I cant thank everyone enough for watching and commenting on this video!! I really do not know why this one has done so well. I feel like I have gotten better at editing and have better videos! If you enjoy this video and want to see more awesome medieval content check out my other video! I recommend The Grand Battle 5 part series!!
My dad fought in this battle. My mom never got over his death. We miss him everyday. 😢
He fought very bravely. And was hailed during the party after the battles! Lol great comment!
The sheer scale of this is so impressive!
It is an amazing experience to be there in person! I have gone 3 times now and it get better each year!
This is nothing. You should see some of the 50 vs 50 or 100 vs 100 battles they do with metal weapons and not nerf toys. That is entertaining.

lol figures it'd be the roman legionaries who breach the wall. I saw that wall of shields early on and immediately knew what was gonna happen.
They are an awesome guild and a great force on battlefield! It's so much fun!
Awesome to see how this has grown since the years I was there ... about 20-25 years ago! 😂 I think the first castle was built in my last 2 years of attendance. Great memories! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! it would be amazing to be able to see how it was way back then!
You can see how some battle hardened warriors would of had a field day in some ancient battles watching this.
Especially with how well armored some knights were. It would take so much to kill a big group of fully armored well trained soldiers!
Their defense was so poorly planned and organized 😂 1st line should have been shields up in the gaps Second line should have been spears and pikes. Archers should have been grouped togather firing as one over the wall to cover more area. Everyone else should have been on the flanks and a 3rd line of support behind the spears/ pikes.
@markhennessy7598 you don't have a clue what you are talking about when it comes to Bicolline battles. We are a small guild tasked with defending the far right door. We had all the shields we had in front. We had our spears and our halberds behind our shields. We had our archers behind that and our skirmishers were helping where they could. You have no idea what the other two thousand people are doing. It would be completely unsafe and against the rules to volley or lob arrows over the wall. We are not a bunch a trained medieval soldiers we are people on vacation having fun doing a hobby. I would love to see you organize a bunch of people in two days to do what you are expecting out of this event. Yeah it's fantasy battle but get real bud or please come show us how it's done!
@@TallianAdventures Bro calm down, I think this shit is super cool lol What is the point of arrows though if you can't volley them. Kind of makes archers pointless. Do they not let you game plan before?
@@TallianAdventures Who takes the lead? It just seems like a free for all.
I’ve not seen the like of this.
Looks like a hell of a good time and so impressed with the number of folks involved.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! If you have any questions dont hesitate to ask!
“Ok fellas, last one standing loses their virginity”
Oh man, if they announced that at the beginning and had a super hot chick there waiting for the winner, that would have seriously spiced it up
@@HellolBuffalol that would be hilarious
Wooow, qué gracioso el español chulo cuyo solo interés será la monotonía del futbol. Bien hecho, chavalito!
@@darrendin2050 otro hombre Que no consigue mujeres. Te quedó el saco 😂😂
the absolute dime of a headshot at 9:20 is hilarious
She's just the photographer too, hahaha
I laughed so hard when I saw the arrow meet its target
One great piece of fun you had!) Meanwhile we can see yet another example of how important a good disciplined line is in battle!
Eyy! Thank you for capturing this! I was part of Ordo Cervi!
Best Battle I had inYEARS!!
Ohhh, my imagination is tingling with the thought of a cavalry charge companion style
Companion style?? Is that with 2 riders? That would be soo awesome if we could do something like that!!!!
@@TallianAdventures Well, I actually meant Alexander's companion cavalry
But, riding with 2 people sounds amazing too
@@TallianAdventures You could even try horse archery! And a whole competition for it too would be incredible
❤ this looks so epic. The work and care done in their armour and gear is beautiful.
This looks like 90'ies LARP in europe to me... if you want to see really cool LARP costumes and fights, search for EPIC EMPIRES 2022 or EPIC EMPIRES 2023... its one of the best LARPs in my opinion... with great costumes and really immersive... these Canadian or American LARPs are always like a big mix of everything, no great costume-line, just a bunch of individiual questionable costumes... and these safety googles really turn me down.
@@Microbe1972 thank you mate.
