Wise choice, against this decimated team you should well stand a chance. The skink hunt should be even easier now (well, actually EVERYTHING will be easier against 9).

....you should well stand a chance

Well, game is just over.... and i won again !!

AND I WON 7:0 !!!!

Sometimes i was happy, if my orc team scored 4-5 times in a whole tournament !!!

The lizzies arrived with 8 players : 4 sauris and 4 skinks. For a handicap roll his team got a talented Sauri Fan for this game only. So it was 9 against 11 players.

I will cut it short... his sauris didnt do anything... just pushing my linemen around, hardly bringing one of them down. I hunted his skinks down so the last 6 turns at second half there where no skinks on the pitch anymore.

He blitzed every turn once without doing anything and didnt stop me scoring every 2 turns... mostly with my blitzers.

Normaly bad games like this happend to me. The opponent coach took it very well with lots of fun. He started cheering when there was no injuries on his skinks...

One of his skinks, which went KO at the beginning, stayed out of the game for 5 turns... always rolling a 1 !!! I hardly saw more bad dice rolls in a game before !!

All this " game" ended with 7:0 TDs and 2:1 CASs for my team ! The team got another FF, so FF10 now. And lots of money.... 90.000 !!! I still have to check, which of my players got enough SPPsfor a new skill.

EDIT: One catcher and one blitzer will get their first skills. Just have to roll the dice in front of the organisators later...

I dont knew, if the league organisation will believe us ...

And IÂ´m really afraid... way to much luck in game... leaving how many luck in love now ?

So much for worrying about how to beat Lizardmen then. That game should put your team in a nice position spp-wise. Did any of you players skill up after that blowout.

Got my skill dice rolls for the last game.
A second blitzer got +1 MA

and i will give Block to one of my Catchers.

I got 140.000 gold now and iÂ´m thinking to buy a Ogre now... maybe a good choice against the Dwarfen team i will play next ? I think, with FF 10 i should earn enough money next game to buy my second thrower, too.

The only thing i dont like is my quite high TR... it will give some others some handicap rolls i guess.

You could buy a reroll to get your team value down!

Ogres are not so good against dwarves with trollslayers and some guarders

Game 3 ist over, too.

I bought a nice Ogre called " Troll "

to keep some dwarfs occupied. And as the Dwarf got just one skill ... a Mighty Blow and no Guarder... so far, it worked quite well.

The other team got one Handicap Roll .... the Dwarfs filled my Thrower up Â´til his ears in the taverne the night before, so for this game he was really " boneheaded".

Turn 1... both bonehead endangered guys decided both to be boneheaded !!!

Turn 2 ... one of my Blitzers was killed ... and healed again from my very beloved healer !!

Turn 3 ... my team took the ball back and scored turn 4. Another TD for my team 4 turns later.
There was a bit anoying moment when my ball carrying thrower went Bonehead. But i protected him well and so the team scored on turn later.
The dwarfs scored last turn second half. So the game ended 3:1 for my team.

Three wins in a row....

The Trollslayer, which went KO Turn 3 didnt come come back until Turn 4 second half !

A bad thing for the Dwarf was the only one RR, too. Some turns ended quite fast because of double skulls.

The two +1MA blitzers of my team worked very well again. All 3 TD were scored by the blitzers. One of them will get a skill or trait. I have to roll for it later today.

With 80.000 gold and no MNGs or Injuries iÂ´m thinking to buy a second thrower now. Or to save for another RR to get my high TR lower.

Looks like my team is at position one of the league at the moment. But next time i have to play some Darkelf... very well painted ones !

Wow. Looks like you're just a natural Human player.

I'd save for the 3rd reroll, personally.

traveller · Post by **traveller** » Thu May 11, 2006 7:02 am

Uff.... under witnesses i rolled the blitzer second skill.... 5+5

So i got me a +2 MA Blitzer... 9 MA !! Maybe i should sell the catchers now ?!

I think, i will save for the third RR. But FF 11 helps a lot for RRs, too. I got quite a few as kickoff events. End of the last game i still got 4 RR left !!!!

Now if only you could get these results at tournaments!

traveller · Post by **traveller** » Thu May 11, 2006 7:15 am

IÂ´m using this STARS prog at the NAF website... hm, one of my blitzers rolled for a second skill and got another +1MA. But i cant find another +1 MA at the playerÂ´s modify list ?! Bug ? Or is there another possibility ?

Yep, Mark, true... i got a similiar thought, too.

I have to paint this team... at last for the Bubble i have to finish it. But i will try to get it ready for the B7. Maybe not finished, but ready to play... at last 3 colors

Hi Traveller,

first of all congratulations for your great performance with your Human team

!

Did you finally decide to give the +MA to your Blitzer? As it was a double 5 maybe Dodge or Stand Firm can be considered too. Both would help to maximise his mobility. Esp. Stand Firm is such great skill as you can dodge around without fear of a turnover.
Frenzy might be worth consideration too, as together with his great MA he alone can threaten to push your opponent from the pitch and therefore it would open the sidelines for your Catchers and other Blitzers...

But MA 9 is also great, imo you would do nothing wrong to keep the +MA.

Cheers

Well, i forgot to post my last two games.
Here the short version:

Game 4 against the great painted Darkelves of MickMoon.
One of my guys got a " bonehead trait " as handicap roll...

His elves were a bit haunted by bad luck... lots of ones again for him.
My team won again 2:1 and 2.1 cas for me, too.

Fourth win in row...

and my ogre, doing his necessary cas this game, rolling a double, got block !

Game 5 against a Dwarf team. I bought a third reroll before the game to bring down my TR. Still the coach got a handicap roll and got a talented Blitzer from his fans for this game only...

Quite a fight, a long game with lots of thinking... and ended as draw 1:1 and also Cas 1:1.
One blitzer got his first skill... He will get Guard, i think. And the +1 MA Blitzer got his second skill, which iÂ´m not sure about. Tackle maybe as i have to play skaven next. Would be nice to have a fast blitzer hunting gutterrunners

Or guard to protect my fast catchers ? I forgot to roll for money and FF. If i get enough money i will buy my second thrower finaly.

You are pretty lucky with your human team. Roling Doubles for the Big Guy or getting MA for blitzers.

5 games in this way and next time you will win a tournament.

greetings miko
