Many thanks to Harriet and Ian for another great weekend.

Apologies to Don_Vito, for almost getting a luck win whilst being no fun and hardly able to see the board as I was playing with a splitting headache!

Can't believe Dave get's the results on the NAF site so quickly!

A BIG thanks to Ian and Harriet for a fantastic tournament, this is one I definitely plan to come back to next year.

Though hopefully I can get away without being beaten by both 1st and 2nd place players on day 1 (they're not that skilled, they both got massive points from a chump

).

A big thanks to all my opponents, Lycos, Cheferoo, Lucifer, Ironjaw (6-1

), Schmee and Pgoo, for 6 very enjoyable games. I even managed to win two!

And thanks to Joemanji, for not turning out to be a serial killer when we roomed together

If he'd've gone 1/1/4 then it would've been done in a couple of months...

Fantastic week end ! Just a few things:
- I give again my best apologies to Petew for fielding 12 players for nearly a whole half

(at least now I know I need a few more if I want to win against him

)
- a big thanks to Joemanji for his advices for playing slanns (which were very useful later though I lost again

)
- and obviously, A HUGE BRAVO TO THE ORGANISATION !!!

And now, I'm proud to be the 8th slann player in the world !!!

Cheers everyone !

Had my first Poo (as it were

) at the weekend and really enjoyed it! Congratulations to Harriet and Ian on a great tournament. I certainly hope to Poo again in 2010! Congrats too, to all the prize winners from this year and last

Thanks to my opponents too, who made my debut with orcs such good fun

Game 1- Rodders (Chaos Dwarves) Lost 3-0 - who knew orc armour was so fragile

Game 2 - Valen (Chaos Pact) Lost 2-0 - Close game, but orc armour again didn't stand up to the test. Good fun though.

Game 3 - Sizzling Gromril (Halflings) Drew 2-2 - It is always a fun game vs Grom and I was delighted to see that I had drawn halflings

Imagine my surprise and dismay then, when I found myself 2-0 down after 1 turn of the second half and then we lost a turn to a riot

Thankfully, as the flings ran out of numbers, the orcs finally got their first TDs of the day and squeaked a draw.

Game 4 - Pug (Ogres) - Won 1-0 - This could so easily have been a draw! In the first I received and got frustrated with the grind on turn 6, so decided to go for a hand-off in order to break my blitzer away from the pack. Unfortunately, the action failed (even if I had rolled 3s, it would have failed, as I had forgotten it was pouring rain). Second half, the ball spent all of its time in the ogre half as neither team could pick it up. Then, on turn 14, the ball scattered into an Ogre's hands and he caught it

The draw looked like the best result possible, but after the Ogre fumbled his pass, the ball scattered to an orc lineman, who was able to get over the line on the last turn.

Game 5 - JohnnyKTOU (Slann) Draw 1-1 - Great game that I thought had slipped away after some leaping frog nonsense

stole the ball from me and ran in a TD against the kick. Second half was scrappier and the orcs began to wear down the numbers of the frogs. The orc thrower then came up trumps on turn 15, picking up the ball and passing to my open blitzer who ran in the equaliser.

Game 6 - Fluffy (Dark Elves) Won 2-1 - The elves went 1 up after two turns and that was as good as it got for them. Their numbers were severely depleted by the start of the second half and the orcs did not have that much difficulty securing the points. Fluffy ended up with 5 off the pitch in the dead/injured box (1 self-inflicted) and, on top of that, his luck was non-existent.

Humans are overpowered

Congrats to Lycos on such a close run tournie - in the end it came down to me scoring 1 TD overall as had I not then Lycos would have taken it on the tiebreaker!

Grats to the Stikkinses for another fine motion, The Don for his performance, and Valen, The Chosen Gobbo, Rodders, Grumbledook, Pigstar and Hudson for 6 great games. I have the video - the question is can anyone less teckhno-noob than me host it on Youtube???

I had a fantastic weekend, thanks to 6 great opponents for 6 brilliant games, and to Ian and Harriet for a super tournament. It was also nice to put some more names to faces.

Gut Charge final is here

Just in case anyone such as Kithor is wondering what the heck is going on in that video, Thats MattWhile (aka KingFu Panda) warming up, Valen running past to show him what its all about and then to the left, the awesome LoveMunkey.

And if you think he was acting when he hit the floor, oh no. He was sparko and the damage looked worse in real life, the camera tones it down.

Ironjaw · Post by **Ironjaw** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 5:47 pm

So did lovemunky win?

mattwhile · Post by **mattwhile** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 6:39 pm

No

Yeah, the opening managed to pick Matt enough bonus points in the 'style' category to clinch a win.
