Deep in his mind he can hear the announcers. At first it is just mumbles and he cant understand. He starts to stir, his memory coming back.

That is when he hears the voices talking about the Grotty Little Trounament about to kick off in Altdorf....memories come flashing back, good times, a time that he wants to come back to.

Sounds, all around him, men and beast are yelling, daemons. His eyes slowly open up, it is dark, smell of tobacco and warpstone. The old smell of whiskey, beer and ale.

A familar voice, no, voices are talking. Once again talking about how to break out and return. Talk of Blood Bowl, return to glory and the challenge of a major.

His eyes open again...he scans around the dark tavern....


MILFORD WAKE THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!

I don't think there has been a major discussion thread for a good couple of years and (imo) majors have lost a little bit of their magic along the way. Whether that's down to a poor ruleset, familiarity amongst an aging playing base or Trump, I couldn't say. Though it's probably Trump...everything else is. Nice to see you (probably briefly) back.

The Blood Sea Buccaneers have decided they will die like men to get back to Altdorf and man the ship and make a break out attempt from Grotilex's Glare Lighthouse in the southern wastes.

As they leave the harbor they can see the corsairs of the evil prince already to pounce on them. It most likely will be a running battle all the way back against the ships of Chaos.

Will the Buccaneers make it in time?

Them thar Buccaneers looking a mite greenhorn.. best of luck!

I might take Dorf again 'cos we ran it close in the UI, and I feel they can bother the most powerful rosters. Grind out a tedious draw in normal time, and hope the opposition is reduced to dregs by Overtime!

I'd love to take IronGolems - Necro - but we will finish regular Season 2 first and develop them with a bit more Tackle & Guard. (not so easy to get games, just missed out in Box draw hence forum chattering)

Yea low tv humans, and they have to go into the Old Teams quali, will probably get a lot of inducments
But their star players are OK https://fumbbl.com/p/stars?for=Old+World+Classic at least

Season2 games in box, also yea it's not easy to get games when building for tourney sometimes

Iam starting to think you guys actually think that I think we might have a chance in the qualifier.

which is a strange thought in my mind.

Out of curiosity: how did the buccaneers shift from ranked to competitive?

Can I also shift my ranked teams to the competitive division, and if yes, how?

Under the "Edit" menu there is a "Migrate Team" option. If the team is ready.

Be careful what you wish for. Wink

Ahah yes that's my qualifier too, it's a bit stacked with tryhard coaches and the best possible result for the rest of us is that elyod goes through but after murker destroys his team

The replay is wild, one of the best major opening round matches I can remember
Dwarf B&C
Tree catching a bounce
Ball all over the place

That's the WE team that had a frankly unbelievable 24/3/1 unfrozen run in the first season (13) of IDT
They face wintergreen next who will be glad for all the absent elves
I'll then face the winner of their game. Apart from! I have to just* get past thoriin and yuri !


Forlorn qualis look stacked with Amazons, I blame baza and java
New quali III looks pretty stacked as well

Lots to play for
