So proud!
My son started playing bloodbowl last year, aged 7. He's now 8, and has been to 6 tabletop tournies, and managed to finish at the NAFC with a 3/1/2 record, coming 65th out of 192 coaches!
He has been pestering me to let him loose on Fumbbl, and since now we have played a few [L] games, I let him try the Box!
He made lizzies, and his first game was against wood elves... (groan).
He got beaten 5-0 at the NAFC by woodies, and was out for revenge. Every turn blitzing wardancers, and then fouling them until they were both off the pitch! Opponent conceded.
Very proud Dad moment. My son managed to bludgeon woodies into conceding. He has a bright future!

Good stuff.
Whenever some kid starts smack-talkin' me on Dark Souls or Rocket League for being so terrible I tell him that,
"I'm eight years old and have one eye. Be proud of yourself for trashing me."
I'm very interested to know what your team strategy will be if one of the 'friendly' Germans ends up being the unfortunate Woodie coach in one of your son's matches.

Thanks guys. He's ThomasW (imaginative, I know).
He went 3/1/2 with lizzies, and the losses were against woodies, and a mirror with lizzies.
The real joke is that I finished 3/0/3, so he technically beat me!!!

Great job mate. I guess you're obsolete now? Lol

We all want our children to surpass us, but maybe not quite so soon.

He was playing on a table next to me second game (I think)
Did notice had really good grasp of the game and unsurprisingly decent person.
Every right to be proud :-)

There could be no prouder moment than your 8 year old son forcing a confession in first games on FUMBBL. \o/

well my son won a NAF tournament the other day... I am so looking forward to the BB scene in 5 years being dominated by mini-gorgoroth, sann and petews!

Congratulations, but forget not that pride is one of the seven deadly sins...http://www.deadlysins.com/pride/...the punishment for which is to be broken on a wheel in Hell! :0

Pride of your son playing competitively in a Blood Bowl tournament is worth the price, Gozer ;)
Well done, Pete.
*MY* son fouled an ogre with his Snow Troll in turn 2 of the last tournament he was in (ejected)... and was not really surprised when he was trashed the remainder of the game. Though he did tie for Most Casualties... which I denied him the trophy because it was my tourney ~8D ...Boy's gotta LEARN!