This is not really my thing, but I appreciate it. I see a lot of comments giving tactics and strategy, and it's a bit ridiculous. These guys are just having fun, leaving them be. My one issue though with this and all hobbies similar is morale. The majority of casualties happened when lines broke and people ran in fear. That's how battles were won, not two armies running into each other until one side completely dies. Unfortunately, you can't really replicate that unless your life is really on the line. You're not gonna see for example, a left flank collapsing and hundreds running in fear. Then, it causing the rest of the army to be hit in the flank. Leading to more fleeing and a complete route. In the end though these guys are having a good time and that's all that matters.
WOW someone who actually looks at this realistically!! we are just people out having fun on vacation! Some of these people act like we should all be trained soldiers who want to die in battle. Thank you for watching and commenting actual common sense!!
This is incredible. Such imagination and fellowship. Great capture of the content.
Thank You!! I feel like you would love the Grand Battle videos I have! I'm not sure why this one is getting so many views. Its just the lucky one!
This is badass! Yall are awesome for doing this!
Thank you!!! You can always come be awesome with us!!
This is just awesome!
Thank you!!!!
No words in need just see n enjoy
This looks like an awesome weekend.
Even better its a week long event!!
This is the most beautiful and silly thing I've ever witnessed. 😀Nice hobby guys, keep it real like this❤
That's what I first thought when I saw a RUclips video on this place! It's truly an amazing time! Thanks for watching!
Glad to see how it goes on the opposite side :D
But good fight, good fairplay. ^^ (Yes I know there is always some derps not fair... but overall this year it was nice)
(I'm a Dragoniers ... with the Empire ... but with the Cercle religion)
In Hoc Draco Vincemus!!
I agree! This was my third year and the best one yet! I feel like I didnt see anyone getting angry or upset at anyone else on the battlefield and everyone was playing fair and having a blast!!!
LOOKS FUN❗️❗️
Thank you! It is literally the most fun I have ever had!
i hope some military related strategist gets into these sort of things. or someone of related standings, they rallying and take over would be so fun to watch
Maybe if it wasn’t for the fantasy stuff, but there’s realistic reenactment.
Oh yeaaaaah!!! this is epic af
Thank you!!! Its soo much fun!
I wonder what would actual medieval solider think seeing this.
That is an interesting thought!
They would be laughing calling you all noobs
THEY THINK ITS A PARTY HAHAHA!!!
it's amazing!! :O
Thank you!!!! If you have time you should check out some of my other videos!! I feel like some of them are way better than this one!!
that's my actual office life before thank you for sharing nostalgia on this 😂
Did you use to work at Bicolline???
I really like the difference between European and American LARP. Here in Czechia, even when it's a fantasy game, almost every larger event has some limits and regulations on how to dress, to keep the immersion. Anything modern looking won't pass, no plastic helmets or shields, all has to be at least partially ihstorically accurate. People generally look up actual medieval clothing for reference. It's taken relatively seriously. And here it's just a lot of random stuff, steampunk, medieval, basically a mash of random stuff. And it looks like a blast!
Yeah lol it looks ridiculous . fun sure but ridiculous
I guess if you want to think that way but this is really over 200 guilds coming together to fight together. I think of it as a lot of different allied armies fighting together just on a smaller scale.
@@TallianAdventures No i meant the fantasy, cyberpunk over the top armor, the event is great but some of those armor designs do not belong there
@Filsoh oh I understand where you are coming from for sure! I do think that is fairly uncommon in my opinion.
People are crazy ! But everyone has a hobby and i respect it. Have a fun
Thanks for watching and having a great view on it!
8:55 Advanced Archer Tactics :D
I'm glad y'all are having fun.
Thank you! It truly is the most amazing time!
damn look at this pro battle photo master!
lol LINK!!!! Look at this assassin!!! cant wait till next year brother!
hehe this looks so fun :D
It was soo much more fun than I had ever imagined! I had always dreamed about medieval combat and this really helped bring that to life!
this looks like fun :)
Its the most fun!!!
This is a good mod for Mount And Blade Bannerlord
Beautiful combat
Thank you!!!!
@@TallianAdventures no no thank you I can't get enough xD
Dam!!!
How did I not know about this??!!!
I'm pissed that I missed that!
Right!!! I discovered Bicolline about 8 years ago and wish i had discovered it much sooner!! It took me a few years to be able to afford it but i finallly took that leap and never turned back!! If you want to know a few resources to help with the logistics of a trip like this dont hesitate to ask!!
