Splendid stuff! =) Now I’m considering talk of future Blood Bowl games more of a threat than a promise of a fun past-time! =D

Well that gaming performance was five by five! Well done champ. I will wager heavily (in terms of lead) on you in the next one. Paul B did well to score the runner up (but I won’t be betting on him natch). That’s a much better prize than the usual “twenty quids worth of our crap” prizes.

Did you bring the purple cat coach, I suspect there is true power in Grinxii?

8 People in Ireland at a convention competition like this is actually a decent turn out.

Inspiring write up. Thank you. DreadBall has been on my wish list for a while now, but I’ve not got it yet. May need to bump it up the list

A disappointing eight in total sideofiron.

Ireland is a small place of course, but considering that I ran a ten-strong DreadBall event with competitors who had to travel quite a distanc, waaaay out into rural Ireland at one extreme end of the country a couple of months back I was hoping that the Conclave event would have larger attendance.

It was still fun of course and I certainly got a kick out of winning decisively in a historical sporting landmark, but I did expect a turnout in double figures at least.

Nice one Mikko, thanks. I finally have the proof of the athletic prowess that my mother always said I had

Thanks Denis!

The board is a particularly good prize. I have won product in numerous forms at various events over the years, which is great of course but forgettable. I have very limited memory of which of my various Heroclix bits and pieces I won and which I bought for example. On the other hand a plaque is a fun thing to display in the man-cave but not much use other than that really.

The trophy pitch is a great combination of the two that I can roll out for friendly games for giggles and a bit of a friendly wind up

Thanks apeekaboo. The tournament was small (disappointingly so really) but winning by landslide in every game gives the title a little credibility at least

In other words, I will mention the day in my memoirs, but I may not have an entire chapter about it
