I have a question about how many games we are playing and against whom (maybe it hasn't been decided yet..let me know)

from the begininf of this list, I understand that:

round 1:

4 Skavenblight (Skaven) = Gortex, Kid_Ego, Mad Jackal
vs
9 The Moot (Halflings) = Galak, Mempuff, Rotogar

Round 2:
4 Skavenblight (Skaven) = Gortex, Kid_Ego, Mad Jackal
vs
8 Ogre Country (Ogres) = Draco, Musta Surma, Valen

etc

So, in round 1, do I play each of the 3 halfing teams, or just one of them? If just one, how do we determine who we play (I'd like to play Galek, since I've never played him that I know of..but I know he's a great Fling coach, so maybe I don't want to play him ;)

Just hang on, no one is to play yet, we need to decide if we are going down this road first, it is likely this will be the case as posted in this thread, but just hang fire for a couple of hours, you will be free to play soon.

So, is this correct then?

Round 1: Darkson vs Thads (unskilled)

Round 2: Darkson vs. Galak (yikes!) (1 skill)

Round 3: Darkson vs. Draco (2 Skills)

Round 4: Darkson vs. Brokje (3 skills)

Round 5: Darkson vs. Duke Jan (4 skills)

If so, I can get my team sorted, and sent out.

I just sent the started game to Nazgit as I got his e-mail earlier with his team.

Valen, Ziggi and Snots all should be getting my team in the e-mail a few minutes ago.

Rotogar has a pm waiting for him to contact me....


Best of luck to everyone.

I think this will be exciting. (I'm already 2nd guessing my skill choices.)

Ok.. created 5 teams and sent the rosters to my opponents (probably a slightly bad thing..they can now possibly alter their skill picks based on what I took.. ;)

If I unstand it correctly, I'm to play:


Game 1 vs Galak 'Fling
Game 2 vs Draco Ogre
Game 3 vs Brokje Human
Game 4 vs Duke Jan Orc
Game 5 vs Thadrin Dwarf

(glad injuries reset after each game!)

One question arises for me to be sure.

The skills are fixed, right? I mean I would play this way, but I want to make sure that there is no one who takes his skills after every game new, i.e. playing against Norse in the 2nd round one chose Strip Ball, in the next game with 2 skills against Elves he use 2 Tackle instead if Strip ball and Tackle and so on.

How will the "skill procession" be documented?
Should we Pm you or do it on our own?


********************************
Regarding the draft I (Necros) will play:

No skill against Torg
1 Skill against Mempuff
2 Skill against Musta Surma
3 Skill against Dendron
4 Skill against Kithor
