I'm curious. If I make a custom board with the same grid pattern, <i.e. The same amount of grid squares width and length> . But making each grid square half an inch thicker then a normal bloodbowl grid square would this be allowed in an official NAF tournie? I Like to have a bit more space on the board then is usual on a Blood Bowl pitch. Also is there any problem in extending the blood bowl End Zones to make them a bit easier to flesh out with a Team name and logo? I'm only asking because looking at measurements it seems like big guys are a bit cramped on the game board at times. |

I can't see that it would be a problem, as long as you made a range ruler that was to the same scale as the regular is to a normal board. |

The range ruler and the fireball/lightning bolt templates are the only things that have to be taken into account if you want to resize the squares. If you keep them in scale, make the pitch lifesize for all I care |

Ask the national organiser. If I were hosting a tournament I would prefer only "official" pitches to be used - and I'd say you would need opponents consent (i.e. if they don't fancy it you can't use it). |

My take as an NTO would be that as long as it fits on the gaming table it's OK. Naturally it must have all the required templates in the correct scale too. |

So say I make it official size but just custom for my team? I'm a fam of the old foam boards because they had zome depth and why play with minatures on a flat piece of cardboard . |

The polystyrene board looked good, but was a biatch to stand your team on. Leaving aside the fact it had smaller squares it was way too easy to flatten most of the players on the field by knocking over just one. Or rolling dice (which were often cocked due to the sculpted squares) or nudging the table or breathing....
Playing on a flat piece of card is just soooo much easier. |

Yeah I guess it's nicer for minatures but it looked soo much better . I'm going with a flat field with the same size squares as the game board but with routed edges, done in wood flocked and painted in fabulous orky colors. Found all 7 of my old Blood bowl trolls < I want to say first edition but I believe it's second because first edition was card stock no?> and made up a decent little team with him as center/nose tackle . Also working on explanding stands and dugouts. |
