Match Day 2

[Lars]

So Lars, what's your availability for this match day? This week is sketchy for me, but I can do Monday, Wednesday, Thursday 2030+ next week I'm pretty sure. This Sunday is also a possibility, but times are a bit more uncertain there right now (can find something on Discord if that's a good day for you)

Would be good if we could settle it on Sunday since I am going to a festival in Denmark next week so will be hard to find any good dates for playing BB during next week.

/Lars

Going to Copenhell? Slightly envious :)

Anyway, yeah, can we tentatively aim for Sunday at 12:00 perhaps? I think that should be doable.

Yes it's Copenhell been holding the tickets since pre-pandemic so nice to finaly get back into festivals again.
Sunday at 12 will work for me cya then.

The Sun is shinning but where are the dark people?
Can you come out and play?

The Dark ones are hiding B!
And will continue to do so, for a while more at least ;)

Im going away on Sweden Rock festival this week. Will be back on Sunday.
So first available time is Sunday. Could do from 18:00 and onwards, if that suits you?

Otherwise we are looking at next week. Everyday is OK from 21:00, your usual time :D

Toughest game of the season? Meeting a chaos dwarf team full with block, tackle, guard and migty blow. One wandering apothecary joined the team to minimize the losses. And a thank you note was sent to Lazer for removing one bull centaur from this game.

The fear seemed to be validated when the chaos team KOd three players in the very first turn. Preventing the TD was likely impossible so the ball was ignored and only the flanks were attacked. The hobgoblin carried the ball easily and safely one square from the TD zone surrounded by heavy backup. Despite being 100% safe he was so happy about scoring that he did just that already in turn 4. 0-1.

Bretonnians got an unexpected opportunity and took it. A perfect left flank offence was initiated. Knights cleared the lane and moved in to build up a wall far into the left flank. Another knight picked up the ball and moved close to LOS. The rest of the team worked perfectly, even peasants managed to knock down two chaos dwarf blockers making it very hard for the defence. After that turn it was more a formality and the equalizer was scored in turn 7. 1-1

Turn 8 saw some wild blocking and even an attempted foul on the minotaur from an over eager bretonnian blocker. The referee ofc saw it and one wrestle/guard piece was lost for the game.

Second half, Bretonnians start on the offence and tried the same tactic but it did not work as good this time. Instead we were forced to make a risky throw for a two-turner attempt. The throw failed. Also the goblins tried to throw the ball next turn and failed. Thus a massive confusion started in the middle of the dwarf field. It lasted several turns. The bretonnians ended up a little bit more lucky with bounces, pick-ups and so forth and could score in turn 13. 2-1

Still quite possible for the chaos team to even the result. They rushed two hobgoblins deep into the bretonnian side. One was well protected by the Minotaur. But catching was not on the menu today so the ball landed on the LOS. After that both the dangerous hobgoblins could be taken care of and the game was settled in turn 17 when scoring was out of reach for the chaos dwarfs.



Pheew, thanks for the game J-Reedy. I think you played well but you were a bit too nice in the first half when you scored early. Apart from that I think the total of 12 failed catches in the game was a key factor. Causing some randomness that allowed me to take advantage of it.

The two final teams from last season got to face off again, the feeling was that armor rolls was the factor that decided the game the Norse could not really break the humans armor but the humans had no problem breaking the Norse armor.
The first half was a long drive for the humans where they manage to injure one and KO 4 players before scoring in round 8. All the KOs where back in the next half. In the second half the Norse pushed forward pretty hard on one side they got surrounded and scored fairly early possibly in round 11. The early score allowed for the humans to setup for another scoring. The Norse got a bit heavy on one side which  allowed the humans some pass play and heavy push on one side. When the Norse managed to clear the ogre they managed to get a blitz one the ball carrier and managed to get the carrier down but the ball was free. Humans felt the need to score as soon as possible and managed a dodge pickup gfi for a second goal. The goal was scored so that the Norse had 2 rounds to score a equalizer. But in the end he ended up with one step away from scoring, ending the match 1-2 in favor of the human team.

Apparently the luck was heavily on my side but in the game the feeling for me mostly was the lack/luck in armor breaks. And don't know what's catched by the misc stat I suppose that the absens of bone head will go there.

Thanks for the match Tags and good luck in future matches.

Thanks for the game Lars!

It was a tough battle for sure, where norse were removed from the board left and right, while the MB+PO berserkers couldn't seem to even break armour most of the time. Your misc stat there is 12/12 bone-head rolls without any failures, 5/5 foul rolls without the referee taking notice and a perfect 3/3 KO recovery rolls (albeit with babes, so that last one isn't particularly astounding). But yeah, the armour rolls definitely didn't help either.

That single match moved me from the top of the Lucky Bastards stat group into the Cursed by Nuffle category for the season :P

Either way, you could've just chosen to claim the walkover since I failed to show up for the agreed time, so I'm grateful for getting the chance to play at all. I also suffered no permanent injuries, so could've been worse!

Good luck for the rest of the season, and enjoy Copenhell!

Yes indeed.  He saw my son who where 1.5 meter behind me...

If the match can be played on Wednesday @ 21, definitely go for that. I think you both have had extraordinary things come up that are good excuses, no need to admin if it can be played soon.
