RPS Blood Bowl League - The many, many Divisions of Death!

Sovereign Right (Helves, Dentharial) vs The Tufthybrushe Fruitcakes (Halflings, Kapouille)

Last time we met, I slaughtered his team, leaving just 2 treemen on the field and generally scoring touchdowns all over this place.

The following screenshot will be my match report for this time around.

For those counting, that's 8 elves injured, 2 KO'd, and the 11th about to be 6 or 7 man fouled. And those injuries include a Niggling, a -AG, and a couple of MNGs, I believe.

Final score

Sovereign Right 1 - 2 The Tuftybrushe Fruitcakes


So...I believe there's an orc slot freeing up if Pseudo is marked as inactive?

Edit: And at Heliocentric below me: Hold your tentacular Cthulu horses, sir. I'll fill in that spreadsheet as soon as I manage to get this screenshot at a decent resolution. Which is now done.

[Heliocentric]

I was outdone in the Elf bashing stakes?

God damn it. *sigh*

I guess the important thing is, Elves were bashed, does it really matter who by?

edit: acid bricks at the ready sirs, Dentharial and Kapouille have not filled in the sheet.

My gobbo bashing is put to shame by the blood thirsty halflings. You must have had sandwiches stuffed in your shorts or something.

UnHoly Nuffle! You got destroyed by Halflings! How is that even possible?

I don't doubt the treemen helped.

[Skydancer]

Yeah, those treemen sent half my team off the pitch on the first half. They are vicious.
I feel lucky both of them rooted down in two turns on the second half, otherwise I'd have ended like Dent's elves.

[Kapouille]

I don't doubt the treemen helped.

They had something to do with it. You see, this time around they didn't take root despite me throwing rerolls by the bucket at the problem :)

I think we can remember Sovereign Rights by the previous match we played against them. The situation was completely reversed, I had 8 halflings out and they humiliated us by scoring 4-0.

The catch is, I did inflict permanent injuries this time around, the poor fellas are badly crippled.

That said, I seem to remember that some undead teams did tenderise the elf meat beforehand this season, didn't they ;)

Edit : oh, and there was a nice elfball action in the first turns, leaving me no chance of doing anything. Also, interesting to note that the heat was blistering, and a lot of elves fainted early on, despite not having had any notification from the game (??)

Yes, black pudding and strawberry sangers. Yum yum.

[Dentharial]

Yeah, I was quite proud of so smoothly scoring that touchdown in turn 2. And then 3 of my elves were lying off pitch from the mysteriously arriving Sweltering Heat (it wasn't the kickoff event, they were off pitch even when I was setting up) and it all went downhill from there.

Also a fun bug occurred right at the start of the game. It only put 10 of my players on the pitch, with the 11th sitting in the subs menu. I tried to yank him on, but it would only allow me to swap him with someone already there. Fortunately, the game also complained that I didn't have enough players on the pitch, and then automagically placed him in the backfield before the kickoff.

It didn't screw me over, since I had more than enough to score pretty easily, but I can imagine for a slower team it might be very frustrating to run into that.

Also, also! Although the treemen certainly did a fair bit of work, I remember that at least 2 injuries were scored by halflings. And at least one more was due to...shall we say an 'optimistic' attempt at dodging to stop a touchdown?

[Kapouille]

the mysteriously arriving Sweltering Heat

According to the http://www.bloodbowlonline.com/LivingRulebook5.pdf, weather is determined right at the start of the match. Disappointingly, the game doesn't tell you about that directly apart from some visual effects being on or off (Now I remember, after the fact, that I had blizzard on a last match, I could only figure out because there were some odd snowflakes falling down on one side of the pitch...!)

[Zoraster]

It does appear on the dice log, but if you don't look before kick off you'll miss it. However there is the weather icon on the top left so you can always tell. I think it also has a pop up explaining the precise effects, but I may be making that up. As a TT player it isn't the sort of thing I ever think of using.

[LowKey]

zoraster is quite correct in all accounts

[Dentharial]

Whoops, having rechecked the replay, it turns out that changing weather to Sweltering Heat was in fact the first kick off event (and then I lost my elves to it at the start of the next drive).

Guess I missed it behind the message of those dastardly halflings stealing my rerolls.

[Heliocentric]

That said, I seem to remember that some undead teams did tenderise the elf meat beforehand this season, didn't they ;)

Trust a Halflings coach to use a culinary term.

6 cas from me, 8 from the Halflings, I wonder how many did skydancer's Khemra delivered and is there an award for cas sustained in a single division because I think the elves might win it.

[INinja132]

Don't default mine and WTF's game, we're planning on playing tonight. We've generally been organising over Steam instead of in the forums. Sorry about that, but if we don't play tonight just default us I guess.

[Heliocentric]

Contact your division opponents, if you are able to make a schedule that suits everyone then defaults might be avoided.

*sniff* It's... it's beautiful.

This is one of the reasons we ask people to try and organise their matches (or at least track their attempts at organising) in the division specific group discussion threads. :)

Having berated you for that, good job for posting here and letting us know.

[groovychainsaw]

I didn't default the aforementioned game anyway - I was giving people a chance to respond - if you can play your game tonight ininja, that'll be fine :-).

I've had that bug in single player a fair number of times. Very annoying!

I had an even better one last night though (again in single player). It wouldn't let me do anything with the initial set-up: couldn't move players, couldn't sub, couldn't change formation... couldn't anything. Never had that happen before. Maybe a new bug since the update yesterday?
