One of the things I've talked about with Wednesday Night Warfare is to come up with more manageable games for the weeknight fun.

"Blood Bowl 2", easily the best digital version of any GW game that isn't named "Talisman", was something Velker and I wanted to try for a while.

The game, which I thought came across reasonably well, lead to a brief discussion re: having our very own ACD BB League.  Just a thought, anyway.

Oh, and the video:

Wished I'd groked to the fact that you guys were playing it earlier. I was checking out Triumph and Glory from LnL for review purposes. Saw your handle pop up playing BB2 but didn't know you were broadcasting 'till I stumbled on it.

Great game, very entertaining, Velker rolled JUST like me vs. AI, so I felt his pain.

We should do a group here. Who else here has BB2 on Steam?

I have Chaos edition, if that's any good?

I think you need BB2, because it has a 'create a team' feature. Though that's if Cyrano or anyone can figure out how to actually run a full league.

Otherwise as long as someone else has Chaos Edition, you guys can play a match that way. I have BB: Legendary Edition, BB: Chaos Edition, and BB2. :)

Right BB2 is the way to go here.
I can't believe we won't have a sale very soon on it and it is very well worth the purchase, although only with the "Legendary" edition does one get the cool array of teams.

I shall prepare an ADC league.  Don't cost nothin'.

Legacy is showing as $29.99 on Steam right now.  Not a bad price. But it's always good to purchase while on sale. 

Here at ACD, we all pee the same color.

Ohhhh...well damn. I don't have BB2 Legendary, so I don't have all those awesome teams. :(

The Team Pack is $15.12, if that is all you need.

Oops, I see that there are more teams available than there are in the Team Pack.

The 'official expansion' has a lot of content too. I see the Team Pack but yeah it's not everything the Legendary version is...I'm guessing the latter has all of the former?

Well, I'll keep an eye on the Legendary edition...I want to be sure I have everything you guys have too once we get into this. I can't justify any more game purchases (blasphemy, I know) for the time being, until this COVID crap passes.

I'll put it on my follow list as well, pending a sale.

Just to put a coda on this, Velker and I figured out how to create a league.

The Armchair Dragoons league is up in the system and our first competition (a six-team round-robin) is available.

You have to request a ticket to participate -- very nice feature -- so as folks get the game, and as we get closer to 6!, I'll start the competition.

I'll park this until then.

PRAISE NUFFLE!!!

How do you do that - through the game?
