Charter Member of DLE Sigmar Heldenhammer Conference, SHC South Division Franchise Owner and Head Coach: Mean Andugl Home Field: Brionne Bay Stadium (aka "Hell's Pit"), Bretonnia Sponsor: Team Colours: Buccaneer Red and Pewter Fight Songs: Hells Bells, Wild Thing There Will Be Blood BRIONNE BUCCANEERS Bucs origins – 18th and final charter member of DLE Some day pretty shortly before the first DLE season was about to start, Mean Andugl, businessman with an undying love for blood bowl, for the first time heard Did you know? Unknown persons announced a donation of $1 to the FUMBBL charity org. for every Norden Legion player that gets perm. injured or killed on the pitch in Season 3. Officials don't deny Bucs are not close friends with Legion (see "Rivalries"), but dismissed being responsible for the bounties. Did you know? Since the Bretonnian rivals Skar Bay Sharks (aka "Eels") joined DLE several inns in Brionne serve shark fin soup and smoked eel as specialties Did you know? Bucs main slogan for the first 13 games was "Fight Hard - Party Harder!", but after 4 games in a row without a win and receiving more cas than the opponents it was time for a change. Did you know? Since their foundation the Bucs had no less than 5 Franchise Players under contract, more than any other DLE team. 3 of them - Dunkelhelm, Blanda and Chabal - are still on Bucs current roster. Did you know? A persistent rumour has it the Skar Bay Sharks played so bad before Season 1 that the desperate team management set fire to the franchises offices in order to skip the first season, thereby saving license fees and avoiding diappointed Eels fans in L'Anguille to go berserk Andugl announced his intention to establish a DLE Franchise in Brionne, the bustling port city and province in Bretonnia, infamous for its The genuine Bretonnian blood bowl team The Bucs are the only DLE charter member based in Bretonnia. With the league expansion for the 2nd DLE season a new franchises announced plans to base its business in Bretonnia, the Skar Bay Sharks in L'Anguille (accordingly nicknamed "Eels" by Bucs fans). The Bucs embrace the competition. However, to the Buccaneers' fans, who view themselves as underdogs, the Bucs are the only truly Bretonnian DLE team, while the DLE newcomers are regarded as snobbish upstarts. Bucs way of life: fight for your right to party! Bucs philosopy is akin to their namesakes. We are all but puritanical. At sea or on the pitch, a buccaneer's life (or career) is violent and all too often pretty short. So you better enjoy it while it lasts and don't take it too seriously (must see: why worry?). Fight hard, and party even harder! Fight songs and chanting A match at Brionne Bay Stadium is never a quiet affair. Bucs fans love to sing, chant and shout, and their songs reverberate throughout the stadium long before the game begins. When the Bucs march in the team is greeted with Hells Bells. The opposing team is welcomed heartily too, typically with repeated singing of the (slightly altered) refrain of Beck's "Loser" (Soy un perdedor, you are loser babies, so why don't we kill you?), a hailstorm of Bucweiser bottles and occasionally some rocks (which unfortunately sometimes hit the wrong targets). Among the favourite fan songs is the perennial Wild Thing (Wild thing, you make my heart sing, you make everything groovy ...shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it WILD THING, come on WILD THING, come on come on WILD THING ...). This footage (just listen, play loud!) from a long forgotten baseball team pretty good captures the party atmosphere in Hell's Pit when the fans perform "Wild Thing", pushing the Bucs on and driving opponents mad (quotes: "I hate this fucking song" "oh no, not that goddamn song again").

Rivalries The archenemy The Divisional Playoffs in Season 2 brought a bitter defeat and a sworn enemy - Norden Legion. Not only did Legion foul to death Bucs Rodger Saffold and badly hurt respectively koed 2 other players in the very 1st turn of the match. Not only did they talk the ref into believing that Bucs Weatherspoon (who was understandably stirred up because of Legion's despicable actions) fouled Legion's notorious killer Blanda, with the result that Weatherspoon was sent off. Not only did that same killer Blanda badly hurt another Bucs player in a blitz next turn, leaving Bucs 5 players down after 1 1/2 turns in H1. Not only did Legion coax the ref to turn back the clock when they would have lacked enough time to score the winning touchdown in the dying minutes of the game. No, on top of that Legion's coach, aptly nicknamed Lord Loudmouth by Bucs fans, repeatedly complained about Bucs allegedly violating rules, which more than once brought Bucs on the brink of a ref-induced forced turnover in favour of Legion. Bucs fans and team were and still are outraged about Legion's ongoing misbehaviour. Bucs team is said to be determined to pay back Legion in spades, though this of course never has been confirmed. Rumour has it that wealthy Bucs fans have put bounties on Legion's players for every perm injury or death caused by blocks, fouls or crowd surfing. However, Bucs owner and headcoach Mean Andugl has never commented at all on the Legion's affair, remaining totally silent. Deadly silent, some observers say. Not exactly best friends Some rivalries can run deep even if teams rarely meet on the pitch. For the Bucs two DLE teams stand out in this regard. Broekwater Patriots - they deserve to be hated The Broekwater Patriots (KFC West), coached and managed by DLE founder bghandras, gained recognition as a superduper team. They are ruthless and focus on causing damage to opponents. They are obnoxiously efficient. They are calling the shots with regard to trades. They are by far the strongest DLE team, and be it on or off the pitch they don't shy away from fishy, underhanded tactics to maintain or increase their lead. Just about everything they do appears to have been planned ahead meticulously. This anaemic quest for perfection makes them natural antagonists of the "Fight Hard - Party Harder!" Bucs. And as if that wasn't enough those heartless monsters got all the help in the world from Nuffle in their first encounter with the Bucs, which ensured an easy win in a totally lopsided game that Bucs won't forget. To cut it short, the Patriots deserve to be hated. Averheim River Bandits - who do they think they are? The reason why the Averheim River Bandits (KFC East), an expansion team that joined DLE in season 2, are the Bucs bitter enemies is eye-catching. Just take a look at the former Bandits logo (right) and compare it to the Bucs logo (left). The similarities are obvious. How did some inland river bandits (and it's not even a big river) dare to shame-lessly Divisional rivals The Brionne Buccaneers are a charter member team of the Sigmar Heldenhammer Conference (SHC). Since the league expansion in season 2 the Bucs play in the SHC South division, which is composed of the Bucs, Barboza Bruisers, Monte Castello Wreckers and Irrana Avalanche (the latter being an expansion team that joined DLE in season 2). The following table gives an overview of Bucs' results against their divisional rivals
The Bretonnian rival Since the league expansion for the 2nd season the Bucs are no longer the only DLE team in Bretonnia. The Skar Bay Sharks (SHC West division) franchise emerged in L'Anguille. Based in Bretonnia and in geographic proximity this team is a natural rival of the Bucs, though under the current scheduling the teams play each other rarely. It goes without saying that team and fans view the Bucs as the genuine, most important and predominant DLE team in Bretonnia.
