Ok, Mr J-Reedy, Wizard who brings new colors to our life, seems our teams are about to meet this match day.

I have still not figured out your team name, seems to be some chaotic language that no sane person can understand, but regardless of that we are prepared to face you tomorrow (friday) starting at 19-21 or any time on Sunday. Next week can also be discussed, perhaps monday or tuesday evening 18-21 would work?

With hopes of a sane answer /hakos

P.S: I actually like the new look on the forum

Board gaming night has moved to Friday, so that is a no go. But Sunday is totally free, so how about at 12 CET on Sunday? Tuesday at 18 is a suitable backup if something comes up on Sunday.

Match between many ogres vs one ogre shows that one ogre is far superior.
Match stared with many ogres receiving ball they managed to pick the ball up with one of the tiny ogres and move forward to some protection. From the one ogre team they started to mark ogres to avoid a throw of tiny ogre + ball, and also use the designated hunter blitzer blitzer to blitz the tiny ones for removal. After some back an forthwith both teams loosing the ball. The one ogres managed to smuggle the ball towards the endzone where they stayed scoring in round 8. Meanwhile blitzing and blocks managed to remove most of the tiny ogres. At halftime none of the tiny ogres wanted to get back on the field. This allowed the one ogre team to dominate the pitch. and to add to this misery nuffle decided that on the next to chances they had to wake up and join the others on the field only one decided to do so. The one that choose to join the game again immediately got hit by a stone tossed by an ogre hate in the audience. Last turn for the one ogre team was going to allow for one more goal if GFI was passed but the humor of nuffle showed its ugly face once more and made him trip on the goal line.

Good luck  in the future Bantha and get some nasty skills on those big ogres.

Memofin, I can do Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday evenings it seems, that is 19:00-22:00 CET starting time. If that really doesn't work, let me know your availability, and I can see what I can accomodate.

MAD! w3 C0me5 2 pIAy 8LOody B0wL an&d WE MAD! sO W3 8a5H MAD!

After unsuccesfull attempt in trying to get an understandeable comment from one of the Chaos Dwarfs in the So Pro Mad Serfs team we return to our normal report. The Chaos Dwarf side had clearly took to heart the lesson they learned from their first game, namely that hitting opponents down doesn't do any good if you don't hurt them. Even the armor made of Swedish steel couldn't protect the Steel of Sweden players when the Dwarfs adapted their new style of hitting through the armor and not at the armor.

Dwarfs started on the offence with a Hogoblin picking up the ball and advancing to midfield where he was blitzed down. Ball ended up in the stands and was thrown in the Dwarf side where the shorter side (on average) recovered the ball. However, as the advance to midfield was done with a side change, both teams had their players all over the field and there was no way of keeping the carrier totally safe. With time running out, Chaos side had to go for the goal with an unprotected Hogoblin solo run. Bretonnian Blitzer took down the carrier and picked up the ball. There was a slim chance of TD for Bretonnians but that chance dried up on a failed dodge that ended the half.

Second half, Steel of Sweden started their offence with 2 man disadvantage as Ericsson brother had been injured out on the first half. After a strong start where four Chaos players ended up on the ground the Blitzer sent to pick up the ball fumbled. Dwarf side went all in, marking every player on the Bretonnian side except for the would-be ball carrier who got the ball up on his second attempt (or rather third attempt if the failed first down pickup is calculated in). After getting the ball, the Blitzer ran to the right flank. Chaos side repeated their marking of all Bretonnians, keeping most of the Steelers out of action of protecting the ball. Failed Bretonnian dodge attempt to support a block that would have opened a running lane ended with an injured dodger and gave the Dwarfs opportunity at the ball and so down went the carrier. Some pushbacks later two Bretonnian Blitzer were sent to the stands and Chaos side had the game in total control. Winning TD was walked in on the final seconds of the half.

Hakos played a nice defensive half on the first but as I got lucky with two removals, the second half was an uphill struggle for him. Most of the unluck shown in the stats came in 2nd half and really decided the outcome. Meanwhile my Dwarfs just kept getting up after every block that downed them. Thanks again for the game, Hakos, well played as always but it was up to Nuffle today.

Hello Gnaar.

It's winter holiday here in Finland and I have my children with me until Wednesday noon(ish), so I could see some orcs die come Wednesday evening.

I'm EET (GMT +2) so I hope we could start 19.00 CET. That sound OK to you?

Ah, stupid me. Yes, I meant 22 EET and 21 CET. For some reason I mistook CET for GMT.

Thank you for correcting me, I'll see you tomorrow at 21 CET.

In a brief interview with Coach Gnaarkill directly after the match, mr. Gnaarkill stated:
"I dont know what the f*** I was doing out there, Elves are a different kind for sure. And those Witch Elves, boy... See but not touch I tell you, for sure! I learned the hard way.
Aaaanyway, no time for more questions, sorry. I have a boat to catch for Lustria. We have a training camp over there and after that, a match vs that other new guy, Memofin was it, right?
Well smell ya later!"

A bit later the Coach of the Old Skool Orks gave a statement about the game:
"We played a decent game. One of our players scored a Touchdown, but we have already punished him for running away from the fight."

It was one of those games. Nuffle did not like norse at all. never seen that many skulls for one player.

From the first turn on, lizards were able to go deep on the norse side of the field and bring on some pressure. Tags got some really unlucky rolls for trying to pick up the ball and some unlucky turnovers, that lead to lizards to be able score twice on their defensive drive.

On second half things got little better for norse. They were able to surf one of the poor skinks to the crowd. Crowd seemed to be pretty angry for the lack of blood and killed that poor poor skink (rest in peace Catherine <3)

All in all it was fun game and I really enjoyed playing with Tags. I hope that in the next game Nuffle would show some love to the norse too <3

Had some pretty rough blocking dice in the first half especially, with helpful smatterings of double skulls and skull -> RR -> skull when I tried a couple of 1d blocks against sauruses (saurii?), making it pretty hard to accomplish anything really. But I think I managed to laugh about it instead of getting grumpy, so at least I'll take that as a personal win :P

Anyway, well played Memofin, I'm pretty sure you would've won this regardless of dice, and I did escape with no permanent injuries, so it could've been worse!
