Can you see the difference between the two boxes below? If not you might have some sympathy for the dodgy ginger bloke who always wins .. if so then join me in ridiculing and abusing him at every available opportunity ! (even if he is colour blind)

(for the sake of Mr. Hunt SUPPORT is the one on the left!)

So we were pooled into two groups of four for the first round. Table one was Liam and Parry Cooke, James Phoenix and Paul Atherton whilst table two saw myself, Paul Brown, Ste Hunt and Craig Woolnough go head to head (to head to head). The teams/pulls were as follows ...

Round one on the table of sleep. Attack damn you!

Deserved a prize after being critically missed twice to see off Katana, outliving Veteran Superman and then going toe to toe with Kalibak. My Hero!

In sporting fashion goes out of his way to make the Mystic wildcarded OMAC Superman Vets first target so the others have a chance to take Supes down.

By all accounts the next table along looked more like a pacifists convention that a superpowered scuffle as all the players made for shelter and waited for the opposition to come to them. I think Mr. Hunt must have thought he was on that table judging from the tactics employed from his bush-huggers and snipers. Well two of the guys from the other table had to qualify for the final and I think Judge Date made the decision on the players who had produced the most rapid eye movement during the first round. Liam and Paul Atherton moved their sleeping bags accross the room to join us for the final.

I love bush me! It's nothing to be proud of and I am sure you used the same tactics that you mock others for. Bah, I can see I am going to have to cheese up to knock some sense into you. NAH, I can't bring myself to do that, there must be another way!

Meanwhile the Bush-hopping snipers Union were playinmg a game of 'how many Heroclix© can you fit in a bush'. It could be worse, Ragman could have bounced in and out of the bush (starting and ending in exactly the same square) on four consecutive turns and removing his Willpower option so he took pushing damage. Oh, in that case IT WAS WORSE! Why the heck is he doing that I wondered. Well a few turns later he says Ragman has Support, so now I understand why he did it, I assume he has memorised all the Collateral Damage figure stats already as he has no social life, so I don't bother to check. He goes on to heal up all his other figures and Emerald Empress and Co. launch a full-scale assualt on Superman kicking his butt. You can imagine my 'surprise' when a couple of days later at the Marquee I discover that he didn't actually have Support!!! Well enough said about this, all I can say is I am VERY glad he did not end up winning the tournament after this little trick.

The final gets underway and Mr Hunt moves from bush to bush, to bush to roof - before hideously misinterpreting powers on his dial to deny Superman victory. Colour blind indeed man, get yourself a filter or coloured pens or something to sort this out!

Paul did an excellent job of being a wuss as his 3 onto one odds weren't enough so he ran around looking for a points win. Luckilly the torrent of verbal abuse was enough to make him rethink and Kalibak was defeated by the superior numbers and dial stats. Like anything else was ever going to happen. Parry was deservedly voted for the Fellowship prize (had there been an anti-fellowship award we would not have needed a vote! : )

So it was that a Battle Royale was played out as more of a Bedtime Story and we were all so sleepy it was time to retire for the evening. Nighty night from the Heroclix© pyjama party.

Its three onto one lads ... RUN!

LE Addiction: Case 208 ... Winner Paul Atherton and Liam shows of his Fellowship Award ... Its upside down Liam!

Thanks to the players for turning up and making it a good game (well most of them - one in particular should be hanging his head in shame and retiring to a lepper colony after tonight's perfomance). Thanks to the other people at the club tonight for keeping quiet so they didn't wake anyone up on table two.

Thanks to Ste D for Judging again so I got a chance to play and be cheated out of being able to toy with the opposition before deciding who I wanted to win (bow before me my minions).

I shall now go away and take a large packet of chill pills and a cup of tea. If I decide to go very cheesy in my next game or two to exact my revenge I just hope you will understand why. No I can't do it, I can't lower myself to his level - ropey theme team it is!
