Haven't ever play TR 100 without him so it will be interesting to see how much that record above related to having him on the LOS.

And my lack of skills last year wasn't nearly as important as the fact that my black block dice where incapable of rolling Pows or Pow/Skulls.

Thats good to hear! Deeproot is a beast to deal with in rookie games.

Block skill may have helped your Chaos cause...

Haven't checked over here in a few days, so:

a. sorry, Brian, I agree with Anthony - beer AND rerolls;
b. does anyone remember the name of the 'non American beer' place that Anthony mentioned over on NAF?;
c. I would put the better quality Ghiradelli chocolates from the West Coast equal with most European version but the best are still Belgian (I could swear there was once a German chocolate made in Kassel called "Pfunkt" or something similar. . .);
c. cold front has moved in here in Florida - it already down to 60 F - I'm glad I'm coming to Michigan

Look forward to seeing everyone again and to a great weekend of BB,

-OMM

I have to agree with you on point a.)

BUT I have to disagree with you on point c.) Ghiradelli is good, but I would consider it average compared to German, Belgian and Swiss chocolate. I have to assume that you are a friend of dark (bitter) chocolate, otherwise I can't explain why you think Belgian chocolate is the best. There is no doubt in my (German) mind, that SWISS chocolate is the best chocolate world wide! The yummy sweet (but not too sweet) taste of chocolate made with milk coming right form the cows in the Alp mountains....mmmmmmhhhh

Anyway.....I'll be in town tonight after 9pm and I see you guys tomorrw for a nice fun competition

I have about 1 kg (to annoy you non-metrics

) of sweets in my suitcase.

Right now in Chicago, heading off for Ann Arbor around 6 pm.

CYA!

1kg?!?!?!?! (translation for the US-Americans, aka non-metrics: roughly 2 pounds)
that's nothing....when I come back from Germany after Christmas I need an extra suitcase for sweets!!!

Can't wait to dig into the Troppi Frutti......by the way is there anything in the rules about doping by sweets?

See you tomorrow morning

Well sure wish I'd be able to get leave, however I discouvered the hard way that even Goblin COACHES are subject to the +1 to injury roll. (Torn disc in the left knee.) So sorry there will be no bloating of the casualties against MY team this year!

However next year is another matter...I have to prove that comeback in the last game was goblin skill.

The Canucks had better bring the trophey home again this year, otherwise I'll be very dissappointed in the TBBF's reps. Goes to show what can happen when they don't have a good stadium to play on!

Just returned home after the tourney. Tim (Chaos Dwarf) Finished first with a 5-0 record. Neil from Canada (Undead) finished second. I believe Tojurub (Dwarfs) finished 3rd, and Twist (Skaven) was 4th. Galak Won 2 games with his Halflings and lost the other 3 by only 1 point. I finished with a record of 3-2 but don't feel to bad about the losses as they were to Neil and Tim. Old Man Monkey finished highest of any US player, but I can't remember for sure what place that was 5 or 6.

Neo was an excellent host as always. I had a great time and look forward to next years Underworld Cup.

Just posted at NAF, so this will simply be a big shout of "Thank you" and "Well done" to Neo for not only hosting a wonderful tournament but being willing to engage the many public debates and discussions for 48 hours. You've great heart, JKL and lest we not say it enough, many thanks to you and all the BBRC for all that you do for the game we all enjoy.

Thanks too to all who were there - it was a great time and I look forward to seeing everyone again in a few short months.
