Chainsaw Plus Mighty Blow?
Let me lay out the rules I looked at and then post the question, so you all know I tried to find this on my own.

Add 1 to any Armour or Injury roll made by a player with this skill when an opponent is Knocked Down by this player during a block. Note that you only modify one of the dice rolls, so if you decide to use Mighty Blow to modify the Armour roll, you may not modify the Injury roll as well. ***Mighty Blow cannot be used with the Stab or Chainsaw skills.***

Chainsaw says NOTHING about MB under itself.

I recently played a game where I blitzed a chainsaw, got a 3 and a 1 for the dice and the +3 chainsaw did not break. But my tree had mighty blow. Should I not be able to apply MB to that AV roll?

I think I should because my player is not the one USING the chainsaw so Im not actually combining it with anything. OR are the rules interpretted to say as the attacker, I am using the opps chainsaw for a +3 so I cannot use my mb with it?

I'm sorry
unfortunately I won't be able to get back online properly until the 10th May, when I'll get out of the hospital.
so, to everyone who has business with one of my teams, I guess I'll have to forfeit.
Take care, drink enough water, avoid ultra-processed foods and unnecessary salt.
see you there

Two weeks in April...
Springtime in the northern hemisphere. Everything is growing and starting to bloom. A new beginning in nature... So why not do something new in BB as well?

As I wrote in my prior post, I finished the ‘all Elf BBT run’ beginning of April and enrolled to the Elven Union and Necromantic Horror XLF as well as to the O[L]C Lightweight Championship.

Since I did not have too much experience with (scheduled) tournaments, this was a bit too much at once and I needed to face the consequences. I did not find the time to schedule all three round one games without risking to tear the deadline and thus decided to drop from the Elven Union XLF in time to prevent a delay for the whole tournament. While I knew this meant one less game for my opponent (Sorry Solaris!), I thought open and timely communication may be more important than sticking to the tournament (even if Elven Union is one of my favourite rosters!) as long as possible and creating a delay for the rest of the coaches.

And very soon I experienced the other side of the coin in the second XLF. I completed my round 1 match two days before the communicated deadline on April 9th. Unfortunately, the other two coaches could not agree upon a time for their match, and I needed to wait till April 14th for the coinflip decision on who would be my opponent in round 2, only to wait another 4 days for the forwarded coach to communicate that he will not play our match. I do not want to judge this, because I do not know the underlying reasons. Just wanted to bring this up as an example what can happen in a tournament as well. So, I played only one match, et voila I face Java in the final.

Compared to that the O[L]C Lightweight went as intended. All games were played! And with the help of Nuffle I was able to win the cup with the ‘Sisters of the Lake’ (Avelorn).

To fill the free slots that open spontaneously and cannot be filled with scheduled tournament or league games, I decided to try Norse. After all that Elven rosters - which I still love - a bit more bashing. WaffleIron convinced me with some of his comments in the 145 Discord channel that they may be fun and so I gave them a go. Without any real intention. But after 8 games and a record of 7/0/1, I may try to win the remaining 4 matches (one win not counting towards the IDT score because I messed up the first match and did not play it in the blackbox) to earn the IDT Norse badge... If time and Nuffle allows!

So, here we are 8 days left in the season. Having won my first ever tournament, facing the legend Java in another final, one of the IDT badges within reach and still hoping for a lucky slot in the Steel Gauntlet... Two weeks in April can really mean some changes!

Cheers,
Chris


EDIT I: I wrote about the patience I needed during the scheduled XLF, but this can also happen in a blackbox or Gamefinder match. I think the Disconnection procedure is very good and if all coaches act in good faith and understand/respect the coach on the other side of the line there should be no problems. But sometimes things happen that ask for some patience... even more that close to the end of the season.

Blitz 'Dem - GDR Edition #2; Issue #1


'Blitz 'Dem', the preeminent periodical for all things Blood Bowl, having been published by diligent grotz since 1964 IC, brings you the key facts from the opening Gameweek of the inaugural season of the Greenskins Draft Rumble.

= GAMEWEEK 1 ROUND-UP =
The second season of the Greenskins Draft Rumble has commenced with plenty of new faces and new franchises competing for the title. And the opening week was just as stunning as the end of the previous season!

= STAR PLAYER POINTS =
There were five players who recorded more than 5 SPP:

6 SPP - Wrath (Iron Crag Claws); Orzog Shugdurbam (Nordland Skullsmasherz); Hazel Nuts (Grom Peak Scrappers)
7 SPP - Moose Groinstamp (Drakwald 'Ardboyz); Dazlug Mudshredda (Altdorf Bloodhounds)

= CASUALTIES =
Not one player managed to inflict more than 1 casualty, which is, on one hand, a sorry state of affairs. On the other, it's nice to see that responsibility being shared across the team.

= BLOCKS =
Seven players delivered 10+ blocks in their games. This suggests some teams are using one heavy hitter and avoiding being in contact with too many opponents.

