[CaptainSplat!]

[Giraffe]

XMikeX No sorry Stuart, payment received with thanks...

[Lars Envengger]

Been on holidays this week, so I found time to make the payment

BTW I take the paypal charge on my paypal account. Simplier than the payment method described on thrudball payment website page ... And safer than waiting for Paypal fundback

Can't wait to be with you there!

[Giraffe]

changing the Subject Slightly...have any of you heard about a new game Mantic Games are working on called Dreadball?

See link

Dreadball

Looks INTERESTING...

trying to wangle a sneak preview at Thrudball if possible, hoping Mantic might let us have a nose at it...

LOVE the Human Team Concept Art, slightly "Tron"-ish...and the Board looks like it's got Pinball Machine type buffers ...

Cool!

[scs.sam]

Just paid (paypal email disturb.reality@gmail.com - not mine) because I am very disorganised. Will probably get lost on the way and just arrive at the last minute cos thats how I roll.

Entry number 45 , Sam.
I eat lots of food then trip at the top of a hill, thats how I roll...

Just a quick question about team selection, are we still bound by the 11 man before star players rule or does this:

2) You may only create experienced and veteran players (up to two skills per player). Must have in total >=11 players (including all Stars)

from the thrud page mean we can have 10 standard players and an actual star player (not just a skilled up player) on our roster?

[Giraffe]

Tom,
yes, that's right, ALL Stars (ones you've created, or the old Pro's like Morg) can count as part of your starting 11.

So if your Team Race is allowed 6 Stars (I.e. Vampires) you could (if you could afford it) have 5 normal players and 6 Stars.
ok?

To clarify Frank.....

i can give any number of players an additional skill on an Amazon team (as long as they are different) but only 3 players can have MORE than 1 additional skill, or just 3 players in total??

...and No, im not playing amazons before anyone asks...

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

Just 3 skilled players or a mix of skilled players and star players

Ie Bertha big fist and 2 skilled blitzers. Then the rest of the team will remain unskilled

Hope that helps gramps

[Giraffe]

Glow,
Jo is correct, three in total(for Amazons, sdee below for other races), including those you create AND the original LRB6 Stars...

Each star you create can have up to 2 skills, but:

you may not purchase the same combination of skills or stats on more than one player

Stars count towards your total of 11 players, so amazons could legally field 8 non stars and three stars.

Only one of each stat increase is allowed per team.

players with 2 skills must have at least one "Normal" skill (i.e. you cannot create a star with 2 Stat increases, a Stat and a double or Two Double Skills)

Cannot give players exceptional skills

Total number of Star players depends on your race:

Team Max. No. Star Players
Amazon 3
Chaos 6
Chaos Dwarf 4
Chaos Pact 5
Dark Elf 4
Dwarf 3
Goblins 6
Halflings 6
High Elf 5
Human 4
Khemri 5
Lizardmen 4
Necromantic 4
Norse 4
Nurgle 6
Ogres 6
Orc 4
Pro Elf 5
Skaven 4
Slaan 5
Undead 3
Underworld 5
Vampires 6
Wood Elf 3
ok?

[nazgob]

Frank, I put together some pictures for you. Do with them as you will...

[Glowworm]

That Turncoat troll is horrid..... I may have to bid on it to save anyone else having to find a place at the back of thier cabinet for it!!

just working on my "balls to the wall" Gobbo roster, if the halls the same layout as last year Ill be down by the bar and the door!!

[canteloup]

Great to see you at Crumb, Frank. Can't make thrud because of the distance and the fact I couldn't track down any accomodation in Bognor with a disabled wheel in shower, a wet room.

I shall try my best for next year by intergrating a short, long weekend, holiday in sunny Bognar and Thrud it up! First, however, I have to find accomodation with a suitable bathroom.

If any of you guys are staying in a hotel for Thrud, please could you ask if they have an accessable room with (most importantly) a wet room, that's a bathroom with a level access wheel in shower. I would really appreciate it.

[Hawk]

Hmmmm..... Do I take Woodies or Skaven?

The choice is harder then catching "snot in a net"
