It was never ever easy to be a Central-European<br />
citizen. For thousands of years <strong>this</strong> part of Europe<br />
was the battlefield of eastern and western empires,<br />
always routed by advancing or withdrawing<br />
armies. But in between east and west there are<br />
some small but proud nations with thousands of<br />
years of glorious, and sometimes bloody history.<br />
All of these small nations have their own unique<br />
culture. They all learned how to survive the fall of<br />
great empires, and they all fought their fierce<br />
rebellions against dictatorships for their well<br />
earned freedom. Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech<br />
Republic are very different countries, but<br />
somehow the people resemble each other. Even if<br />
politicians sometimes try to build walls on the<br />
borders, these people always have the will break<br />
them down. Nowadays one of the tools in <strong>this</strong><br />
fight is the smoke of blackpowder<br />

friendships, and of course to decide who is the<br />
best shooter in the most important muzzeloading<br />
disciplines. The Euroliga (European League?)<br />
consists of 6 + 1 matches: 2 in Hungary, 2 in<br />
Czech Republic, 2 in Slovakia and the final in<br />
