Completed Blood Bowl: The End

Smart move, RK. Machiavel would approve.

 

I'd take a draw default result, but since he just gave a one sided account of no injury on his side, and got me down by 4 men, I wouldn't take a FUCKING LOSS BY DEFAULT RESULT JUST LIKE THAT.

 

Yet the laptop's battery drained and kept me alive. Will of the universe, man. Winners always win.

 

He bought one inducement on our first half game -
Recommend me a counter to this guy Jaedar Grunker

He has TWO Rat Ogres on the field that caused a lot of havoc and fodders have to be deployed just to eat punches.

 

yup, fodder away with linemen, dodge away from the one with wild animal if possible(it's hard, so do it end of turn).

 

Bro, Prehensile Tail.

 

Tie up with linemen not working for you?

 

this will hurt us more than u...

 

Fursecution vs Knights of Codexia - Delayed Furballs



Once again, thank you for your patience with me and apologies for the hell of a delay we've endured. Was intending to finish this match 2 days ago, but the power went out on my work laptop - and hence.. a second replay was forthcoming. From the Fursecution's coach point of view, the game should've been defaulted to him. Thankfully, he agrees for a 2nd, final, rematch. I decided to forgo taking the laptop home and stay at the office past work hours just to play Bloodbowl.

Appreciate it. Motherfuckers.

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Terrible graphic settings but it's better than a power outage on the last game.



Two of the three unbeaten teams in the league meet - Fursecution nearly out of reach at first place, while Knights of Codexia still struggling to clench that 2nd win in the season. They're not safe, but nearly there.

The going doesn't look good, very sunny weather will hamper passing - and the Furries have hired a star Rat Ogre player, Headsplitter.



6 STR, 6 MA, 3 AG, no Bonehead/Wild Animal/Really stupid. Did I tell you he has Frenzy, Mighty Blow AND Prehensile Tail? If this guy EVER gets the ball, there's no fucking way I can bring him down.

Furries elect to kick - must be very confident of scoring quick-drawing TDs.



I'd take it, since we're going to be out-powered throughout the match, no thanks to the fucking Rat Ogres. Kinda miss Grunker but what can you do? I only have 90k in the bank. And putting him in will only make the TV inducement worse. So. Here's the setup. I put three Blitzers on the skirmish line with the accompanying linemen. Hopefully a few line rats will eat an early injury, giving me numerical advantage.

And really, this play is really as transparent as it gets, two throwers and Azira at the back to grab loose balls, then make quick run to the right, focusing all the fire power there as the center linos tie up the two Ogres.



Kick is incoming! In this Rat Ogre case, it's more like a punch.



Good.



That quick snap will let me utilize Azira's diving catch by getting within one tile of the landing zone...



Good start.



eklektyk and Whitewolf combos on the right to break thru and hopefully nail the Gutter Runners, which Furries left unprotected.




Takes him down on the second try, Wolf moves up to mark the back runner. Eklektyk will stay back as insurance.



Getting the ball to safety.



Nothing left to play for on the left, stabby regroups with the team.



OK, all set. Time for the central beat down to commence.



Brother None only gets a push. Jaedar scores a stunning blow, while Gondolin gets a KO. Not bad.



Hellraiser and LundB knew what to do, move up and tie up the Rat Ogres... Turn over.



Furries are really quick, and they won't waste a chance to slip in a Runner on the unprotected left. But I have enough STR to handle these .. I hope.



They burned a blitz on Whitewolf, but only got a push. Stand Firm nullifies it.

Meanwhile, at the center...


LundB gets pushed by the Rat Ogre on the first block...



..and survived a second push! Good going!



Hellraiser too, just gets a push...



...too damn good. The Furries coach calls for a reroll, and scores a stunning blow.



Good work Hellraiser.

Meanwhile, the rest of the left flanks of the Furries move right to stop the offense.


The downed runner next to eklektyk tries a dodge on wake up, and failed on the second go...



Turnover.



Doesn't look that dangerous, let's move up. EA's ex-CEO marks - something.



I think it's pretty clear where I want to go.. at least after 15 seconds of review. JR will mark and make the right blob crowded and hard to escape from. XenomorphII will mark the lone Gutter Runner. And Brother None is free.

But first - let's take down some furries.




Gondolin gets a knockdown on a Stormvermin.




Whitewolf fluffs his chance against a Gutter Runner, that slippery rat just dodges every block! Even eklektyk can't score the knockdown finish...

No harm done, let's do the breakaway.




Exchange is smooth...



..and he's off!



Should've done that one tile go-for-it for extra safety...



LundB's luck ran out.



Yeah, I fucked up right there... Brother None will just have to grin and bear it.



Oh man...



Whoops.



No injury as he gets pushed to the crowd... With the ball! It gets thrown back in... and...