Yo, this was the best week ive had all year, i was in Ordo Cervi, We were attacking the far left (for you) far right (for us) for the first wave, i Loved the battles most 😁
Same! And same! My first year was the best week of my entire life! And it's only been getting better ever since! Did we ever meet? My bico name is Tallian with The March Wardens! I have the black and gold armour!
Roman's testudo are very useful for this kind of wall .
Epic
Thank you!!!
9:20 Virgin Bowmans Chastity arrow headshots BattleWench
😂😂😂😂 this comment killed me
Me too!
Damn i'm impressed! even though it's LARP, respect!
Would love to have the same scale of battle with Re-Enactors :D
Lol I wouldn't nock larp until you have tried bicolline larp! It's amazing. I used to think I could never get into it but I'm 4 years in now lol
@TallianAdventures I did reenactment at Neustadt-Glewe (~300 fighters) and Larp at Mythodea (PVE back then only 6k) & Drachenfest(PVP with 3k). Reenactment has the better fights and the better looking camps, Larp has the bigger fights and the more atmospheric camps. Was a good time ^^
I recognized the The Ultimate LARPing Experience guy at the start of the video, I am here watching this because I stumbled across his video. I have never been interested in LARPing before, and it is not really something that is prevalent in my country, but it looks like a hell of a lot of fun.
Thanks for watching! His bicolline name is Withers and he is a really great guy! What country do you come from? I didn't have a huge want to go larping before I saw Bicolline videos!
this is insane and awesome
Thank you! I agree!
Everytime I see something like this, I remember SM Stirling's Dies The Fire/Emberverse book series, and how all these SCA fanatics and RenFaire larpers suddenly had to use their skills & gear for real. It adds a different complexion to this event.
I must read this book series!!! Thank you!
@@TallianAdventures You're welcome!
This looks fun
Its the most FUN!!!!
This has to be some of the funniest shit I’ve ever seen, I’m not knocking them I’m glad they’re having fun but it’s just so funny to me
It really is quite funny! I also love the profile pic Ricky!
Insane
Wow! Thanks for watching! I have seen some of your videos as well!
@@TallianAdventures thx you too! Your videos is awsome!
Never heard of or seen anything like this and all I have to say is WHAT IS THIS?!?! I WANT IN!!!!!
Exactly one of the reasons I wanted to make these videos!! To bring more people to this amazing event! It's a week long event called The Grand Battle of Bicolline! It is over 350 acres of land in Quebec Canada just a couple hours north east of Montreal. It is the best week of my life every year I go and I have gone 3 years so far lol!
I got on camera for a good minute haha this my biggest achievement
im sure you will see yourself many more times in the upcoming videos!!!
Same LOL with the shield with the red cross😂
@@hellwolf23 hell yeah!! I have soo much more video of all the battles coming out!!
MY EYE! OH GOD MY EYE!!!
This looks amazing, I've heard of larping but never seen it on a scale like this, love the variety of costumes, how do you know who's on which team?
Great question and thanks for watching! I was the same as you when I first saw bicolline videos on RUclips! I had heard of larping but this was on a realistic level from the battles to the towns. So as you enter the battlefield your side is given either a blue or yellow ribbon that you tie onto your arm to show what side you are with.
One side had blue strips tied to their arm…
this look so cool ive been trying to get into larp but dont know where to go.
I was exactly like you when I first saw a RUclips video about Bicolline! I can give you some tips on how I go to Bicolline if you are interested. I think Bicolline is one of the best places to do larping for your first time. you can sit back and watch or partake in really deep role play and everywhere inbetween!
This seems quite enjoyable.
It's amazing! And when you are done battling you can party or relax in the river or a hundred other amazing things at this event!
Its all fun and games till they got isekaid
I would like to join this it look so much fun
If you have any questions on good ways to be able to go to this amazing event don't hesitate to ask!
I need to go to one of these one day xD
When that time comes for you let me know and i can give you some pointers!!
@@TallianAdventures that would be sweet
Ultimate larping
"THE WEEABOOS ARE COMING!!!"
9:20 camera lady in white takes arrow to the face😂😂😂
a master of his craft😂😂
Dude you got a max level guy wearing the best suit of armor in the universe on your team! My gosh this is so amazing!