11 blocks - Ruk Toegrinder (Karak Norn Crusherz); Leg Snapper (Iron Crag Clawz); Head Stompa (Iron Crag Clawz)
12 blocks - Ghazghkull Thraka (Drakwald 'Ardboyz); Arm Snapper (Averland Bat-Squigs); Dakkul Beastmaw; Grotz Eargrinda (both Nordland Skullsmasherz)

= TOUCHDOWNS =
Two players laid down a marker on the scoring charts in Gameweek 1 - Hazel Nuts became the first player to score for two separate franchises! In Season I, he crossed the line 3 times in 3 games for the Badlands Black Feathers, before falling out with the coach and being let go. This Season, for the Grom Peak Scrappers, he scored twice in their opening game. Orzog Shugdurbam scored 2 touchdowns in 2 matches for the Nordland Skullsmasherz and repeated the feat for the third time against Champions Cup holders, Karaz Azgaraz Fanatics.

2 touchdowns - Orzog Shugdurbam (Nordland Skullsmasherz); Hazel Nuts (Grom Peak Scrappers)

= FOULS =
A tentative start here, with just three players committing more than 2 fouls. However, it is worth noting that Mudspitta of the Skullsmasherz managed to kill record SPP scorer and Season I MVP runner-up Journey Ruth. It is bravery and guile like that which will make Mudspitta a legends (or villain) in the annals of the league.

2 fouls - Madelyn Pierce (Karak Norn Crusherz); Borgu Flingbone; Slugg Bonekrakka (both Dragonback Squigs)
3 fouls - Skabzit Mudspitta (Nordland Skullsmasherz)

= RUSHING YARDS =
Eight players surpassed 30 rushing yards in one game, with two setting new league records! Orzog Shugdurbam must have thought he would have eclipsed the 41 yard record set by himself last season, only for Dazlugg Mudshredda of the Bloodhounds to achieve an incredible 50 yards! Well done, that man.

23 yards - Hazel Nuts (Grom Peak Scrappers)
24 yards - Durg Nightfang (Averland Bat-Squigs)
37 yards - Miranda Slender (Tilean Sea Piratz)
44 yards - Orzog Shugdurbam (Nordland Skullsmasherz)
50 yards - Dazlugg Mudshredda (Altdorf Bloodhounds)

= PASSING YARDS =
A single-digit trend continues, with nobody looking likely to surpass the 8 yard record set last season.

3 yards - Grunk Gorefang (Karak Azgaraz Fanatics); Karson Barbo (Karak Norn Crusherz)


= AWARD WINNERS =
Each Gameweek, there will be awards for some notable players and coaches:

MVP
Orzog Shugdurbam has to be pleased with himself. Briefly, increasing his own record for Rushing Yards. Scoring twice in a crucial season opener which saw his Skullsmasherz gain revenge over the Fanatics. All that whilst avoiding a revved up Fanatics, looking for physical retribution for the loss of their own iconic star. Powerful stuff in GW1.

Golden Clipboard
TheRedoubt (Altdorf Bloodhounds)
Coach Redoubt made a strong start to his GDR career with a statement win over the Mount Gunbad Big 'Uns, who are led by the experienced Kozilek. The Bloodhounds managed to win despite conceding in T4 and playing much of the first half with 10 men, after losing Skorhag Facewhakka in T5, but scored in T8 and T16 to see off the threat of the Big 'Uns.

Best Result
d4bbl3z (Grom Peak Scrappers)
MATCHSCORESCORERS
Drakwald 'Ardboyz1'Moose' Groinstamp
Grom Peak Scrappers2Hazel Nuts x2
A strong start for the Scrappers with an opening day win over the Super Shield winners. The Scrappers suffered 2 KOs and a T8 touchdown before earning their own pair of knock-outs and a T14 equaliser. The 'Ardboyz fluffed their lines and Hazel Nuts ran in a clutch buzzer-beater in T17! The 'Ardboyz can take heart from the violence inflicted on their opponents but will rue the way they failed to see out the game.
= IN MEMORIAM =
For every winner, there must be a loser and, to give them their (final) moment in the limelight, we recognise those players who left us this week:

‣ Journey Ruth (Karak Azgaraz Fanatics) - the Nordland Skullsmasherz got their revenge for their defeat in last season Champions Cup Final by eliminating the Fanatics' star Blitzer, a game in which Ruth scored. One of the biggest losses to the league and a blow to the Fanatics hopes of retaining their title.
‣ Carson Moira (Bretonnia Brutes) - the Blitzer committed one block and one foul and then was permanently retired.
‣ Skorhag Facewhakka (Altdorf Bloodhounds) - a rookie Blitzer and the last player to join the roster. Also, the first to leave it.

20 Year Anniversary

I'd like to send a masive, massive thank you so much to Christer and all the Devs, Staff, Helpers, Commishes, Coaches and all who have made this such a great place over the years.