OK. Not too bad.



Maybe I said that too early...



Stormvermin CRITICALLY success a pickup at 4+ ....



DODGES OUT! WITHOUT A FUCKING REROLL...



Oh for fuck's sake.... this can't get any worse. I can't ask Jaedar to intercept, that Prehensile Tail is hard to dodge out from... Xeno will have to do the honor.



Here it comes...





EAT SHIT MOTHERFUCKERS!



HE FUCKING DID IT!

 

You magnificent, lucky bastard you.

 

Plan B

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

It looks like we're still going to have to bash if we want to get anywhere, the sun is a bitch and passing is just not in the books today. We need all the men tying up the rats.



Whitewolf understood this and finally KOs a rat.



JR marks the Gutter Runner. Just in case Xeno fails to knock it down.



No one is free to blitz him free, so Xeno has to do it himself. Thank god for Block.



Let's go up.



Looking good...let's bash more



stabby scores a stunning blow.



Took a little too long to make up my mind ... could've gotten Azira free.



They moved the star ogre center. I hate this guy, he's just too good and mobile. He can practically intercept anyone running on the right... what to do?



And that annoying runner ... JR just can't mark AG4 dodge into empty tackle zones.



The other rat ogre with Wild Animal is slightly more manageable but still... blocking is +2 action for Wild Animal...thankfully Jaedar has Dodge.



Two failed blocks... Good stuff.



Even stabby gets in the act and stopped the blitz with a dodge.



Nothing going for the rats as turnover.



I like this. We got a clear path if we mark the Rat Ogre. LundB is the man for the job.



Whitewolf will try to destroy the pacy runners asap.



Only gets a KD, but moves up to mark more rats.



Johnny will mark the downed runner.



Lots of space for Azira if he can dodge out of this...



Naturally, he can't



Goddamit.



Luckily the star Ogre is out of the play with Lund marking him. Both of them actually are locked down. They have to make do with the STR 3 players they have. Good for us.



Whitewolf gets taken down, no injuries nor stun.



Hellraiser gets Ogre'd.



stabby.. magnificent bastard. Furries have burned ALL their rerolls.



Turnover!



Good space here, Jaedar is just gonna squeeze in and mark.



As well as stabs...



Wake up blitz by the wolf.




Fuck yeah.



JR marks the downed GR on the line. We're gonna inch slowly forward, burning every turn.



Wild Animal'ed Rat Ogre. Good.



Whoa, wtf -



BULLSHIT.



FUCK.



LundB survived two frenzy blocks by ST 6 Star Player. Fucking A. A ray of hope in the midst of all this derp. The ball is still on the floor with THREE rats looking at it.



More bullshit incoming at the Runner dodges out and marks the ball .... too crowded. FOUR rats overlooking the ball now.



This is gonna take everything to clear...



Azira gets up and makes himself available for TD on next turn.



Whitewolf, knocks down a rat, 3 more to go.



Jaedar KO's one. Two to go.



eklektyk only pushes...



Not too bad, two rats still marking... surmountable.



Ricky, with a blitz! Stun!



Let's just get it...



AND PICKS UP THE BALL with one Go-For-It! Looking good, turnover.



More dodges from the rats ... stormvermin even... they're getting desperate.



Wild animal, again. But it still maintains tackle zone, hence no free walk out for its marker.



LundB luck ran out and he gets stunned.



Two free receivers.. good good.



Whitewolf broke a rat jaw! Apothecary was called - badly hurt - damn.



Jaedar pushes!



Azira blitzes!



And scores a gouged eye!



Ricky is free and hands the ball to stabby...



No fucking around.




Hump the wall, bitches! One cock in rat's rectum!

 

We certainly appreciate your sacrifice, RK47.

 

03 - Too Fast Too Furry-ious

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

Gonna try to stop these guys from scoring now... Two turns. This is a hard proposition. They have the speed still.



Even with a few injured rats.



Kick it long.



Fans love us.



Nicely kicked.



Looks like they want to reposition their ogre, but it Wild animal-ed.



LundB gets stunned.



Now where is that problem ogre going...



On Gondolin. Ok on the first block... not so lucky on the second.



Get knocked down.



A Runner slips in, ready for the pass.



Fumbled pick up. Hnnnghhh. That's unusual for AG4.



See, I have 2 options here, somewhat 3. I can try going for the ball and stop it dead, but I'll need more men. Or just neutralize that lone receiver. I chose the receiver.



Stun. Good.
Then I got evil.



See that lone Star Player there? It's a golden opportunity to take him out of the game. We have enough men for a 2 dice block. We have Team Rerolls to spare. Let's do this.



We risk letting them score in exchange for their most powerful piece on the field - looks OK to me.



Don't let me down, Jaedar.



No RR required. It's down, uninjured tho.