What part of the video are you talking about???? I'm pretty sure though that at bicolline you don't have different levels of warriors!
@@TallianAdventures pardon me I don’t really know much about this festival. I mean the guy wearing glasses stands beside your defensive line. He’s looked so cool with that armor. Is this a yearly event? Or a kind of theme park? It’s looks more fantasy than historical re-enactment.
@user-zp5ql2xi2s sorry I didn't mean to come off as rude! I was just really curious and enthusiastic! Was he in a lot of purple and black? If it's who I think it is that's our general! He actually made all his armor! This place is called Bicolline and the event is a week long event called The Grand Battle of Bicolline! It is held in Quebec Canada every August.
God I love wack-a-mole archery 😩
I really enjoyed the purple legionaries lol
8:50 "Yes" ;)
Those two are brothers and they are so awesome! In the Thursday battle they had a string tied to an arrow and were "fishing" for archers!! they were also handing out bread and whisky coke sips lol!
@@TallianAdventures Haha, sounds great!
The whole event looks so fun! @@TallianAdventures
@paronzoda it's has been the beat week of my life every time I have gone! Thanks for watching and if you ever have the desire to go let me know and I can give you a few tips!
12:12 Love it 😂😂
Me too! That is one of my good friends named Wren! Did you notice how hard he got hit in the head by a guy with a sword! Lol way too hard!
Mill needs more! :D
uploading part 2 of about 5 today! and thats just the first Battle!!!!
This looks dope
Thank you! have you watched any of my other videos? Its my favorite place on earth!
@@TallianAdventures Forsure going to watch more later when I smoke 😂
@@robertsarmiento3874 Perfect idea! Imagine smoking out of a gandalf pipe just inside the elven forest with a group of elven ladies!! Its such a magical place!!
😂😂 too bad we can’t link up ! 😂
@robertsarmiento3874 what part of the world are you from?
If I go next year I’ll definitely be in my Roman gear so hopefully I can join up with those purple shields!!
Im sure you could join them on the line but unless you are in their guild i dont know if you can be in their ranks if that makes sense! Do you know if you will be going with a guild?
I wouldnt be in a guild i live way out in oregon
@@TallianAdventures
@@coolichka42 you don't have to live anywhere near your guild to be in it! My guild literally has two people from Europe. I recommend having a guild. You will have so much more fun with a group!
@@TallianAdventures oh okay! Had no idea just got into history 5 years ago and just this year decided to reenact. Where would I sign up?? For any guild! Doesn’t need to be Roman themed.
@coolichka42 that's awesome! So a great first timer option is a company called The Voyage North. They can be a bit expensive but they help with almost all of the logistics. You just get yourself and your stuff to Montreal airport and they bus you to and from the even which is 2.5 hours out of Montreal. They give you a food plan for amazing breakfast and Dinner. They will also provide medieval style tents and cots to sleep on. But the best part is they have a great community to answer questions and find friends in! If you go through them let them know I sent you!
Also merry 🎄
Merry christmas to you too!! Thanks for watching and enjoying!
How my grandpa described how he experienced school lunch back in his day
Plus he was fighting up hill both ways! lol
haha lol this is dorkery at its absolute pinnacle right here. Imma smoke some weed and watch this before i go to bed.
Thank you! I usually smoke before I edit lol! You should watch some of my later videos! I don't know why this one is doing so good but I think I have better ones! I hope you enjoy!
This looks like it would be so fun if it was done properly with actual formations and stuff
It still is incredibly fun! I do get what you are saying though!
This is just like Mordhau! They even got SPQR in there!
Thanks for watching! I need to play that game! I have never heard of it until you just brought it up!
In last battle, You most order your people to stand back and form the shield men to the front and the spear and the sword men support to the back to defend the archer and the archer will fire for the enemy
I wish i could! I wasnt in any sort of leadership position. Im hoping to be in a leadership position next year though.
Dam right flank got destroy 😮
Yes we did lol!
Is this still going on and where
@josephgarcia4120 this event happens every year in August for a week but they also have a lot of smaller events throughout the year. This place is called Bicolline and it is located a couple hours north east of Montreal Canada!
11:34 the guy who charged, his armour is awasome
Totally! They have some amazing armor at bicolline! I swear people spend thousands
I was there... just on the other side of the field
I might catch you a little later on!!! i walk the field in a later video!!
