1 - 1 at the start of the second half against Dangerous Dave's Chaos Dwarf.
My elves are getting roughed up badly - already 3 in the injury box

Not good - not good

On 8 block dice rolled in my turn, following my Runners pulling their standard trick of missing a "3+ with a reroll":
2 skulls, 5 Both down (this is Norse vs Dwarfs remember), 1 Dodgepow...who passed his armour.

The Pitch Invasion was just to make me think I had a chance...

Just a quick note that after playing my turns yesterday afternoon, my email seems to be playing up this evening, so I may not be able to play today.

I'm still around though, just bear with me.

No problem, we have plenty of time ... another 3.5 weeks.

Well I've got an interesting start... at the kickoff the ball bounces to one of my sauri who rolls a 6 to catch the bouncing ball!

Its taken 11 turns, but I FINALLY got an injury result better than a stun. (the crowd have still caused more casualties than my team though

)

allmost 2-0 .. the ball was not caught but is a long way into thad's half, with most of the stunties out of range ..

most of the Norse out of range as well BTW

In finished action, my Elves defeated Jaylazer's Wood Elves 4-3 in what was a very close game.

Neither team was able to mount much of a defensive stand and the game really came down to an ill-timed blitz in the second half with the ball scattering to the front line and allowing me to get a catcher under it surrounded by my own players to steal a drive and score.

With my first game ever coaching Elves (or even being in any game with them), 3 NoS catchers, a passer, and 2 blitzers, with money to spare for two rerolls is really pretty sick.

Its all gone pear shaped. The dice have been hating on me pretty much all the second half, and I still only have a grand total of 1 ko and no cas.

With one turn left to score I need a miracle that Dave is unlikely to allow me a chance at. Looks like 1-0 to FearYeNoOrdeal in a game plagued by horrible dice rolls on both sides.

Post the dice summary from the end of the game so we can see if it just your perception or real bad dice. After the post game is started ... save the game and then load it up and quit without doing anything. This will add the stats to the pbemstat.log and you'll be able to cut and paste them from there to the board.

On another note, it looks like my Amazon team is about to go up 1-0 against Seannewboy's Skaven in a turn 8 score. P.M.S. have inflicted 3 CAS and 3 KOs (including both GRs) in the first half and we await to see from the half time KOs roll how many players Sean will have in the 2nd half to face my 11 with the 'Zons receiving. Somewhere between 6 and 9 ... I'm hoping for 7 without the GRs.
