TL DR: This image perfectly explains the match: http://i.imgur.com/Jp6Nw09.jpg


The game starts, and it began snowing... this was a bad sign... Elves without long passes... doable sure, but... very risky.

Still, we took this not as a bad omen, but as a coincidence. The smells of the halfing cook and the good beer babes cheered our spirits.

Kick off! -2/+2 reroll!

We suffered a blitz, when we were on the receiving end.

We failed a pick up, an elf, failing to pick up, causing our first block to give us two red dice.

On turn 2, we lost the ball, and it was picked up by a minataur.

All hope is lost. But.... we will fight to the death.

On turn 3, an elf catcher decided to take one go for it, and knocked himself out of the field.


it was 11 to 8...

Should I use the wizard? no... it is not time...

Just a little bit more...

on turn 4, the minataur smashed -1 str on a lineman.. My apocathary was useless! causing it to become nigging injury instead...


turn 5. Now. Use it now, Fireball now!

I am sorry, Verphendon Cromlond. You to, shall be targeted.

BOOM
DING DONG
THE Minataur is dead!
Which old minataur?
THe wicked minataur!

Wait. Apo... FUuuuuuu I can't begrudge that... Apo, no injury, damn it, he'll be back the next round, god damn..

Still, this was a lucky break, as the minataur was holding the ball. We managed to pick up the ball and score it.

(HALF TIME)

kickoff! -1/+1 reroll!
11 players vs 10 elves

go time.

It was a war of attrition... we just need to hold out for 8 turns, and we will win. Forming a tight formation, we went on the defence. Kicking the ball to the midfield, the elves kicker missed due to the snow, and it landed on the elves side of the field...

The minataur gets the ball. A bad omen once again.
Turn 9! Miraculeous luck! from a red skull to defender down one dice block, a beastman is knocked out!

it's 10 vs 10, and a glimmer of hope appeared on the elves team.

The elves eventually had the minataur surrounded in all 9 squares. It would be a continous war of pushing shoving and blocking.

When mighty catcher Kanonion Tunuviel did a mighty heroic act. Both down. In a heroic action, Kanonion wore a luche mask, jumping up and face faulting himself and the minataur into the ground, the ball bounced, and the nearby catcher gets the ball!

Yes! it's time to go! bring the ball away!

ThROW IT!

(scatter launch)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

Turn 12,
a second linesman get's sent off the field due to a KO...

Right, we can run an elf there to catch the ball... If it bounces out of the field, no one can get it. Grab the ball, elf lineman..

(He fails to pick up the ball in a roll of 3+)

FUUUU

hold on, relax, relax, we can get a blitzer there. Go for it!
A one dice block against a 4 str warrior, he picks up the ball!

"I gave you dodge for a reason Herion Tunuviel. If anyone is a star player, it would be you. You make me proud. "

Two dice block against my star player. Push/ defender stumbles.

Dodge turns it into a push.

And he runs away!

Herion tunuviel with his 7 MA makes a run for it. He's unopposed! He's in the clear!

TOUCHDOWNnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

2-0

Um, not much to add to such a summary.

Short side of my story:
That fireball hurt, a lot. Only good thing to come from this match was saving the minotaur, this was he'll be lvl 4 at the end of the next game.
But from a sure, but slow push, my game just fell apart from that moment on. The halfling chef just added more problems by stealing my rerolls. Good thing my beloved minotaur has Pro.

Dreamouse, where are you?

I'm looking forward to seeing how you plan to spend 760K in inducements....

One question though, the minotaur has Claw and Pro, what would be the next best upgrade?

Personally i tend to take guard as first skill up for big guys. Although mino has access to mutations - so tentacles are pretty nice as well. Keeps those juicy opponents close to you - just where you want them to be :)

Also, if i got double (even +STR!) id go straight for block. but thats just me ofcourse.

Think I'll go STR or Block, whatever comes first.

if i remember correctly, str comes only at double. 6+6 i think.

Granny needs a new pair of shoes...


One other thing, I'll have to forfeit my next game, got a chance for short vacation (7-8 days) so I'll be absent during the next league day.

Aside from the dead player (though the game tried to make me get that too), that was me last week against Pogo.

Do I sense a pattern emerging? Does Pogo just have this innate ability to force awful luck on the opposition?

Hmm... She IS a ninja... And they are said to have mystical abilities...

No comment ;P
I will upload the Replay tomorrow, my husband has to go to work in about 6 hours, so we will go to bed now :)

short answer: yes.

:)

When I played her last season, we had to reschedule because she was busy making sacrifice to Nurgle (she was ill!)
When we did get to play, i left with a dead player....
