Psyringe: This was, without doubt, the worst match that my team ever played. The result:

- I lost the match 2-3
- My oldest catcher, who had two extra skills, died (my mistake, I forgot to change the apo result)
- One of my wardancers died. She was level 4, together with the catcher that's 54 skill points lost to the team.
- My other wardancer received a -AG injury. Agility is the one attribute that a wardancer can't live without. That's another 38 skill points that will be a lot less effective in the future.
- One of my linemen suffered another casualty
- After the match, my TV has decreased by 500 points
Holy crap o.O

You name it. ;)

Btw, I just ran the match through the statistics tool ...

Skill rolls: +0.65 (Skaven) vs. -9.79 (Woodies)
Injury rolls: +21.65 vs. -12.57
Block success: 60% vs. 43%

No wonder ... ;)
Btw, while we're at "Fun with numbers", I thought I'd do an analysis of my dice luck this season so far ... here are the results.

Legend:

M = Match Day
Skill = Skill rolls (mine/opponent). Numbers mean: -10 = unlucky, 0 = average, 10 = lucky
Injury = Injury and armor rolls (mine/opponent). Numbers mean: +20 = extremely lucky, +10 = lucky, 0 = average, -10 = unlucky, -20 = extremely unlucky
Block = blocking success (mine/opponent) in percentages

M __Skill ____ Injury __ Block
1 __ 0 / 10 __ 23 / 20 __ 70 / 51
2 __ -2 / -1 __ -2 / 14 __ 55 / 40
3 __ -6 / 1 __ -10 / 4 ___ 50 / 58
4 __ 0 / 6 ___ -4 / 16 __ 46 / 58
5 _ -10 / 1 __ -13 / 22 __ 43 / 60

What do the numbers mean?
- I never had a match with "lucky" skill rolls so far in this season
- I had one match with extremely lucky injury rolls, the four others are negative
- I have consistently worse skill rolls than my opponents, and for the last 4 weeks it's continually getting worse
- Excepting the first match, I have consistently worse injury rolls than my opponents, and it's getting worse
- In 80% of my matches, my opponents have very lucky injury rolls against me (sometimes extremely so)
- My block dice started very good, but became worse with each match, and are now abysmal

Is Nuffle trying to tell me something? ;)

What's interesting, though, is that I'm still in a pretty decent position in the league. With 3 victories in 5 matches, and most of the returning teams already out of the way, my position looks better than my dice luck would suggest. We'll see whether my team can live up to the challenge! In any case, we won't go down without a fight. ;)

DO NOT WANT TO FACE ANOTHER CHAOS TEAM.
It was a hard match. I was not able to break the moral of Natural Disaster team, even after early major loses (catcher and after a brilliant foul, the wardancer). Till round 14 it looks like a tie or narrow victory for Psyringe, but his catcher tripped over his shoes on the 3rd gfi and felt down in the TD zone :-/. That was of course chance for my runners and they easily scored in turn 15.

If anyone would like to see nice clash of two agility team, I recommend that you watch the replay. And beware the Psyringe, he will get tons of inducement for the next games and with his skills catchers will capitalize on any mistake and score.

Can't be that, I haven't played him yet!

Also to Psyringe; while yes it sucks to have to re-level up your wardancers, perhaps you could look at this as an opportunity to build them in a different way?

Theoretically yes, though I was pretty happy with the skill set that they had/have. ;) Reskilling would have been a good idea further into future, when many teams might apply skills that cancel out some of those I gave my wardancers, but we aren't there yet by a long shot.

I do see it as an opportunity to get an attribute upgrade on a wardancer though. ;) Also, wardancers are not particularly hard to level up, since they come with a good set of skills out of the box. We'll be back, no doubt about that. :)

What's frustrating, though, is that I had really high hopes for my team for this season. But due to continually bad dice, the entire season feels like stemming a weight that Nuffle put on my shoulders. For a while, I managed pretty well despite the weight, and it was fun, but I also expected that weight to go away at some point. Instead, it has utterly crushed me now.

But that's Blood Bowl, or sports in general. If we can't handle lying crushed in the mud at times, the we shouldn't compete, and play single player games with cheat modes instead. ;) The nice thing in Blood Bowl is that no matter how destroyed you are, you can always come back - and showing Nuffle the finger after overcoming a bad streak will feel so much sweeter. ;) (And as I said - while it really hurts to lose these players or have them crucially injured, my position in the league is still not bad, so I'll take up the challenge.)

Saturday Noon PST/19.00 Arnob's time, Deathgate faceoff with the End Boss Brawlers!
So who exactly took Steviec85's place? Or is there even someone who took his place? I would like to schedule our match if possible.

it is not yet taken for sure - Starshipp posted before, but i have yet to receive confirmation one way or the other.

So atm its still considered "First come, first served".
2-1 win for Hanno.

Lots of tough injuries. Gonna be playing with a skeleton crew next week on blitzers.

Season is officially in the trash can as just about every bashy team remains ahead. JOY.
