40(something) yr old Anglo Italian.
Ltd Table Top experience - Arnd 12 games 96/97 (Death Zone Ed) but played a few tournaments since 2009.

NB: I'm a 'Thinker' & reserve the right to use my full turn. Games generally last around 90-100 minutes. I won't be rushed into making silly mistakes...

I'm quite capable of doing that on my own! :O)

Based on my FUMBBL die rolls; NUFFLE & The Dice Gods Do Not Appear To Like Me.....

HONOURS:

30 Oct 2009 WINNER 145 KO Cup XXXXI
DEATH BECOMES U2 v Chronic Propensity for Living

UNBEATEN SEMI FINALIST - 145 Rookie Cup LVII
Death Becomes U2 held a much more experienced Coach (180 games played V 20 games played) to a 2-2 Draw, after overtime.
Quite an achievement against the fast, dirty, cheating Skaven, whom we creamed on Casualties: 2/1/2 V 0/0/0!
Computer put Skaven into Final, which was never played & was awarded to Chronic Propensity for Living, whom i defeated in the following 145 KO Cup final! :O)

Worst Game Events To Date:

03/08/09 Nothing But Beastmen (Academy)
Played 1 Rookie Game V Rookie Necro (Boneyard Caretakers)
3 RIP & 1 SI (Miss Next Game): No Cas Caused!


Game Events:

Stalling.

Perfectly acceptable game tactic but, not for most of the Half!

Personally, I try to avoid doing it.
(unless provoked in to this tactic by my opponent)

To me it's verging on 'bad sportsmanship', as i would much rather give my opponent the chance to score back.
(I Would Genuinely Prefer to Have a Great Game & Draw; Than to Win a Closely Fought Match... & Vice Verse, Hate to Lose a Close Game to Damn Lucky Dice Rolls & a T16 Touch Down)

I will however delay a TD opportunity for 1 turn, if 2 GFI's are required & i have no/few re-rolls left &, if i'm in a defensible position.

NB: In Tournament Matches anything goes!


(I've borrowed & adapted the eloquent words below from Harvestmouse who has pretty much said what i think!)

Late team buys, Wizards & Star Players are all fair game (if the cash is sitting in the Treasury expect it to be spent!) as is crowd pushing and ltd tactical fouling.

I will however use discretion, as to when i surf (it all depends on how 'bashy' my opponents are) & fouling depends on how you're playing & how badly beaten up i'm getting!

Of course, if you, foul me, expect me to return the favour.


IN GAME EVENTS I HATE:

1) Picking up the ball.

Is it really that hard for AG3 Players to pick up the ball when there are no players within 10 squares of you?

2) Failed Go For It's

How hard is it to Roll 2+ to 'Go For It'?
& then, if u fail, to Roll 2+ with the Re-Roll?

& Why do players always manage to either Seriously Injure themselves or get themselves Killed on bad roll with a GFI.

3) Double Skulls or 2 X 'Both Down' (with No Block)

Why is it, that if you ever get a Skull/Both Down, Double Skull/Both Down or even Triple Skull/Both Down & burn a Re-Roll.....

You get exactly the same result with the Re-Roll & cause a Turnover?
