Winter Mayhem tournament rundown.

I have posted the pictures on Facebook in the Blood Bowl group. Was a lot of fun, ran smoothly, and noticing we could all probably have an intervention for our severe Blood Bowl addictions... but that is a post for another day.

My team:

Very close to the Dark Elf team I took to Spike! back in September. The team is here: http://bbloc.calgarygamers.net/index.ph ... obj_id=218



Round one VS Jack (sazooman)

Jack was running a crazy throwing stunty skink with Krox team. Jack had a rough run of luck with dice, and the game went my way with a 4-0 win.

Round two VS Josh (themalkman)

Josh trounced me with bashy skaven. It was BRUTAL. I would say more about this game but I lost my notes, think he beat me. Lets talk about something else. We had lunch, it was delightful.

Round three VS Chris (Coolice)

A great match, as it always is with Chris, that ended in a tie. I actually thought that Chris was going to win this game. His lizardman team was designed to deal with my elfs in pretty much every way.

Round four VS Mike (CrotchKicker)

Was a lot of fun, perhaps the most bloody match of the entire event. Not sure I have seen dark elfs tear into each other so fiercely. Most of the second half was played 4 on 4, but with a little luck and turn management I was able to win 2-0.

My record at the end, I thought, wasn't enough to win anything but Most TD's and I SQUAWKED when a different name was called. Was told to shush and was called for Second Place, my first Blood Bowl event trophy.



A HUGE THANK YOU again to Lair (innerdemon), great event that ran smooth. We are all nuts for playing four games all back to back with minimal breaks, I am sure interventions will happen but lets all bask in the glow of another great event from the BBLOC. No Josh I am not your valet until next Winter Mayhem and stop making out with my trophy
