  1. Massive congrats for taking a Dark Elf team to the very top.... well done good sir!
  2. Well we survived the final match and got a 2-0 to boot. No levels, but 3rd place with 4 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss. Admittedly thats vs some teams that only have a single season of xp...(but they're mostly chorfs so fk em!) I'll stick one more season. I've volunteered for admin duty...they get special dice right? I'll have to hope they improve my win ratio.... LJ
  3. Beat the chorfs 2-1. Thankfully regen earned its cost today... He gave up early and then focus' on pure death. We got 2-0 up and that was that. He Niggled the S5 blodge/tackle/jugs vamp - apoth changed to -MA and regen kicked in, he also killed a m7 blodge/sidestep pro vamp and that also regenned. Phew? Let him score with minimal contact as I figured he'd be slow and we got away with a 2-1 win. He did get a blitz with t16 left and did catch it on his bull centaur but thankfully I knocked that over and he didnt even see the possible score options. I started the game AV breaking his dorfs/centaur very nicely and he kinda caved in thank god. Just Humans to go. If I can find a way to beat them, I might keep this lot one more season.
  4. Re-watched it and whilst the benefit of hindsight is always 20/20, I should have prioritized his only ball carrier/handlers rather than continuing the dream of scoring with the limited players I had left. Lessons learned...
  5. If you don't have any tackle, that'd be the way for me. But I'm still struggling in tier 3...
  6. A draw vs a good Khemri team... first half made it look like it was going to be a breeze... easily broke his drive and should have scored a second after a blitz but the dice gods changed their minds, and we then self destructed 2nd half. Already down 2 vamps, I'm pretty sure I played it wrong and spread him to keep his decent positionals away from anything critical and chasing my vamps down, and after losing a few of players, I went for the the agi 5 vamp play needing a couple of 2+ dodges, 3+ throw to get the ball pretty much safe for a 2-0 and snaked the first dodge. He still had work to do but everything he needed worked out and the removals kept on coming and we couldnt even tag this ball carrier to stop the t16. Going to replay the match and see what I should have done later. I am thinking I should have just blocked up in my own half. I just dont enjoy that form of play... but I badly need to learn how to win again. Almost -9 on the move rolls most definitely didnt help but a better play would have ground that out... Next up is a chorf team with a lot of MB and 3 guard, including a claw/mighty chorf (that only levelled as his opponent last match soft conceded and allowed him 4 or 5 turns to pick up the ball and score...meh)
  7. 3-1 win over the lowby chorfs. Nobbla was a pain in the ass, but he went for bribes and a wiz as well rather than the chef so we felt better about the start...even opted to kick... Surprised he didnt use the wiz earlier. I let an agi bust on the new vamp early on go and it thankfully regenned. 2 games with positive dice stats and 2 wins...if I can get 2 more wins out of the next 3...this team might not get shredded. Aguelo's very nice Khemri next, another nooby chorf team thats gone almost all MB, and some silly 2k+ human team...
  8. the trick is to never give up, almost. somedays thats a lot to ask tho...bloody elves!
  9. Finally a win. Admittedly it was vs Ogres, one of the sillier matchups. Only 1-0 and we stalled almost all 2nd half in our own half as he put almost no pressure on and we were down players... It looked like another day of BS as he injured all 3 of his LoS hits on the first turn(no piling on, just MBs). We got away with a red 2d with my wrestle/tackle/strip/leader(!) thrall and sacked the ball which caused some considerable salt it felt like. Back to a full squad of 15 vs Chorfs next week who are still developing and have a penchant for hitting early with a blockless mino (usually 2d hits!). He'll be getting 500K inducements. Beginning to wonder if I should have gone leader on the last vamp that levelled as that lvl 5 thrall stole not only the ball but also got a cas and MVP....and survived the match with av5...maybe he was the MVP... fair enough... First game of the season where I have had positive luck...and boy was it obvious! BLs mostly behaved and his boneheads were definitely worse. The key stat was his GFIs....11GFs with 5 fails...
  10. Now dice fucked by haflings. 5 vamps off in 3 turns, failed BLs and 2+ dodges (one quad 1) Seriously this team is cursed... I cannot wait for this season to be over. So disappointed I can't get a single game without being fucked over by nuffle. I get a ball sack anyways with a thrall and it bounces to the s3 blodge fling who catches... gg by turn 4 i think. down to 3 thralls by turn 5 Ended up levelling 2 vamps and getting a draw...as it wasn't closed out well at all... IF we can get some wins like at least 4 out of the next 5 games, I may reconsider the retirement as BB3 likely won't be out yet, not that the teams in that are massively inspiring either! May have to swing by FUMBBL again....
  11. I'm regretting another season...goddamn these dice. Chef took 4 RRs from 6 and the leader was out this week At least 6 snakes, 3 at critical points early on or to prevent a score, along with yet another opponent who rolls a defender down every single fking hit with no tackle and in some cases not even block.... Agi5 took a str bust, apoth tweaked to niggle, and the regen failed. Had to potato with the ball after a heavy press and a lucky sack of his ball carrier, the m8 vamp was out of reach and I probably should have just left him be but 2+ to go 2 up and clinch the win and some much needed cash and I had to BL fail... We would have lost 2-1 if he'd actually scored t8 but he decided on a hit with a blockless star and 1 in 9'd it and failed the loner... I'm done with the vamps. Roll on bb3 !
