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 :-)

WOW! Another Blood Bowl player! I really love that game. I myself am an ex-player but I know connexion is still running a league in Portugal which is pretty good considering most leagues die within a month or so! I myself used to field an Orc based team but this is going back to edition two, where mixed chaos was still available so obviously the thought of having all the top 'chaotic' races and abilities was too much of an opportunity to miss (yes even with the animosity rule). ; )

Undead are absolute BASTARDS in league games! With thier neverending amount of Star Player points that they really don't stop gaining, they really can be rather annoying teams to face if used by an experienced player.

You know, I own a bloodbowl vampire team. Complete with cheerleaders and starplayer and everything.
Bert owns _3_ bloodbowl teams (Scaven, Humans, Orcs), also with cheerleaders and starplayers and everything.
And we've NEVER played.

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 :-)
