Weav Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 What a great first league night for DeTour! I got to play vs @savion47, after his multi-year break from Blood Bowl. He played Gnomes, and it was my first time going against them. In the end, Grak just kept being a Bonehead, and his Treemen refused to move, giving my Elven Union an advantage. Thanks for the game, Shane, and thanks for the league and skill indicators, @jollyork! For round two, I will be unavailable on the next two league nights, FYI. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyork Posted May 29 Author Report Share Posted May 29 Live by the Big Guys, die by the Big Guys! Sorry, Shane, that's a helluva welcome-back from Nuffle. But it only gets better from that, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Trainer Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 @jollyork, huge thanks for hosting this league! Feels great to get games in again. As stated, first night was great fun. Good to see so many faces after so long. @Burk deserved the win, but my luck with dice got him and I pulled a draw. I will admit, pretty low odds for some of the rolls I succeeded on (for example, three 4+ dodges in a row, followed by two 2+ sprints, no problem...😁). Also grabbing a bouncing ball on a 6. Burk's Morg also proved to do very little most of the game (last 5 turns he started knocking dudes out). It must have been a Die by the Big guys night. I did learn I was much more accepting of putting guys are risk, knowing they would respawn (tournament rules), vs normal league progression. I might have been less (feed my Troll to Morg) feeling. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jollyork Posted May 31 Author Report Share Posted May 31 Yeah, I'm gonna post Round 1 results soon. The last Round 1 game is scheduled for next Tuesday. I am hoping to semi-Swiss-style the matchups, so matchups will be based on results. In other words, whenever you win you will have to play Burk. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may only select one additional skill per player. There is no restriction to skill duplication i.e. you may give several different players the same skill if you wish.

jollyork Posted June 12 Author Report Share Posted June 12 Results are in for Round 2. AttackCowboy leading the BLITZ of bash teams at the front of the pack. Can the coaches committed to the shiny baubles of the new Gnomes make a comeback? We'll find out in the next round when we go Down Unda' to Australia!

jollyork Posted June 12 Author Report Share Posted June 12 ROUND 3 - EUCALYPTUS BOWL (AUSTRALIA) We're going down unda to the land of kangaroos, Foster's, and the highest density of deadly animals per square mile kilometer. Besides watching out for venomous toadstools, PLEASE be extra cautious about the ruleset for this tournament. They already use a funky TV system and it has been evolving since the Gnomes and new Star Players were released, so I've linked the latest official Word Doc below. Coaches, please help each other out so we all understand these southern hemisphere rules correctly.
