Editors Foreword

Welcome Sports fans, to the first edition of MEAT! Magazine. For those of you who haven't heard of us, we are a publication dedicated to bringing you the latest Blood Bowl news, gossip, and the inside information on the Blood & Snot league.

We'd like to thank the owner of MEAT! Magazine, the exalted Count Ruprecht von Murdoch; who kindly chained us to our desks in almost complete darkness to work on this publication. All hail our lord and master!

Read on Sports fans.....and be amazed!

The Regular Season Kicks Off

The League Commissioner has stated that he is very happy with the state of the League overall. As a newly formed league the Team retention has been high and the number of expansion Teams has surprised even the Commisioner.

During an Interview he was quoted s saying:

“I know we cut it short... but the new season will be great,” and

“We went through the mill, but hey that’s blood bowl  ... We’ve lost some great coaches, recruited better ones ... and some of the coaches who decided we weren’t for them have moved on... good luck to them”

The rumour mill has it that there has been an increasing spread of Nurglerot amongst those Coaches’ and Teams that are no longer under the Blood & Snot umbrella. Coincidence or malice? You decide.

There are plenty of new Rivalries already taking shape and old ones that are opening old wounds.

This Season is looking to be a fantastic orgy of violence, intrigue and of course Blood Bowl.

Scry Sports

For those of you who don’t know, Count Ruprecht von Murdoch is broadcasting Blood & Snot games LIVE via Scry Sports.


How it works: Simply take the Scry Sports crystal ball and point the anntenEYE at the pitch. This image is captured and then sent up to the Skaven-run Scatter-Light, which, like the name suggests, scatters the image all over the realm. You can capture this light in your very own Scry Sports crystal ball at home, for your viewing pleasure! You can get so close to the action, you can almost smell the Orcs!

While you’re enjoying all the wholesome treats that only a game of Blood bowl can offer, spare a thought for those poor rats working up there so high above us - they only went up there because they thought the moon was made of cheese!

Grudges Arise

The newly formed Division5 Blood and Sweat kicked off and caused quite a stir. It appears that the Long Jetty Prawners crowd became an influencing factor as just prior to kick off a large unidentified flying object caused the death of Rookie Saurus Mohrngred. The Saurus didn’t see the genetically modified prawn until it was too late! But at least the Autopsy revealed that the Saurus didn’t feel too much and certainly didn’t suffer.

This has caused the Unimaginable Scales Coach Ruiner to become enraged. Even during our scrounging for Potions and bribes we could hear him scream Keeeeel them! Keeeeel them aaaaaaawwwllllll!"

It’s a disgrace that our hard earned Entry Fee and concessions go to paying these Estrogen laden meatheads! But at least they give us something to watch on Scry Sports primetime every day every hour!

 

Coach Review

 

HirnKhan (aka “Coward Coach” after the catacombs incident) – Division3 Coach
Division 5 Administrator
Team – Rats with Attitude
Current Record – 0-0-1

After his contract was abruptly brought to a close with the Bloody Horns of Khorne he has now signed a Coaching contract with the Rats with Attitude. No one is quite sure where they came from, but judging by the barrels of Orca Cola Mix, we assume that they have been drugged by the Coward Coach. We will be looking into this further and provide details to you our public as they arise – or we place the evidence and report it to you.

Snotty Goblins at it Again

MEAT! Magazine apologizes for the short interview; it was at this Point that Scabor’s Journalist passed out. We haven’t heard much from him since. Please return him if found.

 

 

Bounty Bars

It seems some players have been attracting a lot of attention recently..... so much so, they've got a price on their head! Needless to say, these players ought to be careful on the field..... or some of their own team mates might collect on the bounty!

Introduction

Welcome to the 11th Legion of Vega

The LoV Tournament Results Table can be Found HERE

There is a time for Heroes. This time is now!

Within this thread you shall post your Achievements. Your Battles will be posted in the Appropriate Thread and in the appropriate format.

You have come here because you have sought help and Help you shall receive. But be aware: This is a two way Road. You will only receive what you put in.

Here is the link to those who wish the Legions Logo for those who wish to use it.

Let us then Outline some Prinicples of what it means to be 11th Legion of Vega.

The first thing to learn is as follows: Though the 11th is a Heavy Regiment, we are in the Light/Medium Battalion.

We will Engage in Honourable Battle and Fight untill all Victory Conditions are met. If the battle has been lost early then an Orderly Tactical Retreat will be staged.
This will allow you to engage the enemy for as long as possible and perhaps swing the Battle your way with a Lucky TAC.

We will strive to achieve our Goals to the utmost of our ability.

Our Goals are:

    To learn from our Battles and those of our Regiment.

To Grow our Hangars to be able to field a Company of 3 Lances of 4 mechs.
To field 2 Lances of Vehicles to provide support to the above Lances.
To Remain on the Attack for as long as possible. Both in the Metagame and on the Battlefield.
To be an active part in the DCMS Metagame

Let us look at how to achieve these Goals:
To learn: This is easy.
Use the LoV Battle report thread in exactly the same format as your Tai-I already has. Read these reports as a daily measure for updates and learn from the Tactics that the enemy employs. Critique yourselves and your Regiment members. Scout out your potential enemy. Pick someone that you want to Battle against and watch 2 or 3 of their battles. Learn their technique and Lance Composition.

Grow Your Hangar: This is long Term.
You will need to buy Bay Space at every opportunity. This will allow you to make much more money in the long term. Think about this: In order to field 12 Medium mech you will be required to have 48 bays.

Thats not that many. But remember you start with 35, so thats a total investment of 19500Cbills. [i]This is easily achieved over a very short time even while your loosing.[/i]
How can this be achieved? Start by repairing your repairs piece by piece.



Use Green and Regular Techs to repair armour. Veteran techs to repair Criticals that are too high for Regs and Elite Techs for Engine/Gyro Crits. This ought to give you repair rolls of 6-8 at a minimal Cost. Do [b]NOT[/b] Increase the Hours required unless it is absolutely neccesary.

Veteran Players have been doing this and saving around 50% of their Repair costs!!!


The reason why we are required to field 2 Lances of support units os to provide the Ability to recover from Heavy losses. This means you can field a competitive lance at 50% the cost of mechs. This Support unit will allow you to grow your Hangar. Repairs are the same as for the Mechs.


To Remain on the attack: This is mediocre difficulty.
In order for this to occur the 1th is required to communicate with its members. Only we are 11th no others are. There is no other subFacton at this time.
We communicate by posting what we see on the Frontlines. This is a must. If your sitting active Gathering Flu in a safe spot we need to know. That way we can flood that BV and all gather Flu. Furthermore we can reduce the chances of being hit individually. A Flock strategy.
As and when your active and an enemy goes active that you can hit, hit it!


This will help you fight off of Kuritan Soil and prevent our losses. Loosing % on an enemy Planet is much better than loosing
 % on ours.