  12. I feel ya. Multiple ball sacks vs a 2k+ Orc team and made a STUPID mistake where I greedily attempted a 4+ pass with RR which would have left me with a 2+ BL to get out of range on his drive...if i'd held the ball I could have made some much better plays the following turn. Blade2 the S5 Blodge vamp has now died a 4th time. Apoth saved thankfully. Jugs was fun with him tho... The Leader/Wrestle/Tackle/Strip ball av bust thrall got av bust again....av5 is basically the same as 6 right? 2nd half i received, we got a bribe and managed to foul KO the troll off the pitch but ended up getting well crushed after and we were down to 1 vamp and 4 thralls by turn 11 and the ball easily secured by the orcs for an easy 2-0 for them. Very few double fails this game but the orcs failed nothing first half, still having 3 RRs by turn 8 My 1 turner failed with the initial blitz being a skull defender down, technically i still had a chance to get into scoring range but the BL fail KO'd a thrall i needed for the double push. I know full well I screwed up first half after grabbing the ball. Bad Jair...
  13. Nice! Love the writeups and good luck with the playoff! That league setup looks super fancy!!
  14. Barely managed to survive vs a 1 season Skaven team...no leader (MNG) and the chef stole 2 RRs second half and my removal rate on BL fails was insane. Admittedly I should have just stopped after the first couple but this was a great chance to get a hit on his niggled tackler and foul it...so was deemed worthy. By rights I should have lost...he was a 3+ away from a throw to skitter to get out of reach. Was an entertaining game and clearly I'm not managing the BLs well enough....I could not rid the GRs from the field...and 4 plus skitter made it rough. A 3dice hit on skitter with no RRs when I had no RRs and a thrall 3 squares away ended badly as that BL failed and we had the hilarious shadowing to the thrall....which we surprisingly made. The S5 Blodge/tackle vamp has levelled (he tripwired on t16 which would have won us the game, so he did NOT deserve that mvp). Torn on choices for him atm. Not a great start...
  15. For better or worse...I've upped to 6 Vamps...all in this season... :>
  16. Well I got my dream demotion to tier3 and am versing 2K+ TV teams...so that should be interesting. 2 Chorf teams altho one is coming up from tier 4 so not a lot of deathcausing spam yet...hopefully we get them early. Definitely a make or break season for the vamps this time around...I have to get top 3 or they're going for a permanent rest... As a long time fan/player in OCC it does sadden me a bit to see so few tiers still out there. Clearly there's still some love for the game with the ggtoor competitions proving that. Hopefully BB3 will be at least playable and we can toy with the new rulesets and get some freshness back into the game...
  17. this made me chuckle way harder than it ought to. F**king legend.
  18. Well as seems to be the way with this team, after multiple dicings/bad plays...they come good the last couple of matches and make me think there's perhaps hope... 2/3/4 is a godawful record with a team like this but back to back wins and scoring 6TDs in the 2 games (more than I managed in the previous 7 matches combined!) with only one dead kicker and 4 vamps now under 10SPP to another level...I guess I must continue... Cya'll next season for more grumblings ? :)
  19. 0 2 4... how bad must I be to not get a result with this ridiculous team. One of those draws was adminned.... It doesnt matter if you only have one tackle piece as nurgle apparently...his only tackle killer piece was awful to be fair but that combined with at least 7 snakes during the game stopped me getting anything from it again. Fuck this RNG
  20. Disappointing but expected result of a draw vs the agi boosted Orcs. Should have lost but for a tripwire (deserved after burning RRs with greed hits). Mistake early led to 2 fouls on my s5 blodge but he sustained those and used up both bribes only to get MNGd later. Also lost a couple more thralls and a mng on my leader. Tv dropped 430TV for the next game vs Orcs. Did get the M8 vamp levelled and opted for dodge. Torn on where to go with him next. Wrestle may be fun with jump up but i dont tend to put wrestle on vamps... should i skip block and go sidestep/sure feet? 2K+ orcs next with a few niggled players, so considering the star wolf with claw...
  21. In desperate search of inspiration I watched your game...there were some very familiar turns but you handled it brilliantly...very very nice! That t16 foul on Freight was a little silly but I guess you get used to that with a monster player like him...
  22. Got tilted early after failing to stop a 2 turner from a very well played but weakened kislev team. Figuring we'd get a few hits in and maybe smack a catcher back on my drive, they got perfect defense, a nice kick and I managed two dub skulls before going for the ball, which was promptly picked up and tossed backfield. We almost got it back but a series of bad decisions just played into the kislev hands and we went 2-0 down. I have rewatched and I should have been able to at least push for a 2 turner myself but picked the wrong side and wrong pushback directions etc. Even with them failing almost nothing first half I should have made them work for it much harder. 2nd half I figured I'd use the bribe we'd picked up to maim the bear but a failed BL and poor AV roll burned the bribe and didnt take mr bear out either. There were glimmers of hope after a couple of half decent turns and we got 2-1 but more poor prioritization and positional play (I was obsessed with the catchers!) left the kislev with a fairly easy 3-0, unexpected the pass to the only non-loner lino which pegged it way off out of range. Not helped by yet another triple 1. I should have bailed on the 1 turner and just tossed an easy pass as it wouldnt have saved the game and would have levelled the m8 vamp. Not that I'd have made that either as I rolled 4x 1s out of 5 dice, failed BL on the blitz to begin the pushes which I ignored, and a skull/defender down rerolled to another dub skull.... key dice rolls definitely went against us but with some better positioning i should have been at least able to draw that. Overall the dice were average. Disappointed yet again. Some insane Orcs next week who have rolled 4 agi boost, which has limited the MB/tackle to a single piece, and he doesnt really utilize his 2 agi4 blitzers and agi5 !!! thrower much. 5MB tho and a DP with built in bribe and probably a wizard is going to make it pretty painful.
  23. Complete dice fuck yet again. I'm done after this season. multiple triple 1s while my vamps get injured every other hit. 2 regens from 6 over the 2 games so far. both major but still.... fuck this game RNG
