Jüriöö Uprising

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.

The place is familiar to many Finns who have participated in previous years, ask them for directions or if in trouble contact me: allan@vgk.ee
Or you can check the directions to the site here (the Nordic Equinox homepage, nothing to do with Jüriöö, just useful information):

The event is free of charge, foreign participants do not have to attend the earlier program if unable to - even if you arrive at 16:00 that's fine with us, plenty of time for you to get ready.

Lodgings in tents. (The nights in late April are relatively comfortable in Estonia)
Bring your own food. (Or buy it dirt cheap in local stores in Tallinn or Jõgeva :D)

First week of registration saw 230 participants signing up - although it has slowed down a bit we hope to have a number close to 400-500 on the field. You can check the registration list yourself for any people you might know:
