A DreadBall Tournament Trophy from Bristol!

DreadBall Regional Tournament

I haven’t been able to play a DreadBall tournament since going up to Nottingham this spring for Mantic Games’ Mantic Day and DreadBall tournament with my Marauders team,

Being in the South-West for work this weekend, I had the opportunity to stop by in Bristol today for the DreadBall Regional, held at the awesome wargaming venue of Vanguard Wargaming and organised by Liam Hall (@MunkeyKungFu).

I had fun with my Marauders, though I didn’t do too well overall. This time I took my Void Siren for a tournament première. Lo and behold, some luck of the dice, and I actually walk away with the trophy, taking the South West Regional trophy to the Midlands!

#1 – DreadBall Tournament Teams

14 player. 5 games each. Lots of fun.

I certainly wasn’t the only one with a Corporation team. Season 1 and Season 2 Corporation made up 2/3 of all teams between them.

S1 Humans (Trontek) 4 Teams
S2 Human (Void Sirens) 4 Teams
Marauders (Orx & Goblins) 4 Teams
Judwan 1 Team
Zzor 1 Team

#2 – Many Thanks to Everyone!

Winning the event, it seems, also qualified me for Mantic’s “big” end-of-the-year DreadBall tournament in Essex in November (?). Gonna try if I can keep the day open for that one!

I may be able to write a bit more about the games when I am back home by the middle of the week.

Either way, many thanks to the organisers for the great event and to everyone that played!

    Congrats on the win! Got to go to the big end of year tourney. Despite some issues, Dreadball is still a pretty darn good game.

      Well. My wins prove it as much as anything else. Had a lot of good luck coming my way… 2 opponents in a row lost a rush to the launching ball. 2 games in a row I had the “Ball Shatters” card. Can’t claim this trophy with my mad Dreadball skillz alone.

      But it is a lot of fun. Just got to accept that next tournament I might be on the other side of the lucky draws.
