Match Day 1 has been forwarded, so it's time for Day 2. Play on, mates!

Equilibri, the Champ himself. Time for us to see if one of us manages to recover from a rotten start. Here are my OK CET starting times for the next few days:

- Wednesday 17-20
- Friday 19-21
- Saturday - suggest a start time before Thursday and I should be able to make it happen.
- Sunday 10-18

Let me know if any of those suits you, sir!

Yeah, it will be interesting to see if our teams just are equally bad, or one is less bad... :D

Wednesday at 19:00 would be a nice time for me to play! Ok?

Brilliant writeup J-Reedy. I really liked all the nice references to pop culture. Heartbreak Hot Hell for example. Good to hear that you were able to recruit some Strange fellow and that I do not have to meet him. You would have the cape advantage in that case.



Gnaarkill: I cannot play until earliest friday. However, due to the EU top meeting in Gothenburg I will most likely take a day off on friday. So any time on friday, saturday or sunday would work for me.

Yo Hakos, din gamle stridspitt! :D

When do you have time to defend the hill we so badly need to conquer for our onward quest for the gold!? ;D

May I suggest the following times?:

Wednesday: 21 - 22
Thursday: No go
Friday: 20 - late
Saturday: 10 - 12
Sunday: No go


EDIT: So, I was just about to write to you ;D
Anyway, how about a saturday morning match @11? :)

Hello, Lars. I'm afraid I can't play the match today, Wednesday or Thursday, but any time after 16:00 CET on Friday, or before 18:30 on Saturday or Sunday works for me. Please tell me if any of these times suit you, and, if not, we can plan something for next week.

Saturday at 11 sound perfect. Looking forward to defend our hill. High position is always an advantage. By the way does not all other races have the advantage of a high position versus dwarves?

Vampires do bite... There own players, off course.

Started bad for the Norse with a Cas turn 1 against them, but when the Vamps started lusting for blood at the wrong time then everything turned around.
It did help that the caped players liked their KO too much so they did not want to return to the field.

Well, thanx for the game J! Fun to play against you and even more fun to play against vampires! :D

The Wonderworlders narrowly avoid defeat after a glorious sacking maneuver by the Teamsters forced a goblin to become the hero of the day with an unlikely interception!

Pretty crazy match with few armor breaks on both sides and the death (apo'ed to death) rolled in on T16.

Thanks for a fun match, Kvasi. Looking forward to a rematch :)

Thanks for the match, it was a fun one indeed :)

I made several silly mistakes, although I'm not absolutely sure any of those cost me the match. I blame Clayton!

As you may have noticed, reports have changed a bit. There's a new version of www.bb2replayer.com (http://www.bb2replayer.com) out, and unfortunately it's required from now on as it is no longer backwards compatible.

Really nice looks in the new reports like all the extra facts on the individual players

Battle Report, Day 2

Sir,
Enemy sighted, our scouts report they have some kind of secret steam engine weapon at their center that we have never seen before. It looks very dangerous. A quick flanking attack was ordered. We attacked on the right flank with some diversion on the left flank to stretch their lines a bit. First attack managed to remove their runner for the rest of the battle. Their steam engine weapon chases our cavalry but breaks down completely at the wrong moment for the enemy. We reach our intended target quickly.

The enemy lacks their secret weapon and half their cavalry but despite being outnumbered they gather for a counter attack. However a blizzard starts that last for the rest of the battle. Their cavalry get lost. We can pin down their Heavy infantery while our troops can flank them on both sides. We reach their headquarter and find their treasure chest which is promply carried to safe territory.

The enemy surely has courage, with half the battle left they are outnumbered 8-11 but still they want to attack us. A massive battle starts near the center of the battle zone. It is a hard fight and soldiers are going down all the time. Finally our Heavy troops manage to hit their center. Several times. Their lines break and we are able to sneak in with our cavalry in their unprotected backside, steal their supplies and break them.

They bravely continues to fight on for some more hours but nothing noteworthy happens.

Victory!

Signed, General Ulysses S. Grant

Another match that Went unexpectedly well. I was quite afraid for that deathroller and all the block and tackle before the match. But BH his runner in turn 1 and then scoring in turn 3 to remove his deathroller made everything much easier.

Gnaarkill played well but sure was unlucky with key rolls. We were both out of RR in turn 4. And when his last runner failed to pick up the ball twice in turn 5 and 6 in a blizzard it was easy for my fast players to get to the ball. 2-0 happened in turn 8 and after that it was more a matter of going trough the motions in second half.

I hope you have more luck in next game.
