PS Craig if you find a cable for a computer/camera hook up let me know......
If I have indeed lost my cable for my camera, do you think I can buy a new one without having to buy a new camera?

You could from the manufacturer or even a 3rd party supplier though the cost may be a little too much, another option would be to get a card reader. |

In the midst of everything going on and trying to make sure that I got done everything that I needed to, I realize now that there was someone who I needed to thank who did so much for the tourney and asks for so little in return (maybe just some alone time with my mom!)
But I would like to give a HUGE thanks to Eric for all the work he has done in making my (as well as many other) websites, but not only that he helped in re-designing and printing all of the pitch rules and rulebooks. I know many of you took these home with you ,a nd I hope that you enjoy them and continue to play with the special pitch rules in your own homes.
Eric really does deserve special recognition for his efforts - his over the top smack talking, the computer work, and probably most importantly - his ability to win spoon after spoon and still come back for more! Eric is a prince amongst the Blood Bowl community! 
Thank-you! |

| I'm quite interested in seeing the roster of Mr. Jones' winning Norse team. It might help me make my own team better. |

What really made the difference for "Mr. Jones" was the combination of Mighty Blow and Piling On for the blitzers. Being able to re-roll the injury rolls was HUGE! Then they would Jump Up the next turn and be on their way.
EDIT - I will look for his roster at home and let you know what else he took |

Two Blitzers with Piling On and Mighty Blow made the difference? Glen must have gotten really lucky with his rolls...
And no one was smart enough to foul those Blitzers every turn they were down? |

It doesn't sound like many people were on the pitch to effectively foul. 
Also, do you foul back and risk getting caught...thereby giving him an even greater numerical advantage? |

Some times the dice are hot and there is nothing you can do about it.
32 Casualties is pretty sick!
Looks like it a was a fun tourney, with an incredible turnout.
Grats Craig. |

Oh I did! I fouled the crap right out of him in the first game of the tourney! By then end of the game he had about four or five guys left on the field. Unfortunately I had even less! But then again I was playing goblins (with the aid of Morg n' Thorg and Ripper), but anyone that Morg and Ripper did not take off the field were treated to goblin bootleather! (The three bribes I also had aided to this end)! But alas, it was not enough - a very close game though! |

For the time I was able to watch Glen play, his positioning was excellent. Very few times was he forced to leave the blitzers exposed. Also with his Norse team on the attack (seems he plays good offence is best defence) you were forced to decide to commit forces to try and get a foul in... and leave much of the rest of your team exposed to attack.
He seemed more than willing to exchange block dice.. and was not in a hurry to move the ball, and go for blocks. A fast team that could put him in a hole early and force him to play ball seemed to be the best shot.. But hey.. Glen is a GOOD player.. its not just the team. |

Not only that, but when you did foul it was hard to get more than +2 on the foul (even with stunties) because (as you mentioned) of his tight defensive formations. As the game went on, and I reduced the number of players on the field it was easier to get more guys in on the fouls, but by then, I had few guys left to foul! |
