Mannfall II

Post by Kortoso »

A Viking-Age group in the Czech Republic (or is it now Czechia?)
Bjornstad wrote:MANNFALL is a new, educational-experimental concept of early medieval events that aims for a more intensive and progressive reenactment. Every event will be held at a different place with a different scenerio. Here are photos from the second try that took place on November 16th-19th 2017. In total, there were 10 players, 5 fighting members of caravan, 3 attackers and 3 dogs. Players had to protect the caravan on its way to Křivoklát castle. What made Mannfall special was the fact it was not just a hike, but there was also a fight. During the journey, everyone had to sleep in nature, protect themselves from the bandits and cross a river. At the event's climax, the caravan's security retinue captured the bandits, bound their hands and brought them to the castle. That completed the game and everyone joined in to enjoy a banquet. All participants enjoyed the event, even though it was a very hard lesson. The participants drank water from wells and streams. The total distance was more than 28 km, with food, woolen blankets and wargear. Those who joined in were members of 8 different groups from 3 countries, so the event had a positive impact on the community in our republics. Enjoy the pictures.

Shame these sorts of things don't often happen closer to home :lol:
Gimli: It's true you don't see many Dwarf-women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf-men.
Aragorn: It's the beards.

They do...we just have to do it ourselves!

That's about 17 miles of travel. Probably split between two days, but it's quite a trek for many of us modern types.
