  1. Back to running backs - does the name Roshan Lobo ring a bell? I created a solitaire league a few years back based on the Elite Football League of India. The real EFLI was a one-and-done, despite their claims of being backed by the likes of Kurt Warner and Mark Wahlberg. My EEFLI (Elite Electric Football League of India) was a part of Season IV of the MFCA Solitaire Challenge. The Bangalore Warhawks won the EEFLI, and based on points earned, were picked to play in the championship game against David Foster's Kansas State Wildcats. David and I mailed our teams to Chris LeMay, who played the championship game. The real Roshan Lobo, weighing in at around 155, was the star of the EFLI. My little plastic Roshan Lobo, a combination of speed and strength, was the EEFLI rushing leader and the MVP of the championship game - definitely "The Man". I have attached the SCPC Game Day edition. The real Roshan Lobo The plastic Roshan Lobo Season IV Special Editin.pdf
  2. You gotta love a woman that lets you be you - especially when it comes to playing a game that we had as children! I have a good one, too. She also puts up with the 60+ days a year that I spend standing in a creek waving a stick.
  3. First Round - Lisboa Devils defeat Lisboa Navigators, 14-7 Devils #23 gets outside for 21 yards. 39-yard pass to Devils #15. Devils go up 7-0 on a 3-yard pass to #27. Navigators #27 takes a swing pass 29 yards. Navigators tie the score on a 39-yard pass to #15. Devils #23 carries for 15 more yards. Devils QB #16 passes to #15 for 29 yards. Devils #16 threads the needle to #27 for a 31 yard score to take a 14-7 lead. Navigators QB #18 scrambles to avoid pressure and runs for 52 yards. Navigators #13 catches a pass over the middle but is stopped on the 2 yard line. On fourth-and-goal from the 2, Devils #77 sacks Navigators #18 for the win.
  4. Greatest fantasy league of all time - should have a display in Canton, Ohio!
  5. First Round - Cascais Crusaders defeat Algarve Sharks, 14-7 Sharks #7 catches a pass for 37 yards. Sharks QB #1 hooks up with #7 again for 18 yards. #1 hits #14 on an out pattern, but he is stopped on the 2 yard line by Crusaders #18. #1 hits #14 on a slant on 4th and goal, Sharks lead 7-0. Crusaders QB #1 completes a 62-yard pass to #23. Two plays later #1 finds #18 to tie the score 7-7. Sharks #1 runs for it on 4th and 15, but is stopped short by Crusaders #18. The Crusaders offensive line opens up a huge hole for #24, who runs for 21 yards. With the Sharks defense expecting a pass, #24 gets outside on a draw play and wins the game for the Crusaders on a 52-yard run!
  6. First Round - Braga Warriors defeat Paredes Lumberjacks Warriors QB #18 passes to #19 over the middle. #19 outruns the defense for a 47-yard touchdown, 7-0. Warriors defensive end #63 pressures Lumberjacks QB on 4th and 12, pass incomplete.
  7. All of my LPFE teams run a 3-4, and when I finish my new XFL teams they will too. I set the inside linebackers 5 yards back, and put a magnet under one. If the play turns out to be a run, I remove the magnet and he moves to stop the run. If the play turns out to be a pass, he drops back into coverage.
  8. I use two tight ends with ITZ bases set to go sideways - takes out those loopers.
  9. First Round - Porto Mutts defeat Maia Renegades Mutts first possession, #33 scores on a 65 yard run. Blanket pass coverage by the Mutts leads to the winning interception.
  10. THE RULES: I will be using a tweaked version of Beenutt's solitaire tournament rules. For reference, I have attached a copy of his 2013 Solitaire Tournament Rules, and below is his great video demonstrating his rules. Like his college tournament, my European leagues tournament will involve over 100 teams, so first round games are one possession each starting on the 25. If both teams score, the rest of the game will be similar to a college overtime, with each team getting a possession in each round. League Championship and later round games will consist of two 15-play halves. Now here are my tweaks to his rule set: No kickoffs, even in later rounds. Each possession starts on the 25, unless there is an interception. No extra points - I am playing games on a model 500 field, so there is not much room in the end zone. No field goals No stacking - there must be 5 yards space between two players lined up vertically. Defensive backs may not jam wide receivers. After contact, the board is stopped and the DBs are pivoted to move downfield with the WRs. This rule does not apply to tight ends and slot receivers. No passing sticks - I will be using two six-sided dice. The quarterbacks on many of the real European teams are less than 50% on passing accuracy, so I have different levels of passing. For instance, some of the less-skilled QBs can only complete a pass with a roll of 6 or 8. If the intended receiver has a defender less than 10 yards away, a roll of boxcars is an interception. A roll of snake eyes is always an interception, going to the closest unengaged defender. Magnets - the offense can put magnets under the bases of the QB and a RB, and the defense can put put magnets under two players, usually safeties or inside linebackers. The magnets may be removed during one of the stops, and must be removed if another player of either team contacts them. beenutt solitaire rules 2013.pdf
  11. Dang, Al! Do you do stand-up comedy on the side?
  12. I set them 5 yards back, and when they contact the receiver, I stop the board and pivot them to go downfield with the receiver.
  13. I agree. I use sticks for passes into space and dice for spot passes like Peyton Manning's quick slants. The sticks are more realistic for passes downfield because the defense gets to make a play on the ball. Great idea with the pressure sticks!
  14. Thanks for the help! My plans are to paint the Tudor giants for 1960s CFL teams and the Gotham and Coleco players for 1950s NFL teams.
  15. Dang quick reply, No Dave - nice hustle! Do you use any type of sealer on top of the acrylic?
  16. I love any level of arena football! Do your make the covers yourself?
  17. Any suggestions on what type of paint to use on the soft plastic figures below?
  18. For platforms, of the above, plus Pine Green. When I do paint bases, I use Testors green. Enamel seems to work better on the soft plastic of the base, but some leagues outlaw painted bases because it changes the performance of the base.
