Managed to get in a game of Blood Bowl with a local, Mike, while in Paraparaumu! We tested builds for the upcoming Blitz Bowl in Tauranga.

Chris got really unlucky with his injury rolls, never succeeding to remove a player. I meanwhile managed a 5+ cage dive! 2-1 win for my Imperial Nobility.

It seems clear that the U.S. has destroyed something pretty valuable in forcing Canada to look elsewhere for trusted allies. And I'm simply left asking: To what end? I see no gains to the U.S. from aggravating Canadians. Pointlessly destructive.
