Is it possible that people not pick grey and black? I had a quick glance and really had to strain my eyes to see the difference in colour between units clearly.

Edit: In reference to the first match of the tournament.

Looking at the map there are a couple of key places where I think Sami can easily hold a chokepoint for a long time. I9 and I10, just in front of the city with a Mech and I12 and I13 on completely choke out any offense in the centre of the map. After that you can try to hold H1 and H2 in the South and you have three chokepoints that broadly govern your entire half of the map.

At that point, you're going to take a beating, but with a little luck your infantry can hold long enough for Long Range to become an actual factor in the game.

Although in this case I'd almost always favour taking Sturm/Von Bolt if that's your approach.

I'd like to see Adder get an upgrade of sorts. Like perhaps have a bar that runs xxXX since otherwise Sidewinder is just a much worse option than Sideslip.

Do you mind posting the bracket if you do, so those of us following the thread know which game is being played?

3 people haven't shown up for this game yet. I'm going to give it another 5 days or so, then I'm going to leave it open to anybody who's lost in the tournament to join in.


I might even take a slot myself if I feel like it.

Can the slot be for people who have been following the LP but tragically asked to play in the tournament a little too late?

I'm asking from a friend. :v:

I'll fight a boss...like a boss.

Edit: I'm also up for the team battle to hide my scrubbiness.

In that case, I'll take that opportunity to open the team game. Password is "goons" again. There's one CO I kind of wanted to give a shot but never did.

Together we will be team Blood Bowl.

I'm imagining the four of us all having picked Drake right now, and it's weirdly appealing. A full blown Typhoon assault would mean leaving every enemy unit with 2 HP and ~6% of their fuel. That's loving devastating, but also leaves you really open regarding everything that isn't the full blown SCOP assault. It's such a specific thing that I can't really imagine the implications for the rest of the game.

You'd do it with Hawke. He has less downside risk because his Day to Day is stronger and the Super COP assault would cause nearly every one of your units to be on full HP at the end of a turn where you reduce the opponent's HP to 2.

As is the Free For All, No Fog. Very enjoyable matches!

I'm going to reserve my comments about the team game until after it's shown :D
