had raided and I was killed.

And some scoundrel, beat me with the sword under the fold of the knee - the only place that almost no one is immune. As a result, I have there now a bloody lump.

Well, God will judge him ...



16. Speaking of assault weapons.

This ballista. She dragged along Lithuanians. In my first storm, which I will describe below, from this ballista hit on the nose to one companion.

Can you imagine? Polutorametrovy eldovina flew 20 meters and got straight to the nose!

Here on these cases and used gumanizatory. Two feet in paralon shook with nehily paralonovym same pillow at the end.

The guy just scratched his nose. Well, he can wear minishram with pride!



17. For what are we fighting?

But for these young ladies!

Their nice loot, ponasilovat and (judging by the white bandage on his head - hayratniku) kill.



18. No, you look! There's a whole city treasury! Exactly two!

PL and boobs - friendship forever!



19. And here are the nymphs ...



20. For these ladies and I died and went to the other world - in Mertvyatnik.

Met a lot of interesting people and craftsmen to turn us into monsters.

And the army of the undead dead under predvaditelstvom master went nightmares and ruin tucked settlement.

That is, nothing has changed ...

Except for the fact that through the closed gate, we were really very easy.

After running a "monster" and killed a bunch of the innocent population, I went back to the living world ...



21. Where will revive any dead-drunk body? That's right! In the Tavern!

For life and can miss a mug or two ...



22. While we are impoverished tavernskie stocks slain our enemies the same Army of the Dead visited by us in the Order.

Killed where caught. For example, at the gate.

Do not have finished. Man with 0 hits (non-negative thing) alive, but dead. Paradox.

And with such paradoxes we are fighting in the parish Hospital.

Here and dragged him to be treated, just did not crawl.



23. The time has come for me a little pobravirovat booking.

This is the top of my armor:

 - Shishak clasp;
 - Balaclava-nabivnik wool.

What's interesting, I saw your shadow in a raincoat when wearing only balaclava ...

Brothers! Shadow - clean Darth Vader !!! We had a walk in the Imperial March raids.



24. Actually, the inhabitants of the surrounding villages - Tsivil - came to see us. Did not hesitate.

That is one of the tourists trying chainmail.

"OnazhyZhenschina!" - I thought and advised not to wear, but simply estimate kolchuzhku. Yes, at the same time he reined.

All the same, about 15 kg ...



25. Photos from the tourist. Now who's "obezyanka"?

On the rest of the armor:

 - Chain mail of summary rings. sleeves and mid-forearm (nunidadelal. wire ended on the eve of departure);
 - Bracers Cheprak thick leather strap, drawstring;
 - Leather gloves with printed thickening of the back of the hands and holes for ventilation on the palms;

White completes the composition cotta with a wide black cross.

To improve safety in the battle of pants put on kneepads household fails store for 230 rubles with plastic cover. Lightweight comfortable, fashionable among tilers!



26. This is me in the armor with the helmet in hand go to Munitions undress. Before the storm there is still time.



27. Myshkatoliki! We have a Pope!

And then came, then once the above Dad accompanied by 3 nuns (one is afraid of, apparently), and a man's voice says:

 - To an hour later I collected tithes.

Photography is called: "Is not magnus # ish Do you Daddy?»

What I took away from the meeting with the Pope? Well, I will describe later. In the meantime, just say a certain wisdom:

Three nuns six boobs.

From the crowd of hungry barbarians Pope cover feeding, not otherwise.



28. Here we come to the very sweet. Who have not yet tired of my pictures and letters.

My first assault.

It was the rainy spring day ... Yes. In the afternoon the rain came down again at night and 5 3.

And we wanted to shturmanut even Catholic, but Lithuania. Remember the girl in a green dress? In-in.

Came to the gate together with Novgorod. Priperli catapult and "all Weathertop ...».

I won there, an arrow marked. Cover your katapultschika by arrows from the wall.

Incidentally, the arrow at them good. Many of our dislodged.



29. After an hour and a half stones catapult over. I walked away from her, to see the shooters and time to block arrows.

By that time I had already been hit by an arrow.

At the foot. In the same. She surrendered to them ...



30. Stones in there? Then Taraaaaaaan!

Filmed in the dynamics. Imagine what overclocking guys with a battering ram.



31. Gates kicked out! Then a little poetry of war:

... Under the guise of the arrows we walked to the gate line up a steel roller on the slippery from the rain bridge ...



32. Ice Rink!

Also called "Train».

I'm out there, under the arrows in the second row. The photo has almost the fourth row.

I flew on the helmet ogogo how many times! Helmet saved unreal! Boca stabbed advocates on each side of the gate. Someone even came back to me in the leg ... At the same! Their mother!

And do not fall down, and sit down, and do not block the vulnerabilities - a steel-cold mush.

Master stopped the onslaught and said:

 - The first two rows on each side dead. Remove the corpses.

