Orc Help

I started a new orc team on Fumbbl (http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team& ... _id=129075), and i was having a little trouble with it. My first game ended as a draw, but i feel i should have won it. I had ball control for 6 Turns of the first half, and could not score on his chaos team. The second half went better, and i scored on turn eight, but i feel i should have come out winning 2-1, not with a draw. And to make things worse, my blitzer niggles on the first turn... I tried giving the ball to my thrower in the first half, and that didnt work well, so in the second half i gave it to a blitzer, who scored, but had some... erm... difficulties picking up the ball, buring my re rolls

so, my question is, with the nine guys that i have on my team now, how do i win the next game against probably a full strength roster?

pick a starting elf team, or a badly hurt team as yours. that requires some patience, but you can easily get a balanced game in the open system of fumbbl.

if it were ranked, it might be easier, but this is in faction, where its hard enough to find games as it is...

although ill probably be able to find some nice fluffy elves to play

and my less-than-100 tr will be condusive to good winnings, too. need 80k to replace that niggled blitzer

Well, played another game, and by the end of the first half, my thrower died, and another blitzer niggled, so i retired those guys and went back to skaven

Yeah, orcs are waaaaay more fragile than skavens.

Well, my skavens break less easily than those orcs did, and i can actually score with them.

I started a new orc team, and in the first game, one blitzer died (second turn), but everyone else is fine, and i now have an apoth, and 10k in the treausry. Hopefully these guys will be luckier than the last, and ill be able to field more than 8 guys for game three!

That's the difference when playing fummbl and playing on the board.

I dislike these algorithms.
