(Sticky Please)
You know you liked it, so why not come over again?!?!
It's the fourth edition of the Four Nations Cup! To be held during ChaosLudik Gaming Convention, held at Longue-Pointe Army Base, 6560, Hochelaga Street, Montreal H1N 1X9, Building 154, (Metro Stations nearby: Langelier or Cadillac), on April 22nd and 23rd.
Popol le Bleu, the official wizard of the Ligue des Quatre Nations, never, and he means NEVER, gets tired of messing up your games, so he decided to put on another one! Hence, Four Nations Cup IV, where he plans to again wreck havoc on the pitch!
Here are the rules for this NAF sanctionned tourney:
- Five games of Blood Bowl, Swiss style, on two days and fun to remember all your life!
- CRP rules;
- All CRP teams, plus three additional approved teams for NAF play;
- Painted teams only (though no points for painting them... but who wants to play grey elves anyway?)
TEAM CREATION:
- 115 Starting TV, minimum of 11 players, Star players, Apo and skills (bought at regular price) allowed;
- No limitations on number of REGULAR skills per player (no doubles!!) at start of tourney (that means if you want a Mighty Blow, Piling On, Guard, Grab, Tackle human blitzer on your team, you can. But he needs to fit within 115 TV);
- This a resurrection tourney, but players value increase with skills;
- Inducements possible because of value increase (one game only played with inducements in the first two editions);
- Positively no overtime.
FOUR NATIONS CUP SPECIAL RULES:
***PLEASE NOTE THAT NAF RULES WILL BE USED FOR THE TOURNEY***
- Popol le Bleu, estranged wizard of the Four Nations League, is mad and wants to disturb the league's tourney, so he'll be available to each team for a single use throughout the tourney (meaning: everybody gets one use of a wizard whenever he wants during the tourney);
- After each game, each coach selects a player on his team, then rolls on the skill increase table;
TARDY RULE:
- If you arrive before the scheduled start time you will receive a small reward for each day
- Saturday will give you a skill change, usable after either one of the Saturday games (you thought Tackle would be usefull on that lineman but would rather go with Block instead? Go ahead!);
- Sunday will give you 2 free fan factors.

Congrats to Francois (1st) Loic (2nd) and Kolja (3rd) ... looks like there are some new kids in town, and they're good!!!
I blame Fred for a weekend of misery, he is the one who organized this soul crushing weekend. He must hate our guts. See you next year at 4 nations V!!!!!Stimme - Apr 23, 2017 - 07:42 PM Post subject:
If this is the Kolja I think he is, he is a rather old kid!Daggers - Apr 23, 2017 - 09:18 PM Post subject:
Yeah, seriously, like old TBBF warhorses are rising from the ashes to play on the pitch againSBG - Apr 24, 2017 - 12:24 PM Post subject:
He is the same Kolja! It was a great edition: out of the 8 players, 4 played the tourney for the first time.
Jean-François is new to BB and had only played on the computer before his first tabletop games last weekend. I thought this was great! He also won the Manuel-Leclerc Sportsmanship Award!
The tournament was held during Chaos Ludik, and it was a blast to have other game systems going on around us at the same time. I'm really tempted to keep the tournament on Spring dates to stick with them!
Thanks again to all attending!
