I get where JiP is coming from on that one - hell, I've had games with experienced BB players where we've both made mistakes about the statlines of little used Stars, now add in teams that aren't even freely available? I wouldn't want to have to spend a game repeatedly checking an opponent's phone to see the stat line of their players. And of course, they can print/write a roster out, but then I have no way of checking if it's correct or not.frogboy wrote:Your argument about them not being available to you is just daft tbh. Go to any other system and you will find that its the same, people who attend 40k tournaments don't buy all the books, if little Johnny turns up with his Orcs and Blood Bowl rule book out the box set and nothing else then that is fine. Its the same for you if you don't want to purchase the app and support Games Workshop then don't.
And BB isn't the same as 40k - BB has (since the late 90s) had all the teams available for all, whether you play them or not.
[And in the fairness of full disclosure, it's unlikely I can make Foul Bowl, as I'm due to be on holiday over that weekend, so it doesn't make a huge amount of difference to me, just my POV as a tournament goer (and TO).]
