Does anyone have a picture of Brian's Deathbowl board?
I'm trying to figure out a good way to do 4 way Blood Bowl and I wondered if Brian did one 15 row board intersect by a 14 or 16 square board. or completely did a design from scratch with 14 or 16 row board intersecting in both directions.
Any help on this is appreciated. Thanks.

| If this does not get answered before I get home tonight, then I will look for you. I have one built at home, but cannot recall it's dimensions off hand. |

Endzone to Endzone its 26 squares & each endzone is 14 squares wide.
I bought the 1st Death-Bowl table he built & it is here on my table.

Rod Thanks Rod.
That is the design from the BB Compendium #3 article ... so knowing that is helpful. Much appreicated.
I'll work up the design specs now for our felt guy based on this ... thanks again.

Rob ... anyone ... two more questions please.
Okay so this is the correct layout ... got that:
http://www.blood-bowl.net/BBMagArticles/Deathbowl.html
Where do the teams set up? In the sections sticking out? IE the article mentions setting up behind the thick black lines but the guy who coded this for my site failed to put them in. I assuming that this has to be the case ... but would like to confirm.
Also ... I'm assuming correctly that there are no wide zones in this board set up correct? (I'm guessing not as you all set up away from the middle.

There are normal wide zones at least at deathbowl IV there were.
So most people put their team in a defensive shell in the middle section. |

| You setup anywhere in "your" part of the board, i.e. in the "arms" of the cross. The Vlack parts on the outside are not accessible (that's where your dugouts are), but the black part in the middle is accessible, this is where the ball(s) is. |

oh, hang about. I think we got confused in the deathbowl stadium, as there are markers on the 'field' which seem to indicate lines which we used to mean there were wide zones, but it appears to not be the case.
These are the rules that Brian used (you need to scroll down a bit to get at the deathbowl section.

That link was just what I needed ... perfect. now I have what I was looking for:
So 14 x 26 in two directions with LOS at the outsticking parts and no Wide zones ... got it.
A marker around the center 4 squares as well would be good to show where the ball randomly goes.
I think that covers everything I need to know.

[EDIT]Comment Removed after realising I am an idiot :-þ [/EDIT]. Also, everytime I have played DB we always used the wide zones. Is there any reason not to use them? |

Yes, there are wide zone markers, 4 squares wide. The usual set-up rules apply. This keeps you from completely massing to swamp the player on your left when you move, or completlely blocking out the player on your right from moving in. This will also be a factor as usual for Blitz or Quick Snap rolls on Kick-Off.
The way Brian had drawn up the board (at least in the tourney book, and I think on the fields) the wide zone markers extend four squares past the LOS, and then cut in diagonally at a 45 degree angle for two squares, and connect to a box around the 4 center squares. This gives a nice look.
Cheers,
Maureen |

So based on that ... something that looked like this would be the way to go?
