Hi, I'm Squiggy McSquigginton, I signed up to FUMBBL today and am just wandering round the website/forum trying to get a handle on the system used. Just thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm 34, from Manchester England, played Blood Bowl a LOT in the olden days of death Zone etc, kinda rusty and still learning the new rules and changes, but feel I need to scratch that BB itch, and frankly cyanide's game just doesn't do it for me...so, on the recommendation of a good friend, thought I'd sign up here.
I mostly play wood elves, humans, norse and orcs, though I've yet to make teams here barring a basic woodie team I threw together just so I could explore the client, get used to the gamefinder etc (thanks for the tips matey) and look forward to getting my head kicked in by many people in many new and interesting ways. Unsure as of yet where is best to start playing, but i thought a quick forum post and trawl of the site first was advisable, so here I am, and here I go. nice to meet y'all.

Welcome McSquigginton Very Happy

The clickable link in the opening post takes you to a welcome message full of info that should help. 145 club in league division is a decent place to start amongst other newer coaches and a few experienced ones.

Hi Squiggy, welcome Smile

With you being Manchester based, do you play table top at all? If so, I run a Manchester league (also on here). Drop me a pm if you'd like more info Smile

Back on topic, hope you enjoy FUMBBL Smile

Gamefinder aka New Coach Grinder!! The learning curve for this game is brutal. I am hoping at some point it will click but right now the only thing clicking are the loses piling up on my record!

Hello all. New coach here. Played the tabletop version back in the day. Now some of my friends are playing a league and I figured I'd brush up on my skills with fumbbl before venturing on to the miniature arena. The rules have changed since I played so I expect to make plenty of stupid decisions. Smile

New coach! Just saying hey. I did purchase BB2 so I'll be playing here and there as I try to get the ropes. Thanks for all the help! Loving the game and just hoping to get decent at it.

Hello! New player (both to FUMBBL and Blood Bowl) here. Made a human team for the 145 league and an orcs one for ranked. Hopefully I'll get better after a while.

Welcome all! Remember, it's a steep slope sometimes but you will get there. Even Rents is semi-ok at it now after many years of hard slog! Razz
