There came an idea of traditional reenactment Battle of Mrač (medieval fortress near Prague), but nowadays in HMB coat. We would like to hold the battle in HMB style and with HMB rules. You can expect tournament also 5vs5, All vs All, 3vs3, profights and triathlon. Participants can build their tents, but we will aslo provide few ours and some free space on the fortress. There will be some medieval style food for participants as well as few kegs of beer for everyone :) All teams from Czech republic should participate in tournament and battle and also few other teams from foreign countries. We register now teams and fighters from Germany, Croatia, Spain, Belarus, Poland, Slovakia, Austria and France, but many new participants are nowadays asking for registration also. We also received registration from 3 women teams for 3vs3 play! There will be also few profights and triathlon duels. We will also offer the possibiity to join the fight for amateurs and beginners during the day, we register big interest in this. You can find all actual informations about our battle here: facebook.com/BitvaMrac if you have any questions, feel free to ask us and use the Contact page.
