As I said in my write up, I didn't feel that she offered a lot to my team so really didn't use her. She was there as a sub in case the number of Orcs got too low but aside from one instance where a couple of KO's refused to come back for a drive she spent the day in the reserves. I didn't feel she was game breaking in any way and I didn't mind facing her. Young Sann had a great time ST4 blitzing her against my Orc linemen to try and cause a CAS which he eventually did for his spot prize. It was a good idea to introduce her and had I taken Goblins or something similar I'm fairly certain I would have got more use from her.
I loved the 1.2m TV build. Would have loved it more with the option of taking a couple more skills but that's just me being greedy combined with being not very good with Orcs. Maybe I could have left Varag out and played a more conservative roster but where's the fun in that? I had 1 more RR than Rubick and he came second so I've only my poor coaching skills to blame really.
All-in-all, it was a great day and I really enjoyed it. I would certainly do it again. Thanks for organising it and thanks again to the Hungdonkeyman family for all they did on the day.
I loved the whole day even if I was flagging towards the tend. Kicking myself though . . . . I'd brought sound effects and used them for the first 2 games (Mooing for Daisy, Captain Pugwash for when my pirate named Ogres did well and Laurel and Hardy for the inevitable failures). The lunch break addled my thinking and I totally forgot about them for matches 3 and 4!
Daisy was great on my Ogre team, she scored all of my touchdowns I think!
My only comment would be that as she was part of them theme of the event . . . . I'd put in a rule where she has to be on the pitch. Seeing Daisy in the dug out was a poor show! Still easy for me to say when she improved my starting 11 !
The thing I most enjoyed was the fully stocked buscuit tin I found next to the tea urn oh and the really creamy milk, that was epic although having access to so many brews nearly lead me to piss my pants on more than one occasion
Daisy should have been a dirty player (cow)
Reason:''
I'm a British Freebooter, will play for any team including Undead (I have my own Apothecary). Good rates.

Oh, that reminds me of something else...
I was quite surprised we had 7 Stunty teams out of 30, for those that brought Stunties did Daisy's inclusion in the ruleset play a part in your decision to bring Stunties?

Time flies like an arrow, Fruit flies like a banana.
Daisy was a very nice touch and did get one CAS late on in a game, but she wasn't the reason for my team choice. I've been meaning to finish painting my goblins for a while and the ruleset did give them a bit of a leg up. The tourney was a massive incentive to get the team finished.
No issues with the rules or the venue - it was a bit chilly, but to be honest a hoodie and much Tea sorted that out nicely. Also, it was nicely timed - it fills the South West gap between the Welsh Open and ARBBL.

Nope. I really just wanted as many Side Stepping, annoying little gits, as possible, and Stunty Lizards was the best way
I was a bit surprised not to see more elves/skaven. Thought Daisy giving elves a free bench would have been of interest (i'd have probably run skaven if I hadnt sold them a month before!). For me Daisy was a zombie-like - there for when I needed someone additional to put the boot in or for defending OTT. I liked 1.2m and thought the lack of skills was a good trade off for more stars being involved. Would play again
