Auld World Masters V, 18/05/19, Incom Games Cheltenham

[cornish]

Had great fun with some lovely opponents and good to see many of you after a little paternity break. Unfortunately my A game was left at home. In a safe. Where it was in no danger of even coming near me or my dice. My bearded boys were not keen to hurt anyone this week. I took 4 Mb and a MB deathroller to maximise the niggle fun. I made 6 casualties in 4 games. A little way short of fatboyslimmings 42.

We’ll done Andy and Dan for picking up Ali’s mantle and delivering a great event.

As you asked my only comment for rules feedback is the first skill choice oddity which you choose to remove yourself before ever using it. I understand the fluff but to make it more relevant let your opponent choose it game 1 & 3 rather than 2 & 4?

Also unfortunately the ruleset leaned me away from my beloved flings (they had been to AWM 1,2, 3 and 4). Not only was only one star player on offer (as usual); but the injury rule meant that by the last game my opponents would have (99% likely) removed block from one tree game 2 and both for game 4. Let alone the loner! It made them too difficult to compete for me. So a slight tweak there would be welcomed although recognise it didn’t stop a good number of players taking Stunty and some doing very well with them. So this may not be a consensus.

Oh and special mention to my inept runner who failed a critical pick up in game 3 and then two more of his efforts game 4. “Sure hands”? My deathroller could have done as good a job.

Over four games?!

What was he using to roll armour, D16s?!

[Loki]

He managed 17 in one game against a non-regening roster.

Got to get me some of those new Thrud dice!

Next highest was 19...

Did all cas count or is that purely blocking casualties?

Anyone got an awards rundown?

[sann0638]

Just blocking.

Dementor got U16 award
TheRake got best all linemen
Heartsbane best painted
I got most TDs (actually second)
Oscen got best back story

[20phoenix]

I assume most cas and stunty were allocated as per the table?

[sann0638]

Yup, and 1st and 2nd.

[TheVoiceofJericho]

Those standings aren't correct though. I won 3 Lost 1 so should be higher. 6th I think. I got 3/4 sponsorship too so narrowly missed out. Would have finished 2nd had I caused 2 more casualties. Ignoring the bonus points I believe I'd have finished 3rd.

That's a scan of the results Thor handed out at the end. You'll have to get him to amend the files if the scores have been entered incorrectly. So has someone else got a 'win' on there that they shouldn't have then?

If it was someone who had only been playing since 2008 then I might give them some sympathy. Have you considered having your eyes tested I hear macular degeneriation is a thing for OAPs

[sann0638]

Well I started in 1992!
