Summary:   What could be eating the cows? Our Heroes Madoc (David) - Human Friar of Manann [ Poseidon ] Hayley (Elliot) - Human Duelist Kormac (Michael) - Elven Sailor Zena (Oliver) - Insane Human Artillerist Rubinifer (Rob) - Human Outlaw Chief Chapter 89 ~ If you should go down to the farm tonight... Cpt Jameson returned to the Black Eagle with the offer of a new recruit for Morgan's Men.  An Elven sailor by the name of Kormac who, after fifty years of sailing the rivers of the Empire was looking to make a bit more coin hanging out with this famous mercenary company. It seemed the blow to Zena's head the previous day had scrambled her wits as she now thought she was in charge and started ordering people around and renamed the company the Zany Legends.  We now had two mercenary companies; although it was somewhat unclear who was in which band. The barkeep asked Hayley if she would help is sister.  It seemed some wild animal was attacking her cows.  The pay ...

Summary:  Loose ends cause a bother . Our Heroes Madoc (David) - Human Friar of Manann [ Poseidon ] Flendac (Kris) - Human Master Assassin Tayy Whitethorn (Michael) - Halfling Trainee Assassin  Zena (Oliver) - Human Artillerist Chapter 88 ~ Anyone remember the Skaven? Having sailed back home on Cpt Jameson barge we worked on sorting out Silavan's will.  Turned out are timing was perfect as Michael Stich was down from Nuln to do the same!  Flendac managed to convince him that he was part of the secret slaanesh cult and got the deeds to the docks without a fight. After that we went to see Dagmar to let her know Asterellion had put a bounty on her head.  We flatly refused to help her kill the War-dancers but when she offered us 5000 crowns to deal with the Skaven vermin we decided to give that a go. We knew there were too many for us to take them all out at once but thought we might be able to sneak around and deal with a few to reduce numbers.  Seeing a c...

Blood Bowl Redrafting  A quick guide for redrafting teams using TourPlay for League tracking When your team has been submitted to join the league you can see at the top of the screen a message saying the team is redrafting and all the players are greyed out with a warning triangle at the start. Your team value should show zero and your treasury be 1,300,000 gold.  If either of these are not the case then STOP and contact an admin before continuing with redrafting. When you select each player you are given the option of hiring them again.  You can see the cost to rehire, including agency fee, shown below the players value.  If you elect to Fire a player TourPlay will ask for confirmation but once you say yes that player is gone.  There is no way to bring them back! When you hire a player the system will roll to see if any Niggling Injuries are healed. Players cost an extra 20k to rehire for each previous season they have played.  If you rehire five players a...

Season 8 - Confectionery Conundrums (Halflings) The global pandemic resulted in an 18 month wait between Season seven and eight.  In fact by the time of started not only did we have a new commissioner but also a new rules set!  Having won last season I was forced to play a stunty team.  Halflings was my choice because they were newly painted.  It was a simple plan just take a low value team and hire Morg every game. It turned into a very close season with both the Panthers and myself finishing with a WDL 6-1-1.  First tie breaker was nett touchdowns (we both had 6); the second was total casualties meaning we squeezed into first place by the narrowest of margins! The Season Given the delays the new Deathzone book was out with expanded Mercenaries who were allowed during the league.  This changed my plans from just taking Morg as I could get three Mercs for about the same price.  In the end the rules are quite broken and give a power boost to weak ...