11:50 actually terrifying sight seeing that shield wall advancing with their spears
Right! Its such an amazing rush even when we get slaughtered lol!
That's my kinda party
this chivalry 3 gameplay is next level
How's the arrow situation work? If you're out of ammo is that just it, or are you picking up other people's arrows from the ground or.....?
Great question!! Anyone who want to be an archer must at least start the battle with 6 arrows. After that archers can pick up any arrow they can and shoot it back.
This is awsome af.😂😂😂
Thank you!!!!
Those romans are legendsssss
Agreed!
Is the event primarily in French or in English? I did French immersion in Ontario from high school through university, but after graduating a few years ago I lost quite a bit. I heard some guilds are exclusively Anglophone and some are exclusively Francophone. Do you know which guilds are which?
I would say that the majority of guilds are Francophone but 95% of people speak english. There are a lot more Anglophone guilds that are popping up also! Im sure a lot of your french would come back to you! Its a full week of hearing french lol!
in my head, high road by mastodon is playing. check out the music video to see what i mean.
That was awesome!! Thanks for telling me about it! Kinda reminds me of Role Models lol!
9:17 beautiful headshot
This fort defending and attacking seems to be very tactical and intense. Not that the others aren't. But in this situation, your defensive line breaking is a lot more obvious with the walls, imo. But I love this situation, especially with the small windows on the sides. forces everyone to really pay attention. speaking of keeping armor shiny in 'this weather' I'm assuming you are talking about the regular rain. If so, I was wondering how all of that leather armor holds up in the rain. Seems like A LOT of leather armor on the field. Is that one guys Dragon looking helm leather? it looks like it. it also looks like it could be 1k-1,200 too.
I agree! I love all the different battles but the fort ones are really a lot of fun and really tactical. A lot of armor is mild steel so it rusts easy in the rain or even just really humid areas unless its been treated with oil. I have actually never had a piece of leather armor so i have no idea how i holds up when wet. thats a good question though. That guy you see with the insane leather armor actually made that!!! I made most of my armor too but i use aluminum plate. I would bet his and my armor would be in the 1 to 2 k range though but im really not to sure.
imagine what a Roman would have thought looking at this
one day one day i'll do this and i'll be the happiest person ever
That was me like 7 years ago! I saw a RUclips video about bicolline and was hooked! You can make it happen!
For people who can't get enough out of games like World of Warcraft. 😁
Or from reading books like the witcher or lord of the rings!
from dark ages to late medieval costumes
This reminds me of Mordhau
This is awesome, may I ask what type of larp this is? I’m trying to figure out what my more “Realistic” larp weapons can participate in 😅
Thank you!!! This is a pretty unique Larp. It's basically a mix between a larp, a week long camping trip, a music festival and a ton of other stuff lol! I'm curious what brand of weapons you have? Most brands will pass safety checks at bicolline. If you have more specific questions I would love to answer if I am able to! I can give you tips on how to go to bico as well if you are interested!
2008 Role models…lol epic
Right! just on a bigger scale!! I really need to watch that movie again!!
The mistake they did was that they stood there in a mess while the enemy comparatively more working together easily flanked them. They focused on the main gate seeing that there are less enemies coming from front which easily means the others are either flanking or coming from the back. The enemy side did a good by coming together and crushing them. If they kept equal proportion of troops from all directions it would be more safe to handle. I know they did this for fun but I like to discuss and analyse military tactics that's why i wrote this nothing serious
I appreciate it! A few things that might be good to know! In this battle we were fairly outnumbered. We were defending the very far right of the fort. My guild was given the far right probably because we are fairly small and only have a couple tower shields!
Is this behind the scenes from the movie Role Models?
I wish LoL!!
I'm surprised we didn't get anyone doing a Leroy Jenkins
Lol!
11:36 the enemy on the left is incredibly menacing O:
I agree! He is super tall and that helm is incredible!
The guy using a two handed spear and large shield what a helmet
Which is ironic as he isn't wearing one😂
I think they should do away with the long jouster poles. not as appealing or fun battle dynamic.
Those are supposed to be spears lol. They do have some really nice professionally made ones that look amazing. I wish everyone had them but they are really expensive. They do let some really terrible looking ones onto the field though and it would be nice if everyone could afford the nice ones
