Bloke, Chap and Pascal take on the @varusteleka #remotemilitarymarch #remotemilitarymarch2021 in Switzerland, and use it as an excuse to talk about the context to the Battle of Murten (Schlacht bei Murten / Murtenschlacht / Bataille de Morat) 1476, an important battle in the Burgundian Wars, following a possible route of a Swiss peasant conscripted to fight with his pike or halberd in a Gewalthaufen formation. Fancy dress compulsory.
