Hawk52: -snip-

iippo: few tips if i may:

- Dont let the big guys get too isolated, Morg failed because he got surrounded by like half of Dodo's team.

-Foul. Foul. Foul. Foul. Foul. Halflings are meant to gang foul the opposition, show no pity for - youre playing halflings after all, so no matter what you do, youll still be the extreme underdog anyways.

-Throw halflings. Especially in first half, there were some juicy groups of chaos players - throw halfling there, then second one. Sure your halflings may get hurt, but they die happy if they get to fly. Also you may injure opponent as well. Also i -think- it doesnt cause turnover to you.

-Throw team mate scoring. Last half, the last kick off. With a bit better positioning you could have tried to leave one halfling next to tree, then as first action try to pick up the ball and then give/pass it to that halfling, which ofcourse the tree would ttm over the chaos line of players and with some luck score. anyways, the ball would be somewhere else than on your side of the pitch.

-Halflings are kinda "thriller team", so playing too "safe" and not taking those foul/TTM risks will just get you grinded off the pitch sooner or later.

-On positive side of things, after playing a season with halflings, just about any team will feel like its made of Supermen :)

OT:

I'll take your tips to heart. For me personally, I have absolutely no expectations to win a game. Ever. Just being halfway competitive is a victory for me.

As long as I get to do some crazy/hilarious moves like tackling a Beastman with three red dice and pulling it off, or employing a "SWARM THEM" tactic and surrounding the ball carrier with as many halflings as I can to make the most useless wall ever, I'll be amused.

Psyringe: Does anyone know the best way to contact Michal? I had to leave for a few days, and now want to arrange my match with him. Since time is running short, I wanted to make sure that I reach him. I did send him a message through the Blood Bowl contact system and a PM here on GOG, just want to make sure that I don't miss him.
Michal posted this about three days ago:

Hawk52: Since I came back from the emergency room and was still up, we decided to go ahead and have our game. Honestly, and this sounds idiotic considering I lost two players and 80% of my squad was injured and maimed, but it went a lot better this time.

According to this guide (which I really like and can relate to):

you're doing perfectly fine.

It was an interesting match when I noticed all my rerolls were gone, but I really don't see what Hawk could have done. Well maybe throw halflings at you, that sounds fun. Combined with a wizard that could make things interesting.

I'm really bad at this game, with my main strategy punching stuff, and put against that the halflings really looked like a suicide squad.

For those of you who would like to spectate:
The match between Rodzaju's Lizarmen Team "DinoSaurus" and WereCrow's Chaos Team "MooMooCows" is on right now!

That was the hardest match I've had in this league since Iipp0 last year.
The chaos boys were KOing my players at a rate of knots.
I managed to score at the end of the first half, but as the second half wore on I was starting to worry that I wouldn't have enough players left to stop him equalising.
I was crying "Not another draw... will I ever manage to beat this guy?"
A swarm of skinks did the job just inches away from my endzone, though.
Game ended 1-0.

We had quite few people following the match live, pretty intense match..although not nearly as bloody as i thought it would be. Were did make it up in KO's though. :)

The dodge-side stepping skinks seem rather annoying obstacles if you dont have tackle.

I was surprised when he used his apo on the moni to prevent a KO.
But then my apo did his best to kill my saurus when I called him on....

"Sir, Coach, the Saurus is injured and has a damaged back."
C: "Get the Apo!"
Apo comes.
C: "So, Apo, do your job."
Apo:"OK, let's put him out of his misery."

Without my Mino I am seriously on the disadvantage powerwise. Yeah the Apo could have saved my ballcarrier at the end but it was more important to keep my Mino for the second half. I think it did pay off thouhg.

2 choices:
Wait until they upload the replay
Or
Wait for the match to end.
Once it shows a finished, but before it disappears from the list, you can then watch it.