However, the battle I took my miracle portability for beer. So, coming out of the fight and having met the first monk from the monastery, he poured a glass of vodka, I was resurrected ...!

That's what makes the life-giving beer!



33. And where do go, if the rear props so that's a crowd.



34. thinning ranks of the defenders are preparing to fend off already rushed into the fortress of stormtroopers.



35. iiii TIME !!!



36. With us - GOD !!!

This is our cry, Teutonic.

That's the storming I already resurrected, killed two.

1. Failed turned his back on me and the sword shall be cut into the cabbage (bludgeon did not take).
2. 0 hits and killed medichkami asked him to finish. Well, I'm a good man, a compassionate Christian ...



37. But one Lithuanian.

During the grinder described him on our side under the helmet robust design with a spear or halberd flew.

However, please note: smiles, pleased.

And how can you not be happy ?! You know as adrenaline running through my veins? And such a positive and voodushivlenie the good friendly squabble!

It is inexpressibly!

Death, although she play, but death. Her avoid hunting. And when you're the last to die, it is the pride and inspires respect enemies.

Eh ... I can not describe the feelings of the scale of pleasure that you get in such amusements.



38. And after a good storm and looting with violence and massacres of innocent wealthy guardsman where to go?

That's right! In the Tavern!

Here are a local team on authentic instruments of its own production entertains people walking in every way.

The musician left a long pipe, carved from a tree trunk.

Former protivobortsy drink at one table and bawling in unison with musicians songs.

P.S. Just be patient, there were 10 ph.



39. Tired but infected tavernshchikom general merriment.

These guys played for all Mike's hyper mode. Tavern is not idle for a minute.

Half-liter bowl meal with a half-liter mug of beer you could always buy. And sometimes elicit. And sometimes treat ourselves from the bounty tavernshchikom themselves. And sometimes the quest to do in Hustler ...

Yes, by the way. The name of the tavern pleased:

"Drunken stag»

I think it reflects the maximum contingent of such institutions.



40. And what sort of night in the tavern, but without Fire show?

Here is one photo from the fire-lizard.



41. But the morning comes and you're looking at the horn in front of him remember how buzzed yesterday Tavern ... and sad ...

Are you drunk yesterday was the deer?



42. Remove the horns! He's like a horn ...

Here. Was fun. Person sitting brightened.

After all, as the saying blondinologika if I do not remember it - so it was not.



43. It's time to go to Mass in the Monastery.

Dressed up, but went.

Monastic house completely comprehended the crowd of 40 schschey in Plate-Chain garb. There is a place for the altar and that those koldyrey Holy Fathers, treats monastery wine.

In stage 3, and the heat of having served the required number of candles, we sprinkled holy water and sent to God, holy armor!



44. And still ... How many people yesterday at Tavern sinned ...

Remember, many pictures before I tell you about the Pope and his tithe?

In general, penance imposed on me for gluttony. 4 hits removed. That is, all the armor had a blacksmith reforge ...

But I was still okay.

Two of my colleagues in general accused of bestiality! And the next day sent a masterful decision that we had a demographic explosion and we need to make double the amount of food for the economic cycle.

So I thought, maybe not in vain these comrades accused of something ...



45. But in that moment, we were told that the expected assault on the fortress of our consolidated forces.

In the photo, our Grand Master gives us the CO tactics of defense and assigns roles.

We also helped. For example, I fought in the 3rd row directly side by side with the lady-warrior Anya. Strong young lady, I assure you.

In a number placed not more than 3 people. In the 3rd - 4 archers and crossbowmen on the walls. There's also "a man with a gaff on duty." Well, that is the spear in case someone through a wall to get udumali.



46. ​​The projectile had lunch, took communion, prayed, they sprinkled the fuck defend their hearth and home.

And here is the trouble, sorrow. Photos with no defense. Our photographer ended 2 fairly roomy stick, and other photographers have not posted anything in my reach.

In short, I died in the last wave, or 4th, or 5th prior to the expiration of the defenders. Took with him 3.

Stayed with 0 hits and was cured for 10 minutes has not yet slaughtered hilershey.

We have taken away one spear and we broke two lances on the shields of the attackers. Drove them too much.

And then went to the Tavern for a walk.



47. Indeed, in the Tavern especially for us is a group of "Skolot»!

My friends, unfortunately, our group is not posted on the background of the speaker bows Skolota. But these bows are. I'll try to get hold of these days and replenish the topic.



48. Well, it's the end of our adventure in the world today XIII-XIV centuries with the Teutonic Knights with a Scandinavian name Swart.

I show off on Yap relish than PL dear to me.

I hope it was interesting to me and my story will ignite the spark of romance in your souls.

And who will be my first serious shpalovat broad topic on Yap, but kicking me to come to a settlement and navigators.

By Grand Master, boobs trapped Women and cats Yap!

Amen!

P.S. Photography is called: You - the next.
