I'd propably yell something like 'Musabetsu Kakuto Ryu'

and even so the other side most likely won't understand it....

It (hopefully) will distract it for a second, giving me the chance for a suprise-attack ;)

It's from my favorite, japanese, manga ranma nibunnoichi (ranma 1/2)

In the english version it's called: "Anything goes school of Martial Arts"

but I doubt that this is the best translation :p

Most likely sound imitating that of very big, very angry bear. Nothing intelligent anyway.

Althought I can't resist the idea of myself yelling "Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!" or similar stuff stolen from warhammer universe.

Or, being a finn I'd just yell "HAKKAA PÄÄLLE!", infamous warcry of finnish cavalry under swedish king whose name I forget... Harshly translated it means "Bash 'em!". The germans were very afraid of that particular warcry.

Enough rambling.

War cry for Tombo-Bill:

1. "So er.. which regiment wants to attack first?"

This is usually followed by a quick withdrawl.

2. "Did anyone tell you we are gay?"

All though this is obviously false, if the enemy is Religious, then usually they begin to rapidly flee from the battlefield.

Yelling while your sliding down a rope with a knife in your teeth usually isn't a great idea.

But afterwords, "Paybacks are a Motherfucker", spoken in a soft voice, usually suffices.

This is my personal one, although it is highly possible someone else also thought of it, as there are 6.000.000.000+ people in the world:

"Kill the men, rape the women, and sell their children in to slavery!"

I might even get a twofer and someone shrieks: "Don't pillage my village!" (clever rhyme, see, heh?)

But, I don't need a battle cry. When I battle with sticks or foam swords, I strip naked, bathe myslef in woad, and wrestle bears on a dewbejelwed field somewhere in Western Michigan before I charge at the enemy, screaming loudly and evoking the powers of the god(s), my privates dangling freely in the melee.

oh and as a serious (ish) answer, i think "For Victory!" would be good, but thats largely cos of the Bolt Thrower song with the same name, heh...

As daylight returns
The fires of hope still burn
Crawl through darkened light
Sickened by the mournful sight
Tears fall from eyes
Not sure what has been done
Sorrow creeps throughout my soul
All is lost, none have won

The battle smoke remains
Begin to feel the pain
Alone now stagger on
Unsure how it begun
Through time war previals
Thoughts fears cast aside
Face the consequence alone
With honour - valour - pride

As fire fills the sky
We once believed in life
Now time to die
...For Victory

Now in deaths glory
Mans final destiny
The final price to pay
...For Victory

"They shall not grow old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condem.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them."

My battlecry would either be "Gold, God and Glory!" if I was winning of "To the Last!" if losing.

Although if I'm laying the smackdown in any computer game, apparently its: "NEEP NEEP NEEP NEEP NEEP NEEP NEEP BOOM BIATCH!", the last bit obviously being when the enemy is in meaty chunks. I've never actually consciously said this, but according to witnesses many opponents have been shocked into helpless laughter and therefore met an otherwise unlikely defeat.

TIL BAR DAGA (no idea how it's spelled or what it means)

It's what the Celts shout when you order them into battle in the Age of Empires II -- Age of Kings computer game.


does anyone speak Gaelic... can someone please translate what (quasiphonetic spelling) "Til bar daga" means?

I don't know much Gaelic, as a mater of fact I only know three phrases.

"Pogmothone"
Kiss My ass.

"Go n-ithe an cat thú is go n-ithe an diabhal an cat"
May the cat eat you, and may the cat be eaten by the devil.

"Faugh A Ballagh"
Clear the way.

I'll be honest I've never used that one before, but it is cool. Of course the rhyme is lost in the translation.

Cookies if anyone knows where its from.

It's from the fantasy book I read just last week, but I just can't remember the name! Tenaka-dude collects an army to help drenai to beat half-beast monsters. You now what I'm talking about. The cookie, please :D


Anyways, I'd propably go with Lacho Calad - Drego Morn! Barúk Khazad, Khazad aimenú!, both from LOTR/Silmarillion. Cookiehunters, feel free to translate :p

(In my nation, we have very nice highways, with no speed limits or cops patrolling. Cars are armed, and armored, and heavy weapons training is included in driver's education courses. We let the drivers settle their own disputes. On average it makes people courteous and careful and safe, though there are incidents... However... fear the -tow trucks- such a nation would have.)

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Most likely sound imitating that of very big, very angry bear. Nothing intelligent anyway.

Althought I can't resist the idea of myself yelling "Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!" or similar stuff stolen from warhammer universe.

Or, being a finn I'd just yell "HAKKAA PÄÄLLE!", infamous warcry of finnish cavalry under swedish king whose name I forget... Harshly translated it means "Bash 'em!". The germans were very afraid of that particular warcry.

Enough rambling.

I was told that translated to "Hack them down!" It sounds much scarier like that.

*General screaming and cussing like homicidal maniacs*

If that doesn't make the enemy soldiers shit their pants, a couple-thousand-soldier-hoarde screaming for their blood I dunno what will.

I also came up with a speech to pump up my soldiers.

There may come a time, when the hearts of our countrymen fail, and our nation is plunged into chaos, disease, and death. But, it is not this day. There may be a time when all our allies desert us to a fate worse than death itself. But it is not this day! This is the day, when we all stand together and cry out in one voice 'We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight!' This is the day, where our armies destroy all in our path! Where we defend our lives, our friends, our freedoms, our COUNTRY!

Charge! Charge into battle heads held high and strong! Charge into battle without mercy or fear of the enemy! Charge.. TO VICTORYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

Hehe - close enough - I think the book you're thinking of is 'The King Beyond The Gate' by David Gemmel (good book). I myself was thinking of 'Legend' again by DG, and imo his best book to date. But yeah right author and world and nation - here's your cookie! *Hands cookie*

These have been tried before and sometimes worked (on a grand scale):

"Hurra!"
"Gott mit uns!"
"Gott will es!" (Deus lo vult)
"Für's Vaterland!" (We don't have a Mothercountry!)

...followed by a loud and long guttoral scream.

But it all depends, I'd say.

"Waaaaagh!" might work on a green-skinned day

"For Russ and the Emperor!" works very well when feeling wolfish.

(...)
''Blood for the Blood God!''
"...And skulls for His throne!" ...when it's blasphemer day!

"War is my Master; Death my Mistress!" is a very nice one as well although I'm not into pointy ears unless they're Vulcan...

"Brothers the battle is raging....choose your side"
"...Sing with us the Battle Hymns into Glory Ride!" (Yes! Thx, Hullepupp!!!)
Kill! Kill!
Kill! Kill!
Victory! Victory!
Victory! Victory!
Sound the charge, into glory ride!
Over the top of their vanquished pride!
By moonlight we ride,

Yeah, Manowar do good battlecries. ;)
Oh, they sure do! I'd be playing Manowar throughout the whole battle :D

Depends who I am supposed to be.
In computer games, my only consistent battle cry is if I am supposed to be Russian, in which case it is "AHH MOTHERLAND!"

It all depends on circumstances.

I voted for "For the Motherland" since that is the only one there I might use.

EDIT: I just remembered my ultimate battle cry.

"Yitgadal v'yitkadash sh'mei rabah..."
