The Red Trophy - Cardiff, Wales - 28th July 2018

[sann0638]

I'm interested, but I havent played since 2nd edition. Just bought the new box and death zones, is there a complete list of what you do/ don't use in the tourney?

2nd edition? As in polystyrene board, first to 3, no block dice? Impressive if so, 2 weeks to get up to speed!

Here's a nice intro to tournament play: https://www.thenaf.net/2017/07/new-to-tournaments/

And I would humbly put forward my intro video to the 3rd ed game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DObbJOz ... JgOt29XfK9

Happy to answer any questions - are you going to be able to get games in beforehand? Where are you based?

Moved to St Athan, going to teach my ten year old daughter and use her as block-fodder. Lol

Is there any other point in having kids?

@Sockett77 loads of helpful coaches on the tournement sceen just let your opponents know your a bit rusty, i'm sure there will be plenty of help if needed.

You would be absolutely more than welcome, and thanks to Mike for pointing you in the right direction for the introduction to tournament play. However in the interest of honesty and fairness I would keep in mind this is a 4-game 1-dayer, which is a lot to cram in and means games will be more time pressured at certain points. The atmosphere will be as friendly and welcoming as ever on the Blood Bowl tournament scene, but you may find that your decision making is rushed sometimes and when you're just getting back into the game I understand if this may be stressful.

There's plenty of us local to Cardiff/Newport if you have a free evening before the tournament and fancy a couple of practice games as well to get you up to speed. And there's a tournament this Sunday in Newport if you want to pop along and get to know some of the locals or watch a game or 2

BUT WHAT DO YOU NEED TO BRING I HEAR YOU ASK?!?!?

Yeah it occurred to me that I hadn't specified, and although it's common practice in pretty much every tournament for people to bring their own boards, I was momentarily gripped with the paranoia that as I hadn't specified it, no one would.

So yeah.

Please bring boards.

My wife and I just stopped by to check out Firestorm Games...most impressive.

To be fair I lived in Cardiff for uni for 3 years and I never went, my first visit was for Foul Bowl last year and it's quality.

Imagine living 5 mins up the road from there

It's a great place, once you get past the punch of Geek Funk whilst walking in to the building on a hot afternoon

ps i might be along for this if late sign-ups are ok (prob only know by wednesday)

[sann0638]

Are Manicmechanic and Skab NAF members?

[cornish]

Paid up and coming along!

Hi there!

Even though I'm not participating, could it be possible to pop in and become a member of the NAF? If I read correctly, it costs a £5, right?

Cheers!

[sann0638]

Yep!
