ElfBall for 2010!!!

[The Painted Goblin]

Excellent - thanks Matt,

I'm about to buy the game and deciding what to buy at the same time, to keep P&P costs down.
Think I'll probably get the extra team cards, but will probably buy the 2 minute warning deck at a later date (after I've found some people to play against!)

[The Painted Goblin]

OK just placed the order *rubs hands*

How about running a tourney later in the year? That would get you a few opponents for a day.

[The Painted Goblin]

Hey, I'd be up for it

Well.....as soon as I've learned the rules properly

Edit:- quick poll - how many people would be up for it? I can ask down at Maelstrom if they'd let me book their gaming hall for a day - I'm sure they'd be up for it. It would be at Mansfield, Notts

If you want a game online man then just hit me or sann up and I would be keen to play again as the painting queue is getting thankfully shorter for the short term!

I'd be up for it if I'm free.

What are you up to tomorrow? The tournament in Bedford is about a 2 hour drive for you.

We have at least 2 complete novices playing and we're 1 short of an even number at the mo.

I'd not charge you the £10 for the day if you balance the numbers.

Can't make it I'm afraid - I'd already considered it but the timing isn't great

[mattwhile]

Depending on dates I'd also be interested.

Don't worry about being a novice, I've only had two proper games (both of which I lost ) and I'm attending the tourney tomorrow. It's a good way of getting to learn the game through four games in a short period of time.

Who are the novices?

Yep. PM, don't hit me

Depending on how late in the year (baby at beginning of August!). 3/4 of us from Swindon would probably pop along, and could probably encourage my Sheffield-based brother to make the trip.

I've downloaded vassal etc and had a quick go, so yes, sounds good - just need to set some time aside for it! I'm not much of a technology bod tho, and much prefer the roll of real dice to playing online!

[The Painted Goblin]

Right, I've got the green light on using Maelstroms gaming hall for an Elfball tournament - and it sounds like I can use it for free!

So....when is best for people? I'd like to avoid a weekend where BB tournaments are running (for obvious reasons), and probably not before mid september, so I have time to learn rules and paint teams etc! Can't really do it before August, Sann - their hall is pretty fully booked throughout the summer

Also, there's a chance this could become a regular feature.

Thoughts?

[mattwhile]

Fantastic news. As long as the dates are doable, I'll be there.

I meant not too soon after August - difficult to leave the wife with three when one of them is tiny!

Gav was talking about November for his (Manchester), so September is probably best. Have a look at the BB calendar (though this wouldn't affect the Swindon lot, I'm not doing any BB tourneys after Carrot until 2011.

Good man!

PS I think antipixi had a leftover card deck, if you wanted to get it off him at some point.

I thought Dave bought them.

If it's September, please avoid 18/19th, as I'll be at the Vault Bowl.
