Blood Bowl League 3.3 Week 5

Dreamy

In Cryo Sleep
So, Dreamy - when do you want to play the new decisive match?

I'm free pretty much any time apart from Wednesday and Thursday this week, but would prefer to get this done asap :)

Well, then it is today at 22:00 CET, or Friday. :rolleyes:

(Can possibly start earlier - I'm hanging around in game public chat right now, so you can drop by and say hi for discussion about time if you want to)

Well, game is over with. (Quickly, since I suddenly was reminded that I had managed to double book my evening.)

Mr Huung and his Punchy Haters were given a thorough taste of elfball, which will probably last them a good long time.

-

This morning I saw that he had 230 k above me, enough to buy a lineman and still get a wizard.

I didn't want a lineman, though, I wanted a catcher or thrower, but then I wouldn't get a wizard.

Finally I compromised, and got another reroll (going away from my earlier thought that I should only have one reroll, I am very ashamed to say)

Then when the game was about to start, I found out that I was only getting 120 k inducements, as Huung had fired a skink to stop me from wizardry.

To his regret, since I instead took a third reroll, allowing me to spend them as penny candy, for example to pound his skinks into the dirt.

Very lively game, lots of running, bashing, tackling and stripping took place.

And if it hadn't started raining in the last kickoff, it would probably have been 5-0 :p

I've uploaded the game to CTA, for those who like to download games and watch them. Day 21, right next doors to Narly's upload ;)

Absolutely obliterated by a team which just would NOT fall over :p

It gives you a bit of a taste of what the Crunch Cup league will be like. Hopefully not too bitter a taste... ;)

Well done Dreamy to claim the title! We may also have a bbtactics person win div 3, depending on the results of MD5.

Speaking of which, on the off chance that Snap will turn up and in keeping with the mutations theme of my team, i decided to give my 6spp Beastman Claw! Not so reliable without block, but it should hopefully make those Dwarfs quake in their boots! :eek:

This doesn't give Dreamy D2 - not by a long way. It just stops me from taking D2 :p
The match between Vel and Mog now decides who of those two gets it.

In that case Dreamy has failed me and should hang his head in shame for not winning the division. :mad: Same goes for Lebe who i picked to win with his Flings! :(

On a more serious note, Liz vs Welf is a terrible matchup for Liz, given the Wardancers can usually leap in and 2 dice the ball carrier every turn that they roll the 3+. And if they have strip ball or tackle, then its almost a certainty that the skink will drop the ball. The only other tough matchup for Liz is vs Chaos when they have claw to rip through the Saurus. Here's hoping you meet my Irradiated Warriors next season Huung. I will try and stack up on claw in the off season ;)

Well, at least your prediction about me coming in a close second could come true, depending on the outcome of my match vs. Velaphor

Hi Velaphor,

my Internet is finally up and running again, so there is nothing stopping us from doing a last minute match.
Problem is during the week is rather complicated to realize a match right now and I will be gone Saturday, which leaves only Sunday afternoon around 15:00 gmt, when I'll be back. How does that sound for you.

In extreme cases I would be able to play weekdays at around 22:00 gmt though I would not prefer to do so.

I'm sure I can do Sunday if it's the only time for you. I'm free all week if you suddenly find you can do it earlier tho =].

Hi Xylak, due to my impending wedding on Saturday I'm somewhat busy with last minute bits and pieces. I'm free Monday (today) Tuesday and Thursday evenings, hopefully one of those works for yourself...

Hey phil, I could make it any time this afternoon/evening... as long as we're finished by about 8 (uk).
Thursday I'll need to be finished by 7:30 and won't be around until around 6-ish.
 
I should be able to make it home to play at 6pm today, that should mean we have enough time to finish the game before 8pm...

If it is any consolation to you I didn't stall for a second this game.

I also didn't leap once. Huung had one good cage one turn away from the endzone once, but he had voluntarily put one of the corners next to a random unskilled lineman. Two assists and a push, and I could have a 4+ dodge in next to his rookie skink.

Since it was my tackle-stripping WD who could do that, I went for it, and away went the ball again. Huung then picked up the ball with a saurus and ran away with it. :eek:
Only to get him wrestled down by a lone catcher, ball freed and swiftly passed upfield for yet another TD. :rolleyes:

Just finished my game with comrade_phil's very squishy Elves.
Boy did they get squished, the second half showed why it was called Blood Bowl with a couple of bad injuries sustained by Air On-My-G-String... and then one got nuked to death! Oh my but it looked painful. :eek:
My solid Urrrrggh crew took a few slaps but, once again, emerged unscathed I think.

Final score 2-1 to Urrrrggh - would have been 3-1 if I hadn't been too greedy in trying to slap some Elves about and getting a skull.

Fun game and a nice consolation TD from phil with a goalline touchback runner scoring in 2 quick turns including some nifty footwork to avoid two defenders.

One of the best things about the undead teams are their resiliency.

All played matches validated.

That was quick, thanks.
Undead do seem to be pretty tough, glad I went with with them. It was a toss-up between them and Amazons - and I don't think I made a bad choice, really.

3 players level up and not a scratch between them. And with sitting 2nd in the division, all-in-all a top result for me :)

Feeling pretty chuffed. :D
