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...

MD5 starts with 3 vampires. Got 2d on ball, snake bloodlust and only get pushes on ball. Elves score quickly, short kick and it lands on thrall on LOS. I snake catch to give it to vamp and it scatters to elf side. Game over before T4.

Im trying... Its not much, but i tried. Reroll for opponent, perfect defence for them, rock on my thrall who is KO'd and pitch invasion that takes 6/10 players from me isnt really helping thougt..

 

Well failed way too many passes and catches so couldnt even get SPP for 5/6 vamp. Sigh. Nice 3-1 loss

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...

I hate chefs.

 

0-3 loss.  I pushed luck on the goal line and should not have, then I lusted in the end zone.  I just haven't been into it this season.

 

I thought about having doomy coach for me after my stroke.  I should have done it.

Hey, not only did I win our BB1 vamp-off, proving forever and for all time that I am actually the superior coach and you’re just a flukey bastard with your two championships, but my current lizard team is on a streak of two consecutive wins and only one was adminned. 
 

Anyway, sorry to read you had a stroke. Don’t do that again.

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)

Managed to get back on winning side on MD7. MB vamp was on fire and got 11 SPP from one game so that's quite nice. And MVP landed on another vamp. Next up is busted rats so maybe, just maybe there is chance to win second in row!

 

Vamps have developed okay'ish so far.

 

Block + MB vamp

Blodge vamp

2 dodge vamps

 

1 Thrall has been lucky and gained wrestle. (3 SPP away from getting tackle)

 

So is it smarter to give MB vamp tackle next (4 SPP away) or dodge?

If you don't have any tackle, that'd be the way for me.  But I'm still struggling in tier 3...

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...

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? lol 

 

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.

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....

Well it's been a half decent season so far... not diced in most of the matches and even currently top half of the table...maybe there's something to these admin dice.... we've had 4 vampires die already but apoth/regen has saved them all so far....

I'll make @Kjelstadlike post now.

 

Rough season. Gazing has been total trash, i have had 2 dead vampires (blodge & blodgestepper) and no regen which is bit harsh for one season old team.

 

Bad season. Horrible season. 3-1-2 after MD6 and have been able to roster 4 Vamps each game due good money rolls. 3rd on leaderboard

 

Did i do it right?

Sad days.  Fairly basic Dorf team should have been a walkover but I managed 8 or 9 snakes and my first drive he got a blitz, the ball landed on a flank one square in and he was able to secure it and despite a few hits on the ball carrier it took forever to get it back.  He ended up scoring with a long bomb from a blitzer to a longbeard to end the half 1-0

 

Thankfully he snaked a 3+ catch in the endzone to go 2-1 up on t16... i then snaked a BL which still allowed me to surf the runner and nom a thrall.  My agi 5 vamp then needed to pull off a silly throw and snaked his dodge away from the deathroller....

 

Fecking RNG... 1-1 draw and a hella fun game but dagnammit... the top team got beat by the insane filler flings, so I could have stolen top spot...

Another unsatisfactory draw result, but it was a hella fun game.  Another vamp death saved by regen/apoth.

 

multiple snakes including a 2+ dodge with the ball carrier before a 2+ throw and probably score to go 1-0 on their drive, a quad skull when clearing the MB wolf in the way of me scoring to equalize and a cheeky 2+ BL, 2+ dodge and 2 GFIs and a pickup to go 2-1 up on t16...

 

Howevverrrrrrr we now have a 2nd S5 Vamp.... bloat R us...
