Cool, I live in Paris and my parents are in Normandy, near the US cimeterry so feel free to contact me before coming!My sister is majoring in French, and she's heading over for a year of study, so it'll give me an excuse to head over and see the country, my sis, and of course take in some blood bowl.
(Especially if your sister's nice!!!! 
) .
No it's not.Hey is it true the french league uses some house rules, i heard wild animals also have to roll for bonehead as well?
It was just a rule that lasted only a few day on France bloodbowl, the site to play online. This only applied for those playing with javabowl, not even pbm. The problem was:they thought that WA was too good for BG and not negative enough. This has to do with the bashing tendency on the site. The argument was they could play everyturn and were casualties machines...This has been debated here but i didn't agree at all with that. On the contrary! I played a game against skavens with a RO. Four times, i surround his RO with dwarves with guard, twice his RO rolls a 1 when trying to block! 
Hence, my opponent could continue with no risk and scoring turn 8! Ok, it was pure luck for him but that helped him over the whole game. WA is bad enough if you know how to play them. But many people begin with javabowl. They're complete newbies who've never played for 'real' with figs. So, there are always many complains to change some rules. i think it's because they didn't have time enough to really appreciate how it's fixed up. Although, there are a few things to improve...like the kicking table! 
There's no unity. Most people play with the new rules but they adapt it a bit (applying some rules or not). 
Always seem to be a fair few Swedes and Finns on when I'm around, but that may be due in part to my timing. I think its more due to the wide availability of broadband over in this part of the world.Grumbledook wrote:Dunno can't speak for the whole of england but fumbbl is international and english isn't the most dominant nation by any means (numbers wise of course) and we play using the LRB as far as javabowl can at the moment.

He then said he was looking for a startegy game where you have control over where your players are positioned etc :/

Not sure, but I'm jealous as hell that he got over there.l_dauguet wrote:So the thing is I met a coach from Kansas at Nottingham...who was he?
I'm pretty anxious to go. I haven't traveled since I was in Germany three years ago. Well..I met a lot of people that weekend (and drunk copious amounts of alcohol while doing so...), so I expect I've forgotten a lot of faces and names..indeed there's some members here that I don't recall meeting at all...l_dauguet wrote: So the thing is I met a coach from Kansas at Nottingham...who was he?
