Well, the latter half of my league frittered away a bit. I got in a game against Dan and managed to win by a landslide pretty quickly, so we pulled out some Season Four teams and had a follow-on for fun game. My last game was scheduled against Oli, but due to impending babies we …

Vanguard League Season Two – part 1
With our normal organiser getting too busy, the second season was delayed slightly – and then taken up by a new organiser. Me! I always said that if no-one else organised leagues or tournaments in Bristol, I would have to do it myself. So here I am. I kept the two divisions from the first …
Doombar League Part Two
Game four was cancelled, as my scheduled opponent quit the league after his prior game. Since this is a structured league rather than a free-form one, the organiser decided to award all of his future matches as an average of his recorded ones. The upshot of this is that my monkeys got three experience increases …
Doombar League – Games One to Three
After the Vanguard Wargaming store closed permanently, the Bristol Vanguard club found a new home at the Old Duke pub in the centre. The parking is slightly harder but the public transport is much easier. Also, it was time for a third league! This one is more organised than previous ones – the pairings are …
Bristol Megalofunotron Tournament Review
This was another local tournament, like the Bristol Blitz last year. It would be nice to bring every different team to a tournament at some point, to get proper use out of all of them, and given that I’ve been using Zees a lot this year (especially in the Cardiff League) it would be a …
Vanguard DreadBall League Season Two – Games Four and Five
My Robots continue plodding their way through the Vanguard Season Two League… Game Four – Stu’s S2 Corporation (Away) This game showcased the awfully fickle nature of dice. For his first action, Stu slammed a Robot with his Guard – and his Guard went out for three turns. Pretty much every slam he tried failed …

Bristol Regional Tournament 2013
The Bristol Regional Tournament! Held at Vanguard Wargaming, like the Bristol Blitz before it, and the first tournament I’ve been to without Jen. Oli came along and borrowed my Corporation team as his own Void Sirens weren’t painted yet. I took a lot of umm-ing and ahh-ing about what team exactly I should take. My …
Vanguard DreadBall League Season Two – Games One to Three
The Bristol Vanguard are holding another league at Vanguard Wargaming – there are some major changes to the format based on feedback from the first (Season One) league they ran for two rounds earlier this year. There are no rounds and no friendlies, instead every player will play each other twice (once at Home, once …

Bristol Blitz 2013
Thoughts Before The Bristol Blitz, my second tournament, is in one week (as of writing) and is hosted at Vanguard Wargaming. As soon as we finished the ManticBowl, I wanted to be at another tournament. I fell for tournament play hard. This time, we have convinced Oli to come out with us – he’s one …
Vanguard Dreadball League
I was tempted to step up and start some DreadBall community in Bristol, since no-one else had done so and the nearest tournament, official or widely announced, was in Milton Keynes. The ‘Southern’ regional heat was somewhere out East somewhere, and pretty much useless for much of what I think of as the South region …
