First post on BB forum
I have just got hold of a copy of the 4th Edition BB, the one that comes with DZ in the box. I haven't played BB for ages, well not since Edition 1, so I have a lot of catching up to do especially as I sold the old BB years ago. I also haven't painted a figure in an equally long time either.
I do have a few questions.
1) In the box errata for DZ it mentions pdf versions of the fireball template etc being on the BB web site, but I can't find it for love nor money. Does the fabled pdf file exist?
2) Having seen the cards you get with the 3rd Edition of DZ for random events etc, are the omission of them in BV v4 a good enough reason to track down a separate copy of DZ?
3) Unfortuantely I don't have anyone nearby/local to play against? Do they have BB evenings in GW stores or am I being a little naive?
Look forward to hearing from you.

1) No idea. We just generally use a 3*3 area.woodmeister wrote: 1) In the box errata for DZ it mentions pdf versions of the fireball template etc being on the BB web site, but I can't find it for love nor money. Does the fabled pdf file exist?

2) Cards are now obsolete. There was a lot of ambiguity about certain cards anyway. Some people miss them, I don't.
3) Whereabouts in London are you? You could always try the ECBBL. Standard's pretty high though.

Lastly, I suggest you download the LRB. Easier than using the handbook, DZ and the errata. And welcome to TBB!

Thanks Deathwing. Just working on teaching my 10 y.o. the rules at the min, he's dead keen. We'll probably join a league when we can:
a) find one
b) get our teams painted.
While I'm in the newbie forum, let's get the embarrassing question out of the way first. Re rolling to injure someone who has fallen over, the rules say to "beat" the AV. I'm used to the GW wording of greater than, or equal to or greater than. What's the intent here? Against someone with AV7, do I need to role 7 or 8 to make the injury roll.
A pre-emptive at my newbieness.

You're welcome to head on down to the ECBBL on a tuesday night. We've got a few people playing in our open season (nothing on the line but your pride) and it's not too hard to get pickup games.
We're not nearly as good as Deathwing makes out. In fact we're mostly crap and get by on luck, getting the opponent maggotted (cf: Andy's infamous "tequila rule"), or both.

He's right there. I only came here to find out what was happening in the Future of BB and to try and find some local tabletoppers. Now I'm a Star Player and about to embark on PBeM for the 1st time .Torg wrote:Welcome, newbie! You will find this forum gets quite addictive.
