RPS Blood Bowl League - The RPS Open

[mrpier]

Well, looks like I'll be available after all, plans didn't pan out :-)

[Everblue]

Woo and indeed hoo!

Or, if your plans were supposed to be fun, I'm most terribly sorry.

[Corkir]

Hey Corkir, when do you want to play?

Monday-Wednesday starting by 8pm uk time. Tues I should be working late so 6 is the earliest start. I can do from 4 the other days.

[Janek]

Janek - sorry but I probably won't be able to play this evening after all. Shall we go for the Saturday evening fallback instead?

Right yes that works. I have a FUMBBL tournament match at 6pm, so shall we say 8pm to give it plenty of time?

[laneford]

'hands.

Face me.

[Indefatigible Snoozer]

Jolima - my apologies. I don't think I'll be able to make our game tomorrow morning. Would Sunday morning, around the same time, work for you?

[Everblue]

A fourth defeat for my flings against Mr Pier's insufferable high elves. In a new exciting development, I scored a touchdown! I was even leading at half time!

It wasn't to be though, as some delightful elfball made it 1-1, and then a blitz on my drive resulted in 2-1 for mrpier. I then *just* failed with a halfling airways play on turn 16 to tie things up at the end.

Congrats mrpier. Best of luck for your remaining matches.

[Everblue]

Oh, and what do people think about +1 strength on a halfling - worth it?

[mrpier]

I was really nervous after the first half, but it's the first time I've encountered the super cage of doom (two ordinary treemen, deeproot and morg). In hindsight I could have done a much better job of slowing it down, but it might have cost me more elfs doing so. I don't think a draw would have been an unfair result in this match, but elfs are happy exploiting any opportunity and a blitz is as good as it gets.

So yeah, well played everblue, you had me worried until the end.

[Everblue]

While we are involved in our mutual appreciation society, you worked out how to deal with the cage in the end - since I didn't have guard on my trees, morg is the weak link. He doesn't have stand firm and can be outmuscled.

You are pretty unlucky not to have any ST4 or AG5 in that team mrpier - certainly an AG5 leaper would make a mess of even the Super Cage.

I'd think the doubles would be more valuable, but I don't really know much about stunties.

I did have a ST4 9MV blodge catcher he was glorious for a while and then fouled to death.

[Heliocentric]

ST4 9MV blodge catcher [...] fouled to death.

[grinn]

What about Saturday and Sunday of this weekend?

[Jolima]

Jolima - my apologies. I don't think I'll be able to make our game tomorrow morning. Would Sunday morning, around the same time, work for you?

Sure. See you then.

[20phoenix]

Take the +ST on the fling. He is still expendable though - the money roll on a fling is +AG

[Jiiiiim]

When I had my flings in the stunty league, I think I went with sure hands and strip ball as my two doubles choices. As it's possible to throw a fling anywhere, and they dodge anywhere on a 3+, strip ball is a nice tool to have. Strength just boosts them up to 3 and, I dunno, are you going to get much out of that? The flings aren't generally blocking and he can't hold the line because of the paper armour.

[President Weasel]

DAUNTLESS

then the little bugger can* block ogres



*or fail the dauntless roll and get splatted.

[grinn]

Hey Corkir, what's your steam name - can't find you.

[Jiiiiim]

Punkman, when are we playing tomorrow? 12pm?
