Battle of the Nations - Live steel fighting

[Jacob]

I wonder if the flags on the backdrop represents the competing nations. I spotted both China and Japan in there, and of course Quebec.

Overview of teams:

I like how the captain of the Japanese team is a white dude 

Anyhow, it appears that  the flags on the backdrop do not indicate that a team is represented.

The Austrian team, meanwhile, features a Joji Ishikawa.

The 5 vs. 5 battles are much easier to follow than the 21 vs 21 ones..

[Syt]

And another Italian (or the same as yesterday?) knocked out.

Unfortunately, the Japanese use European armor.

Unfortunately, the Japanese use European armor.

If they used Japanese style armour they'd get utterly trounced.

[Syt]

They could probably go for some sort of Kendo armor variant.

Thanks. Just getting up. Did I miss much? I'll watch it all later on replay, but anything that I should watch for?

[Syt]

I'm drifting in and out.

Currently the subgroup with America 3 competing. I'm guessing some of the Americans used to play football? They seem to tackle a bit more than other teams.

Not to my knowledge, no, but I don't know them all.

I wish there was a running tally sheet somewhere.

[merithyn]

We'll see a lot more teams today. There were a lot that were too small for the 21 vs 21.

Germany against Italy is up now, Syt.

[merithyn]

Austria was decimated by Russia.

I LOVE Germany's uniforms! The dags absolutely make the tunics.

The announcer: "A camera was stolen from a camp, so please, give it back. You can turn it in at the info area."

[merithyn]

That was a hard fight. Well done both teams.

Russia and USA after this series.
