2014, it's how we roll

So come on then, let's get this up and running - after having the best record in 2011 and 2013 (we didn't record 2012), mainly because of my BB tournament results I fully expect at least Oli to powergame his way to the top of the tree, mainly by briniging in new games for people to lose at.

My gaming year starts this weekend at the Welsh Open, so if you get your results in now you can have an early lead!

Upto and including Speed my record is:


Simon 19/7/9
Win: Dreadball x10, Blood Bowl x8, Star Wars x1
Draw: Blood Bowl x6
Loss: Dreadball x3, Blood Bowl x5, Star Wars x1

However, expect to lose lots of Valhalla games soon as all my benches fail to leave the buildings a la Dave.

Haven't played for a few weeks, but all about to change with the start of the new DB league next week.

[Darkson (Simon)]

Ah, that's more like it - 2 games of DB, 2 losses! Lost to Ray in the league game, could have been whitewashed in two turns, then with a bit more luck either way could have been a whitewash for both of us at one point or another. Ended up losing 1-0. Then an exhibition vs Sven, and despite killing two of his players early on, and injuring another 2 had 3 bad turns with the ball, including 2 turns that cost me 6 actions, and unsurprisingly got whitewashed. Upside was he was a 31pt overdog, so I still got winnings, enough t replace the Guard Ray killed and get a card.

2 more games of DB. First up was a re-run of the game vs Sven, but an official league game. Went better for me, though not for Sven, as I killed 3 players (including 2 skilled Strikers), injured more and actually managed to score this time. Final score was a small win for me.
Then played Dave in an exhibition. Tried to keep my strikers on the bench, but had to bring them out in the end. Again, a small win for me, though I did lose a Striker, but have enough winnings to replace.

Thrud this weekend should drag my win rate back down though.


Simon 21/7/11
Win: Dreadball x12, Blood Bowl x8, Star Wars x1
Draw: Blood Bowl x6
Loss: Dreadball x5, Blood Bowl x5, Star Wars x1

No-one else bothering?

To be honest, hardly played any competitive games. No idea where I am!

[Darkson (Simon)]

Couldn't play an official game, so Dave and me both picked random teams and a random MVP for a pick-up game (using my cards). Dave got Orkx and Buzzcut, I got Locusts and Firewall. Was a good game - Buzzcut is an animal with 2+ST and Grizzled (means opponents lose a dice on a slam). Got a relatively 2pt early score, but couldn't add to it (mainly because of Buzzcut) and spent the rest of the game pretty much trying to stop the Gobbos from getting into scoring positions. In the end, Dave had a chance to win it on the last turn (after we'd finished the ARBBL tradition of talking about how we can make our opponent win ), but was unable to make the Strike.
Locusts seemed ok, the "Can't Feel A Thing" skill stopped 3 or 4 players being killed, but the strikers having skill 5, as opposed to the Jacks skill 4 made them hard work - I actually resorted to throwing the ball to Jacks to try to score!

Simon 25/9/12
Win: Dreadball x13, Blood Bowl x11, Star Wars x1
Draw: Blood Bowl x8
Loss: Dreadball x5, Blood Bowl x6, Star Wars x1

DB League game vs Pass, and despite the 50+ difference it was a close game. 2xHuman Guard, 1 Human Jack, Human Striker ad a Veer-myn Striker as Free Agents, and some really bad dice rolling from me at times meant I won 2-0, although Matt had a couple of bad turns near the end which put the game out of his reach before the last turn.
Then played Oli at Relics in a small practise game. We probably missed a (more than a) few rules, but it was a quick game, and looks like it will be fun - gonna sit down and have a read of the rulebook.

Simon 27/9/12
Win: Dreadball x14, Blood Bowl x11, Star Wars x1, Relics x1
Draw: Blood Bowl x9
Loss: Dreadball x5, Blood Bowl x6, Star Wars x1

I think I remember the gap between forums so....

Taken from old forum was the following,

Gary 8.5-4-6

Wins; Bloodbowl 0.5, Dreadball 8.
Draws; Bloodbowl 4.
Losses; Bloodbowl 2, Dreadball 4.

After this as far as I recall we went to crumb bowl where I had a 1-1-1, started new Dreadball league with 3 wins, lost 2 games of Kings of War against Oli and have drawn a game of bloodbowl against Dave and beat Oli!

There is what seems to be a long time between memories but I don't think I have been playing many competitive games. If anyone knows different please let me know.

Gary 13.5 - 6 - 9

Wins; Bloodbowl 2.5, Dreadball 11.
Draws; Bloodbowl 6.
Losses; Bloodbowl 3, Dreadball 4, KoW 2.

Speedbowl?

Got one loss to add to my list.
