So it has begun, some may have won, great wheel has spun.
In the end... there can only be one.

Lars: I will be in Shanghai for one week, 22/2 to 1/3. It would be great if we can play this game on 2/3. If that is not possible we might have to consider an admin loss for me.

So.. Equilibri, when can your Orc's :o come out and play?
21 CET is the game hour for me more or less whenever we decide to play.
Days are quite open, so grab one right away as they'll be booked quite fast as we move in to the week.
Wednesday and Thursday is right now, not so good to take.
Just closed

Howdy-how, Gurgeh! Time to see if your lightning fast werewolf can handle my drunk-strong werewolfs.
I busted my knee ligaments on weekend, so I'm pretty much sitting home this week on evenings and there are lots of options for gaming. I can start on following times (CET/gmt+1):
- Monday - Thursday 17-22 (Friday might also be doable if I don't recover fast enough)
- Satudray any time
- Sunday any time before 21
Let me know which one those suits you, sir.

Hi! Maybe this is the week I'll stop trying to play orcs as if they were elves! Surely can't go much worse than the first outing.
So, Thursday at 20:15 could work I _think_. I may have to bail on that, but if I do, I'll give at least half a day advance warning. Failing that, I'm afraid I'm away this weekend, but I'll be home in time for a Sunday evening game if that works for you.
A thriller of a match sees Elves and Lizards draw 2-2 after Nuffle severely cursing both parties. Thanks for a great match Golden and gl further on!

That time should work, although you will have a severe advantage. Physically I will be in swedish time zone but mentally in SH time zone ==> I will be very very tired.
Sorry to read about your losses in the first match. I got one dead blitzer in the first day so I'm also a bit massacred, although not as bad as you.

Sorry mate, I'm afraid I can't do Thursday evening, and I am away for the weekend. I aim to be back home relatively early on Sunday if you have an opening there. If not, I'm afraid it's going to have to be next week.

Yes, that should be perfect!
That was a totally unfair match. The first half was ok. I managed to score a TD and then stop the norsemen from doing the same. The real unfairness started in the other half. First, none of his three knocked out players came back. Then I got a blitz and a werewolf managed the impressive feat of kicking the ball and then running over half the court to catch his own kick. And the game kept going like that. In the second to last turn the ball bounced straight into the arms of a werewolf who managed to put the final nail in the coffin with a third TD.
Hm... I see the game is uploaded twice. Did I make some mistake or did we both upload it?
(http://bbm.jcmag.fr/BloodBowlManager.WebSite/ImageMatchReport.aspx?Id=275647&lang=en&bg=orca)
- Mr. Babblemoth! Mr. Babblmoth! What say yee to the acquisitions that the products of the Fantasy Armor Inc. are more likely to cause and maintain knock-outs than help prevent them?
- Why, that is ridicilous! All the armor from the Fantasy Armor Inc are guaranteed safe and sexy! They have proven to be very effective. I deduct that you refer to our team's latest game against the Wolf Hall. May I remind you that none, I say none, of our players suffered any permanent injury!
- Yes, but you must consider that three players were knocked out early and then the staff were unable to revive them even if they had three goes of it, that is very unlikely, last time that happened was when the Happy Lucky Halfling Chefs played against the orcish HITZ!, and even the knocked-out orc players from that match have admitted that they just pretended to be knocked out so that they wouldn't have to return to the field. I'm hearing rumours that your armor is too tight and thus prevents oxygen flow which hinders the knock-out recovery. How do you comment?
- By it's nature armor has to be tight to provide coverage, that I admit. But our products are designed to be safe and unhindering, thus they are not too tight, just tight enoug to be sexy! But now I must run, I have a meeting with a skink leather importer, have to get some insight into our next opponent!
This was an interesting match. Two of my players got KOd in the first defence and when 1 only out of 8 of my KO rolls succeeded that meant I was playing at least 2 men down all the match. Top that with a blitz on my first offence where wolf managed to get under the ball and catch it, with the 1/5 pickup success rate and Perfect defence on my second offence and you have an extremely frustrating second half. Even some bad luck from Gurgeh at the second half didn't help me as my guys just had forgotten how to move and handle the ball. Nice game from Gurgeh. Good luck in rest of the games!
Add-on: I removed the extra upload.

