Subbuteo Rules

Have had a skim over the rules and have picked up a few errors from our games on sat.

• Players crossing the side lines are left where the land, except ones which leave the cloth, they are placed on the edge of the cloth.
• If a defensive blocking flick hits a moving ball or player then a free flick is awarded to the attacker
• If another player is hit during a positional flick (following a throw in etc) then player are returned to original positions
• All free flicks are indirect, except penalties
• The replacement Goalie can be placed in or behind the goal area
• The replacement Goalie can be removed if the ball goes out of play

There may be more, will keep looking.

Pre-Season friendlys at the Hawkhill home ground.

To Celebrate the opening of the New Hawkhill Ground 4 Mighty teams converged for a carnival of football.



Present were:

• Aberdeen from the 70's (Craig)
  
• Generic Blue (Chloe)
  
• Celtic in disguise (David)
  
• Hawkhill Hotspur (Tom)
  

Game 1
Hawkhill Hotspur (1) V's Aberdeen from the 70's (0)
Controversy was inevitable when these two old rivels clash and this game was no exception. The crowd gasped as a strike destined for the top right hand side of the Dons goal was deflected by a giant hand! Dispite contesting the refs discison at every turn Aberdeen were unable to sway the result in their favour.

Game 2
Generic Blue (1) V's Celtic in disguise (0)
The Celts attacking game left them very vulnerable to the break, often having no players on their own half. Chloes Generic Blue were unlucky no have slotted a couple more in.

Game 3 (3rd place play off)
Celtic in disguise (0) V's Aberdeen from the 70's (3)
The 3rd place play off again showed the celtic defence up, Craig calmly putting 3 past the unsupported keeper

Game 4 (Final)
Hawkhill Hotspur (2) V's Generic Blue (0)
The final was hotly contested with both sides having scoring oppertunitys in the 1st half. It wasnt until the final 7 min of the game that the deadlock was broken with a superb strike by the Spurs. The Generics Blue's head went down after this and it wasnt long before a second was conceded.

Awakening of the dead - Up date

So it looks like the creator of Conflict of hero's Ewe Eikert likes the idea too!

I sent him an e-mail asking if it would be ok to post any zombie scenarios I create on Board game Geak. Well he replyed that perhaps they could publish them!

Now that sounds like a challenge, better get my finger out.
