Blood Bowl

[nadriel]

matgb got me playing my first game of Blood Bowl in ages. It may come as no surprise to anyone that knows me that I feileded an undead team, against his orcs
I won.

Now, this is moderately unusual in itself, although my tactic of knocking over players and then jumping on their heads until they were injured was quite effective. As was Mat's habit of screwing up dice rolls.

It's only when we got to the end of the first half (all we had time for), that we discovered, after counting the 4 injured/dead players and the 4 KO'd players of his, that he still had 4 remaining on the pitch. Which meant he'd actually fielded a team that had one too many players on the pitch. And still lost. Badly.

I shall now glee a little, at least until the next time he successfully one ups me :-)

I only have 1st edition rules, the ones based on WFB 2nd edition which had rules for either tackling or outright attacking other players. I did love the league rules in !st ed Death Zone tho, and Thrud available as a Star Player :-)

Rules for the current (Origins Award winning) version are here:

And current BB is all designed around league play and team advancement. Have many many spare figures for loan if you're interested. londonbloodbowl, one completely empty community...
