Crunky Chops Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Yeah definitely need dodge on that +ag vamp next, at the moment he's a bit of a liability.. I'm debating getting the 5th vamp now following my last game where my star vamp nearly died but apoth changed it to mng. Damn shame he's missing the next game though as he's currently my only tackler and I'm against lizards. So down to three vamps gives me a good reason to buy another plus I'll still have enough for wolfman to do the blitzing.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzle Storm Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Last game was... a lot of failing. I defended first, got a blitz, and then proceeded to push my opponents around. After failing the 2+ catch on the kickoff, my opponent fireballed, KOing the MA8 vamp. His first blocks were pushes, a KO, and a dead vamp which I apo'd into no cas. I bloodlusted a blitz, rolled some more pushes, then KO'd the DP thrall. Some more good dice from the opponent, and I was out 7 players by the end of my turn 3, after a 1/9 to get the ball back. So I left players on the ground, who eventually got fouled out, or tried to dodge, and snaked into KOing themselves. First two turns of the second half had dub skulls early in the turn. Things finally turned around Turn 3 as I started getting removals. Turn 16, after the opponent had made a blockless GFI 1D pow against a blodgestepper, I caught the ball on another vamp, and then rolled a triple 1 to end that game. All in all just a very shitty game! Lots of horrible dice, and a dead vamp, for a loss (thanks to opponent making 6+ pass and 2+ catch on turn 16). Weeeee. Aaaaand I rolled a 1 on the winnings.

Crunky Chops Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 ouch, unlucky on that one. Sometimes you've just got to put it down to nuffle and move on. The worst part is when you lose players, what vamp died? I hate to think what will happen when I move into a higher tier and go against an increasing number of bash teams with plenty of MB PO etc! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the not-as-developed vamps, blodgestep Strip ball one. Not a huge loss, but I won't be able to afford a new vamp for a bit due to winnings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 2
Kjelstad Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I thought I was playing elves today but POMB Wolves showed up instead. Stupid dice again. On his first possession he had 3 KO and 3 casualties. That ended on T4 with one casualty regenerating, one KO getting up and me scoring. Yes, this is me complaining about getting mutilated while winning if Doomy shows up. The next drive, eight players and a Vampire on the line now, he picks up with his STR4 Ghoul but brings the ball in range of Freight Train. Pow and my only KO of the day I think. There is lots of back and fourth with the ball all game but this ends on T8 with Bats scoring again. By my drive I have seven players and I am low on rolls without leader now so I let a vamp lust off the pitch. Turn 10 I can push my luck and hope he doesn't intercept a long pass and that is what I do to put the game away. If that isn't silly enough he loses the ball on a GFI and we invoke the power of nonsense to end it 4-0. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 6 13 2 15 2 2
Doomy77 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 From the first sentence I knew this was a crushing victory. ”I got the shit kicked out of me and only won 4-0.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 4
Bouffon Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I take this means you're almost certain to stay in champs? I'd like to meet a good vampire coach if I happen to promote.Yes, it is all about me for me! Also, congrats on having Nuffle's love. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kjelstad Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I at least control my own destiny. I tie for third if I win out and have the TD breaker against everyone. Andy would have to lose his last two games and RTSD would have to lose one for me to win and that will not happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now facing gobbos next game with no skills besides kick. Rolled 34 1's compared to 18 6's... That game showed me a bit of the negative side of vamps. But overall I was dissatisfied with my play. Skaven are fast and can always score on skill less vamps, sure I accept that. But on my offense drives I was too easily screened off and it felt like I could never add any real pressure... Dunno, had huge issues advancing the ball. I was just about to give advice when I realized we play in BBT next week! It will have to wait... Did you buy a thrall? Don't buy thralls. I know I have bought an apo and an ogre so you should have been able to buy an apo and a Vampire by now unless you have been screwed on winnings.

Razzle Storm Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 A very dicey win against Nurgle today, with a total of 8 dubskulls (5 for me, 3 for him, but his last dub skull was pretty key to me winning). Managed to turn a 1 into a 6 on the winnings, so I'm slowly getting the money saved up to get back to a 6th vamp! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 2

You were down to 2 vamps and you will be playing against Ogres so I am not sure I had/will have a lot for you. I don't recall you gazing much, or at all. With str 3 players they have to use two two other players to make a block and you can make it difficult with positioning. I gaze a lot. Snots will just dodge away (I would still do it) and Orges don't need help so not great advice for this game. Though you don't have blodge yet and that will make it a lot safer. What I really love more than them wasting a player's turn to activate is a turnover where half their team is still stupid. I am available after 1400 on week days. As late as you like.

Kjelstad Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I got into a shootout with elves that had three apo and didn't need any. It was going alright until he caught a Blitz! I had tackle on him but even the RR on the block failed. 3-4 loss. Instead of second place I am going to get booted down. On the bright side my rookie power leveled then took dodge and block.

Kjelstad Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 If I had been playing closer attention to standings I might have focused on the game more and not just power leveling the rookie. It was the first time I have taken dodge before block on the first skill, as rolling AG or MA for the second skill I would have prefered it. Two normal rolls though. My mistake keeps a killer nurgle in Championship; so you are welcome, Razzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 6 13 2 15 2 2
Sidra Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Hey. Sorry for the silly question but what is a vamp team? Do you mean like vampires? Are they a race in this game and I somehow didn't notice? I ask because I just signed up for the league with a Dark Elves team named "The Vampy Vampires" and I don't want to cause confusion, lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider myself a quite decent coach, but I feel like a beginner again when I play them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
Kjelstad Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 He beat me 4-1 with Vampires on Saturday in another league so he didn't play like a beginner. It was shameful how he let Ogres score though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards 3 6 13 2 15 2 2
