GORE GRAIL II :: And the winner is...

Better clarify what I meant there...

LRB rules apply for stuff like the apothecary, but PBEM rules apply for side step and shadowing (which we don't have any of, unless there's a pro elf team).

@ Darknova - You misunderstand. The LPL has a houserule that if you Apo a player, they go to the Reserves box, not back on the field. The standard PBeM rule is the same as Tabletop BB, in that if you heal a player, they go back prone to the square they started. If you need to move into/through that square, you should check with your oppo if they want to heal the player first.

cerebus just scored 1-0 ..

dwarves getting stuck is not funny when facing Ma8 ..

Wait just a minute. Let me clarify.

I am playing according to the LBR3.0. So placed the healed player back on the field. On which opponent commented I could not do that due to 'pbem' rules. So I asked in this thread, if we are playing these rules in the gore grail.

But now I understand that the are only used in "LPL" and it's not common. So I will not use those "LPL" rules.

But by now I'm causing a lot of confusion and I do not have the intention to flame my opponent.

So shall we forget about it ??

Btw. Ithilkir this may come as a shock to you but I am playing pro-elfs this tourney. And YES they need that apo badly

ok, seems I've been wrong since I've been playing PBeM

I thought it sounded feasible because in PBeM you need to limit the number of times you pass the file back and forth because it could take a day to come back (hence shadowing and sidestep)

theoretically everytime you broke armour you would have to ask about apoths (in tournament play I would use a Apoth on a stunned player, if I could score, or stop a score)

ok, not stunned because they would already be on the pitch, but you get what I mean.

but if I've been wrong then I'll adjust my play accordingly

pbem etiquette tends to be to leave CAS that you might want to Apo (hence your opponent will probably consider it) on the pitch, with a note to use their apo or to apply the injury. If the player might get in the way of play they should be removed with a note left as to where they were in case your opponent wants to apo and so return them to the pitch.

In a tournament scenario it is conceivable that a prone player might block a TD simply by being in the way in which case you might consider apoing a KO. Or even with a jump up player a stun so that they can act next turn. In either case common sense should be applied, put yourself in your opponents place, would you want a prone player left blocking a path? If yes then send the file back, if no play on to the end of your turn and point out the injury when you send the file back.

I have to agree with Al here, it seems the logical way to go.

As for the Grail

vs Levinas - dirty dancing dodging gobbos have an outside chance of stealing the ball (and an unlikely victory!?!?). 1-1 at the mo.

vs Duke Jan - he must be have lavishly covered in 'Uncle Andy's Unlucky Aftershave' before this game. The 'flings can't dodge and have had their number heavily reduced (4 cas + 1 fouled off and 3? in the KO box). CDs go 2-0 up next turn.

vs Orin - awaiting next turn.

vs Ziggi - the CDs got lucky once, but I feel he may well be on his way to a 1-0 lead in the next turn (or 2).

Cheers

3 games just about started now.

1-0 up against Inter Mithril, not sure my elves will survive another 14 turns vs dwarves though. Especially since they have the ref.

Kicked to Cerebus' Necros. Only played a turn each so far though.

Just setup to kick to Hangus' Lizzies - no krox so dodging shouldn't be too scary.

you would think that but i have just Si'd a catcher

Levinas · Post by **Levinas** » Thu Nov 18, 2004 10:25 am

Leipziger - you'll be pleaseed to hear that the Goblin who hoped to grab the ball and run for the endzone fell over

and KO'd himself

!

Better luck against the Emerald Dragons as a plucky goblin was thrown through the air and put in place to recieve a handoff for the TD... So it's 2-1 to the Flash there

but we've run out of rerolls and goblins are getting a bit thin on the ground too....

And Orin's orcs... well let's say that the dodge-blitz 2GFI combo from a troll was asking just a little much...

Hmm... it seems that I'm one of the slowest players in our group, but I actually have a valid excuse: I'm currently writing an essay for my studies. However, I have to hand it in by midnight, so from then on I'll be able to play a little faster

Studies

!

But....

THIS IS BLOOD BOWL BABY!!!!!!

We dont' need education, we just need spiky shoulder pads and a ball !

PowerTurtle · Post by **PowerTurtle** » Thu Nov 18, 2004 11:12 am

Tell that to my tutors...

Besides, the sooner I graduate the sooner I have all the time in the world to play Blood Bowl! Erm... never mind finding a job or course

Leipziger · Post by **Leipziger** » Thu Nov 18, 2004 11:25 am

Just skipped into a 1-0 lead against Ziggi's elves.

Levinas's goblins are turning out to be a tough bunch (Its now 9 plays 8!) and that game could still go either way.

Cheers

At least you are not calling yourself Turtle for nothing then!
