Side Note of personal pride. My brother Dennis Anders (he won last year's Chaos Cup) has now played in all 4 GenCon Bowls ... 19 games. He has never lost a game yet (only coach who can say this ... Wolfgang is 2nd with only losing 1 in 19 games). This year he was 3rd in game points after Wolfgang and next in line after Rachel for Most Valuable Coach.
Typo, Dennis won last years GenCon Bowl not the Chaos Cup. 
Thanks for running the tourney again this year Tom had a lot of fun, even though result wise it was my worst GenCon finish yet. Thanks to Chris and al of my opponets for helping to make it a fun weekend for me.
Hope to see some of you guys at the Chaos Cup, and Underworld. |

you guys know you won't get a response from Jay unless and until you call him "The Champ." 
He had a great tourney. He played Orcs and apparently could do no wrong. Well, that's how he explained it.  |

I hear he will be playing those same Orcs at the Mafia Massacre. He is your chance to beat the GenCon Champ.

Wolfgang's one loss so far at GenCon in 4 years came from Dennis Anders last year in the final/5th round when the ball bounced to a Saurus who caught it and ran it in for the tournament winning TD.

Jay played awesome. His strategy was fairly simple: beat the heck out of the other guy. Obviously, it worked.
His roster, as I recall, was something like this: 4 black orcs, 4 blitzers, troll, goblin, thrower, 2 rerolls. His 6 skills were: block on black orcs (x4), tackle on a blitzer, and strip ball on a blitzer.
He beat up my team, and I just didn't have enough players to stop the winning score. I've been finding bruises on my players ever since I got home... |

The Champ has decided to grace you all with a post.
(I couldn't resist one more "The Champ" saying.)
It was a great time at the tournament.
SolarFlare had my roster, skills and strategy pretty much perfectly.
All of my games were a lot of fun. All 5 opponents played their teams really well and save my 3rd round game, they were all hard fought battles. Alex (3rd round coach) played hard but the dice really wanted me to win that game. I think I threw 20 blocks at his saurus and got 18 pows. Most of the time he could only stand them back up.
The whole con was great. Even getting killed many times in "Engarde!".
Thanks to everyone for the great time. |

Great team name! I would love to see pics! Did you use the reaper wereshark as your Krox?

I also had a great time! All games, exept the first one, were really hard and challenging and my opponents know that two of the games i have won really luckily.
Congratulation to Jay! I think if we would have played against he would have beaten me too.
Thanks Tom for the organisation it was a wonderful tournament again! |

Well, my orcs finished 2 W, 2 T, and 1 L. I was finally able to get ahold of that elusive Austrian and actually played him to a tie. I will say this, I do believe he's one of the best players I've ever played against. Not only did he have some nice luck, but his tactics were very sound. Then I got to play Dennis (Tom's Bro), and a bit of nice rolls helped him along, and might I say I finally seen a Sauras successfully dodge, nice one there Dennis, as it blind sided me. The game was lost in turn 8 for me with double skullz, trying to knock a skink oobs. He played a terrific game, and I'm sure we will play again. I still have to work on my sportsmanship, as I tend to get mad when Nuffle disses me, nothing to any of my opponents, as I had 5 cool games. I do believe I will try something else next year, I have Norse or a return to my High Elves from year 1 Gen Con ( it was very sad ). If Dennis would like a shot with Orcs next Gen Con I will bring mine for him to use, as he stated he doesn't have any other teams to use, I'm sure I will change, it's just to what.
And finally Tom, thanx again you seem to bring the masses to game. Even females are flocking to your tables, keep up the good work, and I hope to see you in Chaos cup (if I can get vacation), otherwise next year @ GenCon. I noticed a lot of returning players, I hope they continue to return and bring friends.

Thanks for the laurel wreath! The game against you was one of the hardest and best. With a little more luck with your dice or a little bad luck with mine you would have won it! Thanks for the nice game, was a good experience! |
