Well another Spike! come and gone, and once more it never fails to entertain!
Kavinay and I had a great chat before the "Real Finals" at the table there.  We knew it would all come down to which one the Horned Rat Favoured to win it all, and yes for once the Weather Gods smiled and allowed pleasing weather all game. (For the Record, Game One: Pissing Rain all game. Game Two: Pissing Blizzard on the opening kick-off. Game Three: Mothersmurfing Blizzard all game. Game Four...starts promising, but Kick-off two and Blazing Sun. Oh and Game Six? 2nd half we're back to Blazing Sun again. So clearly it was NOT meant for me to be an End-zone hog this year.)
And that 1st half that really wasn't Kavinay playing well, in fact it looked like he was going to go down in a game where nothing was going to plan for either team. Took his fellow Skaven to tell him to "Start making luck and acting like a Skaven" for that game to finally go the way it did. Kudos!
And...his final match? Hehe, who says skaven clans don't talk? "Best scouting report EVAH!" Almost makes one wish he hadn't ran into to me in game three, might have been a whole different final result.
Another top six finish...if da Scum aren't in the running, it ain't a Spike!
Now if they'd hurry up and actually fix the Tournament Goblin rules, we can finally see what we've all wanted, a Tier three team taking it all. (which is why World cup teams should be forced to take one along.)
Our hosts as always are a blast, and once more the players are a driving reason we keep coming out, either well loved and despised opponents; one of whom I threw his dice for him when they kept betraying him; to even just people we dream of some day having that perfect match up against. Spike! is alive and well in British Columbia! (Take that foul Battle Bunker, and where's our trophy you frakkers!)
Now to give this Underworld team a gander...  |

FYI the Battle Bunker is no more, as is GW Canada. They dissoved the whole thing and have made it a North American operation that is based out of the States. |

I think Dave's comment was more of a 'look at what's been done without any support from the parent company' rather than an attack on anything currently existing in Oakville. Nobody is aware more than us Craig that GW Canada is no more, and we have the zero-poster support and the bungled lost trophy to prove it.
Btw - do the Trolls still exist in Canada Craig? Dave was thinking that they might still be in the old Oakville head office. Anybody know for sure? It would be a little distressing to think that the Spike! Trophy never in fact left Canada and it's been sitting there all along right under our noses, but to my knowledge it's the last place to look if the Trolls in fact still exist in Oakville. Any info you or other Easterners have as to what in fact remained from GW Canada would be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks in advance,
Craig. |

Thanks Craig. That's one less theory we needed to explore resolved. After 18 months of searching from everybody up to Jervis Johnson we can finally put this search to bed and resolve that the Spike! trophy is lost for good. C'est la vie.
Now begins the process of reforging the Spike! Magazine Trophy. Making it look identical to the original without the original mold will be difficult, but certainly not impossible. Note that this new Trophy will look like the copper/brass original, only much larger so the trophy can be held or worn.
Tracking down the original mold would be a task solved only by the older NAFers from the UK. The trophy was originally made there, and they are the only members that go back far enough to possibly remember. Dave? Simon? James (DW)? |
