![]() ![]() Facing a full team of 11 I would have been happy with a draw, but Nuffle messed with me when my flesh golem caught the ball. I had other chances – a two dice block to free a wight to blitz the ball carrier failed, as did a GFI to surf late in the half, but I went in 1-0 down. It started well with a failed skink pickup, and if my blodge ghoul had made the 4+ pickup in my turn it would have been a very different game. With a tackle wight and sharpened claws, I was fairly happy with the racial match up, but sadly I only managed a single casualty all day, and it wasn’t in this game! The game was captured on the YouTube channel for Beer and Blood Bowl, so I might watch back once the dust has settled. Game 1 was against a league mate, Raging82, the Ireland team captain, my necro against his lizards. I’d taken the kids along in the first ever all-U16 Europen team, and they had a superbly enjoyable weekend as well. The Wales team did a brilliant job at the SWALEC stadium, home of Glamorgan cricket club, which was a fantastic venue with a free-flowing bar, superb AV equipment and a lovely atmosphere throughout with plenty of space to socialise. 3 wins would put me in contention for the stunty cup, though with experienced stunty coaches in Glowworm, Cornish and Hobnail, that’s not guaranteed either.Īnother Eurobowl in the bag – Scotland cap number 5, 10 years after cap number 1! A great weekend, with only the Blood Bowl performances being disappointing. So what to play for on Day 2? I have 12 casualties, as everything dead is counting, so will be looking to rack that up. ![]() Sad times! It got worse from there, finishing 6-2, after I got a couple of Doom Diver TDs but he got a lot more, obviously. Goblins were hard work, and became harder in Game 3 – High Elves with an Accurate/Strong Arm thrower! I killed 3 of them in turn 1, but then it went pear-shaped in turn 2 as his Tackle Blitzer killed my dodge that was supposed to be the corner of the cage, and then knocked down my blodge pogoer, popping the ball loose. AH was kind enough to offer me a few chances, so it finished 1-0. My chainsaw died on a thrown rock on the kick off, then I managed to wipe my fanatics out with each other on a double both down (there was a good reason!), so it was an uphill struggle. Game 2 was AngryHobbit’s Orcs with Ripper. Waaah! Should be plenty of opportunities for revenge though… So should I go in for the draw or push for the win? The win, of course! He got 3 elves back, so had to put them all on the LOS (below!), but a touchback ruined my fun, and I ended up losing. The second half was exciting, as I cleared the pitch by turn 5 – 6 KOs and 5 Casualties. Failed to score back, but managed to kill both Blitzers with my chainsaw, before the bribe failed (even with Fink’s reroll!) and he got sent off. ![]() Sadly, it only postponed the TD by a couple of turns. ![]() He received, and went for a fairly quick TD, but Diving Tackle did for him. Game 1 was against my younger son, Dementor, with Pro Elven Union (as I’m calling them nowadays). I went for 2 fanatics, chainsaw, and a piling on Troll, hoping to reduce numbers and then walk in some TDs. I also hadn’t tried out Gobbos with the Doom Diver, and I do like the Welsh habit of advertising previous stunty cup winners, so thought I would take on the challenge of being added to that illustrious roster.ġ6-0 to France at half time and it looked like I might have a successful weekend instead, but then a catalogue of French errors meant that the little guys made the trip across the (free!) bridge instead. After 82 NAF tournaments it’s always good to find a novel reason for choosing a race for a tournament, so for this one I made a bet with myself – if Wales beat France in the 6 Nations on Friday night, I would take Goblins, if not, then Chaos Dwarves. ![]()
