Sir Nathan was so rebellious as a youth that one day he actually took his parents' lunch money meant for a nutritious meal at school & spent it on snack machine items. LOL How daring. :P

Unless it turns out like the battle of the Ice, (Lake Peipus).  In which case it would look kind of like this

Nah. Only thing 'skimmed' was the extra money from his parents so he could get chocolate milk instead.

Those things sound like fun!!!! :D

If a fight breaks out a gain between the Pagans and the Teutonic knights I’m game, I will play the role my family always has in the issue, work for the Kingdom of Sweden and take land while you both are occupied trying to kill each other, and then fight to keep it. ;)

Lake Peipus wasn't against pagans, it was against Novgorod. Also there were like only 40 Knights actually there (it was a force marshaled by the local Bishop) and it was outnumbered 3-1, with most of it's forces composed of native levys of doubtful quality, all fighting on the ice. I would hope in those circumstances, Novgorod's greatest hero could pull off a victory...

And I reenact the 14th century, you just see how taking Teutonic land works out for you  ;)

Sir William, the Grosskomtur (Grand commander) was the 2nd highest rank in the Teutonic Order, directly below that of Hochmiester.

Also how dare you accuse me of chocolate milk thievery! This is outrage!  :o

Sir, you guys decided to attack the Novgorod Republic after Swedish forces weakened their forces on a different front. The people of the Novgorod were pagan & Eastern Orthodox Christians. True you only had more than 400 T. knights & around 4,000 Chud warrior/knights were accompanying them.  Making the difference if number between the opposing forces around 2,000. Lucky you guys did not suffer many casualties, we did however lose the day.
(I mean my people died there with your guys fighting against them to take Novgorod. The alliance between Denmark, Sweden, and the Teutonic Order in1238 served my name well, as we acquired titles in Teutonic lands &/or land that were once Teutonic.)

Also thievery of chocolate milk  :o shame on you… (I will admit to have done this. ;D)

A duel you say!?!? It's on!!! Hammer time is fast approaching Sir Nathan. So I hope you got enough chocolate milk in you. I so dislike beating a malnourished knight. :P I'll keep the 'Butter-nubs' in reserve in case you collapse.  ;D

I already landed 'Hood' & 'Garelick Farms' as sponsors for the regalia event. 'Nestle's Quik' was going to hook you up Sir Nathan but they heard about your dishonest endeavors and could not be associated with such an un-knightly scandal.  :P

Most estimates put the forces at 2000 vs 6000, in Novgorod's favor.
I highly doubt there could have been 400 Teutonic Knights at Lake Peipus, considering the number of Knights never exceeded about 800 or so. You perhaps mean the total Teutonic forces. Also we didn't just decide to attack, Bishop Hermann of Estonia took a levy in pursuit of Nevsky's forces when they turned and offered battle.   

Also while Novgorod employed Pagans, itself as a state wasn't Pagan but Orthodox. 

And yes, that is the early half of the 13th century. We were barely established in the Baltic at that point. In the 14th century, even acquiring lands from the Ordenstaat via political machinations like you mentioned would be difficult. The saying throughout Europe was "If you think you're so clever, go deceive the Lords of Prussia!"

ALLEGED chocolate milk thievery  ;) 

And Lord Dane, I doubt your hammer time can approach faster than my sword, or as far as my spear.  8)

Will serve me like a wench in a tavern; or a whore in a brothel. :P Which is to say, with a drink in hand & to my satisfaction. LOL Bring it on!!!!  8) I'll have chocolate covered 'Butter-nubs' YUM YUM to distract your focus and a longsword for the trimmings.  ;)

This is going to be fun, Sir Nathan. I'll bring you a complimentary gift should you land first steel. ** Oh good news too!! ** ATTN: Thorsteinn. Meeting with the USA BOTN Team May 18, 19 weekend for some full-armored SCA demos in Barony of the Bridge (Johnston, RI). Should be a good turn out. I'll get some pics. :) :)