Well, the whole game it seemed like it was pouring rain but somebody forgot to start the visual effects...
Lots of fumbling with the ball from both sides but the demons managed to steal the ball during the orcs half and score a TD.
Second half the demons fumbled the ball out in the crowd and they threw it in so it landed on the orcs half close to a couple of blitzers and the thrower... 8 turns later a lucky Black Orc that got the ball on a bounce could score the final score.
Two skills on Black Orcs (one of them did all 3 cas in this game...) so the game was a win for Da Freeboooterz!
Thanx for the game, MrB!
Your welcome!
It was a nice game that really swung back and forth..
Again it went NOOOO to Ooohh this could be it.. just to get slammed shut NONONO again.
And so it went, One skill for my boys catching the MVP made the shit.. also same dude scored the first TD for this team.. so well earned.
And now goblins next.. Tackle smells quite Ok to pick even if Block sounds better.
What do you think Muller ::)
Weren't Orcs supposed to be easy to play? And hard to kill? :D
Anyway, that was a rough game between my Orcs and Luiggi's Chaos side, which featured a lot of bashing, turnovers, and not a single touchdown. Imagine that. It also featured a dead Orc blitzer, which I'm not too happy about. Oh well, at least my team didn't roll over and give up like last match.. here's to match day 3 following up the positive trend!
(http://bbm.jcmag.fr/BloodBowlManager.WebSite/ImageMatchReport.aspx?Id=276082&lang=en)
...yup, missing my wood elves already.
Anyway, thanks for the game Luiggi, it was at least interesting positionally.
Orcs and Chaos settle for a 0-0 tie in what was a very interesting match dominated by both defences. With no skill to perform any sort of magic with the ball, the game kept going in a bashfest with lots of stuns but very few removals. The brawl got really violent in the second half after the crowd killed one of the visitor's Blitzers, and sadly that was the most relevant play of the match (apart from a throw from the crowd into a beastman's hands... talk about the Home Factor!).
The minotaur performed admirably, knocking out a black orc and then injuring another one in the first turns. The orc's MVP was a blocker who dealt a key casualty near the end of the match, and thus he got a well earned promotion.
Another 1 on the winnings roll got me stuck with only 60k... I thought I'd be able to get another CW by now but I guess I can't complain, the beastmen got punished today but fortunately only Badly Hurts happened.
Thanks for the game, kvasilad, really nice one with skulls, turnovers, crazy bounces, solid defence and ultimately a (imo) fair result for what was seen on the pitch.
PS: If you don't mind the advice... I think you should try not to start your drive with the team split in half (10 players on the LOS and only the thrower in the back). Orcs are very vulnerable until they get the cage at midfield, so it's always a good idea to have some pieces escorting in the backfield in case things get ugly... I think this mistake put you in a very uncomfortable position vs Lizards and this game I could also mark your carrier by turn 1.
Yup, thanks for the advice, I do seem to consistently fail at caging up with these guys, so I guess I do need to be less aggressive.
The wood elves suffered hard in their first game and the trend continued when I scored the first BH already in round 1. Basically I played with 1 or 2 or sometimes even 3 guys more on the field the entire game. So it did not feel as even as the numbers might indicate.
First half the woodies started with the ball. In the beginning they formed a cage and tried to get me dizzy by switching sides every turn. I played it easy and just marked his guys as much as possible. He was faster than me but not by much so when he finally managed to pass my line, he only got 2 escort girls with him. I could get the ball loose and after he failed two GFI in two consecutive turns I could score 1-0 in turn 8.
In the second half I started according to plan. I.e. passed the ball twice just to level up two guys and then formed a cage. Was prepared to start moving when his war dancer did her crazy stunt and just waltzed through my entire defence and stole the ball. Lasseman had placed is guys masterly. All my guys were marked and I could only get 1D blocks. Despite that I managed to get my witch in range to make a 2D block vs the war dancer, but got some skulls. He could then run away and play it safely for a few turns before he scored in turn 13.
3 turns to score. Turn 14, got the ball and built a cage, also got some threat into his half so he had to split his forces. Good. Turn 15. Ran to the left side and positioned my entire team there. 5 guys in potential striking distance. Good. But the Wood elves defence were good, after a series of blocks and chain pushes I only had one guy within scoring distance in turn 16. And he was not in a good position. Anyway, 1 block later I could score if I succeeded with a 2+, 4+, 3+, 2+. Not too bad since I had a RR. Let's go, hand over, Dodge, Dodge, RR, GFI and yes, score, 2-1.
(http://bbm.jcmag.fr/BloodBowlManager.WebSite/ImageMatchReport.aspx?Id=276083&lang=en)
P.S: Lars, you should probably try to avoid getting into contact with my guys as much as you did. AV 7 with no defensive skills tend to get hurt if they are too close...

Yikes, you must have gotten at least 3 or 4 level ups, MD 3 is going to be a walk in the park for the Elves against my rookie Chaos :P
