Wappaw - The Phalanx

Wappaw

Wappaw is a small "rather good sized" NA clan dedicated to enjoying the Warband experience in our own unique way.  We are competitive, and are looking to enter "active in" the NA scrim circuit.


The Way of the Spear

Wappaw was founded many months decades ago by myself, KingLarryXVII and Crouse.  Shortly thereafter we determined that the spear was a terribly underutilized weapon for team-based combat, and began a crusade to learn the intricacies of its use and assemble a team of like-minded players.  Slowly and deliberately we have grown into a tight-knit group with a mastery of spear tactics on the battle server. 

With a couple (dozen) recent additions in recent weeks years we now officially consider competitive and on the market for scrims.

Wappaw recruitment is by invitation


Wappaw has a private forum on the POM forums, and will likely only use this page to communicate with other clans and set up scrims.

This is a rather paltry attempt at a clan description and I'll try fail to update it in the future, but I wanted to get something down as a landmark for Wappaw's slow crawl from obscurity to mainstream.

Edit: Updated a bit as required to be semi-accurate

Stomping on pub servers with spears- bravo. I'm sure it'll translate right over into immediate success on the competitive scene. Best of luck in the upcoming KBOOB etc.

Good luck with the clan. I agree that the spear is way to underestimated.

Good luck, have fun!

Sweet

Welcome to the forums Wappaw

O, Hasek. 

Mighty warriors with a fierce discipline. Many times have I readied my blade for the trials to come upon spotting three of you with your shields held high, shoulder to shoulder. Fight well Wappaws!

When I see you guys on a server I sign and prepare myself for a quick rage quit. Spears are powerful things.

Anyway, good luck with the clan and nice to see you on the forums.

I applaud your unnecessary hostility. 

Anyway, great to finally see a thread. I look forward to being repeatedly poked to death in the near future.

Thanks most of you for the warm welcome!

I tend to find myself saying "fffffffffffffff" to myself all the time as I am either trying to run from you guys or getting stabbed from 500 directions by spears. Either way fun times with you guys, GL

All hail the underestimated spear!

Glad to see I'm not the only one using the spear + shield combo. Nice to have you around! 

Spear spam in pubs? Sure.

Competitive scene? Negatron.

We'll see how it goes, and welcome to the forums, but if you guys are looking to compete in scrims while holding onto the grouped spear tactics, I think you're in for for a lot of losses. Are you going to adopt traditional scrimming doctrine or stick with your spears?

I would disagree. I've used spears quite effectively in scrims. It is all about teamwork. Sure you can downblock. But blocking isn't going to get any of them killed.

Warpaw and BkS should just scrim. Stop theorycrafting and start killing each other.

And you're a lonely twat.

Until Wappaw gets completely destroyed in a scrim. Which I personally doubt will happen, I intend to say I am correct.

A spear alone isnt that powerfull,more like a support weapon. Team up with another member,look for the right oppertunity and go stabby stabby 

Sup WAAAPAAAW 

Good luck with the clan.Have Fun!
