Recreational games?

[Idanmel]

Anyone want to play some games?

[xJammer]

You mean like sports? ^^

[Idanmel]

I mean like Blood bowl games that are not part of our upcoming cup. :-)

[LtSpinx]

Sure.

Wyld and I played in the old RT league. His Chaos murderers vs my Wood Elves.

After we started the game I realized it was a team I set up before I knew anything about the game, and so never bought any rerolls for them while his chaos team had 5. Fortunately, his team was 590 team value up, so I bought the Halfling's Chef, which game me a total of 5 rerolls in the game, and a treeman.

First Half
First turn I got to receive and on the first block I knocked out his Minotaur, which would only come back for the last turn of the match. I tried cowering in the back while his players came blitzing on my thrower. He was cornering me down really well, and so I had to go for a crazy move... I threw the ball to a line man, which handed it off to a catcher, which dodged 3 times and managed two go for its! A turn or so later I scored.

The brave elves thought it was a no contact sport, so they tried keeping their distance from the Chaosers... And miraculously the first half ended with only 1 touchdown.

Second Half
Wyld received the ball, and started stomping. He advanced threw the right side, while the elves still tried to avoid contact. Twice a beastman ran all the way to the TD line to wait for a pass that never came. Twice the elves pushed a beastman behind their own TD line. But in the end a wise beastman had enough, and instead of waiting for a pass, took the ball and ran to the TD. 1-1.

The elves received and after on the second move a thrower handed the ball off to a catcher who found an opening and ran with the ball 11 squares (8+3 go for its). The chaos team started running back, with one guy using 1 go for it to get next to the catcher and another beastman using 2 go for it's to for blitzing. Luckily the Catcher dodged away from the blitz, and than dodged twice to the TD. 2-1.

With only 1 moves left each, we both ended our turns and shook hands over the internet.

Thanks Wyld!

I enjoyed the read, thanks.

Anyone up for a "pre-season friendly" tomorrow at SG time?

I believe what we have learned from His Spikynesses experience is don't mess with MrChaos

If I manage to assemble my IKEA Sofa-bed by than, I'm all for it.

Although I'm kinda pissed at Blood Bowl right now. I managed to knock out 1 player in 3 games, 2 of them against teams with AV7, while every game about 5 of my AV8 players are either injured or KO'd.

I lost my Rat Ogre and lv5 2nd highest scoring gutter runner in 1 SP match. Took soooo many games until I could afford to "replace" them both.

That's what playing Skaven is always like so far add I can tell.
