Way of the Raven

Within the Ravens we have a tried and true method of fighting known as "windmilling in." We were trying to explain the nuances of this approach to one of our new members, when we realized it was was much easier to demonstrate it. The following instructional video does the job nicely

(caution, considerable profanity)

 

I have to admit to not being a Paul Kaye fan (better known for his roles as Dennis Pennis and Mike Strutter) but I do find "British Martial Arts" somewhat amusing and it did lead to the "windmilling approach" which, if you hadn't guessed, is basically running in and beating the living daylights out of the targets (tacticless tactics as it were). While its generally a bad idea, there are times it's very effective. I remember back in Burning Crusade days trying repeatedly to down the Black Stalker in Heroic Underbog and failing miserably. After 5 or six attempts at finessing the boss we decided, "charge in and windmill the sod, and if that doesn't work lets give up." Cue one dead boss.

Windmilling: For when coordination and finesse just aren't cutting it :)
