Once again the struggle for Estonian freedom or German domination will take place in Kassinurme, Estonia, on 24 - 25th of April 2010. The game is a boffer-fighting (bofferointi) event, using elements of skirmish scenarios, ending in a massive castle siege. There will be no pause between the two elements it is entirely up to the players when exactly the skirmish will turn into a siege.