Hellraiser knocks down a line rat, but can't really make a serious play for the ball. It's just too far.



Xeno can't really go anywhere and just wanders about.



Here comes the prize... Azira is going to stomp that bastard with 5 assists.



There we go. Blam! Badly Hurt! Bye bye STR 6 piece , no apothecary! Yes!



Turn over. What now bitches?




Blitz takes down Brother None!



OK, he gets it... now what?



Uh oh...



Not loooking gooood....



That's... fucking long...run..



Cmon...



Hell. They got the equalizer. But at least the 'Big Problem' is gone off field. Let's hope we can capitalize on the next drive.

 

Wow. And all those KO's and injuries, you should be 1-5 guys up on him depending on wake up rolls after halftime (wait, maybe I didn't count the KOs properly)? Would you feel just a little bad about him being a bro and giving away the default after this if they weren't leading the series? Oh OK, he equalized, never mind.

 

What the f?! I scored an injury?!? And fouled a starplayer?

...

Just wow.

 

I don't. He didn't need the points.
I'd take a draw. But he wasn't willing to budge. So yeah, I'll earn it. The hard way.

 

I cheated, I know the result. And I'm not telling.

 

Oh, and still not spoiling the result, just saying that the next match is against an Underworld team. An underworld team that has lost 2 matches of the five played. Won the other 3. Should be innerestin'.

 

He's a pretty good player IMO, but I'm sure it's less bullshit than Skaven speed. I really have trouble handling this 'you must be perfectly marking these faggots or else it's 2 turn touchdown' gameplay that the Skavens are excelling at.

 

Maim, burn, kill these rats.

 

Suffer not the furry to live, onward to victory.

 

Let them score

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

I'll be frank, that's the game plan. Let them score and play for draw. You can argue all you want, but that's our best bet. When a rat just equalized against you at half time and they're receiving on second half, you have to let them score. And no, they will not oblige and make a fast touchdown, so you have to force them.



Two injured for Fursecution and it's a key injury.



To make them score quickly, drop the ball close to the line so your own players can reach it in one turn. You'll see that even that isn't going to make them cooperative.



Here goes.



Not a bad result.



Good kick. Very good kick.



Look at that, one loose receiver there to lure a blitz. We'll take it later.



Hellraiser gets KO'ed by a blitz. Annoying.



Lund gets taken down like a sack of potatoes.



They got a push on eklektyk, that cleared their ball zone. Hmph.



As expected, get the ball and run the hell back to your own half. Burned a reroll on the pick up.



Wild animal on his sole Ogre Rat. Good good. Turnover. Let's play ball.



Gotta make them score. But first, let's take that free blitz.



We're gonna make it slightly difficult for them to score, by putting Jaedar next to a runner who is in 2GFI - TD position.



Angelo85 drops in to assist Gondolin with a takedown.



Just a push.



Hell, at least it clears a path for Ricky to mark the lone rat ogre.



Here comes whitewolf.



Two pushes. At least the rat is on the line.



Gonna double up with Azira to make escape a hard possibility.



eklektyk takes down a line rat.



I actually wanted to push Brother None up to mark that Gutter Runner - but ran out of time. Kinda angry about it. Now it has an easier time dodging out...



eklektyk gets KO'ed too.



Jaedar gets pushed back and the gutter runner is free.



Dude cannot resist using ogre to hit JR.



Only two pushes. DRM'ed away that knockdown.



Options exhausted, he decides to go for TD.



Handover is smooth.



2 GFI.



Burned reroll...



Classic Rat bullshit. But I'm not really angry. It's early. I want to score one back asap. Let's play, assholes.

 

Final Drive

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

eklektyk's gonna miss the final drive. Time to party folks. This is it. Fail, and we might be in for one hell of a thriller for the next two games. Win and we have a small safety margin.



Neutral setup. See, he's keeping that Rat Ogre free at the back, ready to snap at the incoming receivers.Thank god it has wild animal, unlike that super star. No point holding back, five on line of skirmish. Two catchers on point. Azira, just behind Whitewolf, ready to pounce. Two throwers at the back for pick up and launch ops. And no, we have no thrown a single pass in this game, and the weather is still, fucking, sunny.



Here goes...



Best KO Event ever. I'm going all out with the boot...



Ball read the script, landing next to Xeno. Let's roll.



Slam slam slam. Two line rat down, one pushed.



Howl of death!



Stuns.




We'll hit right.



Not the ball, not yet.



Hellraiser with a stomp that KO's the rat.



Now we can pick up the ball.



Safety first.



Last risky play as Garm has to dodge to mark the Ogre... yes, I'm throwing you in to the sacrifice...



Does it with no hesitation!



Here comes the harasser, trying to keep it 2-1...



Garm..



Survive??



Nope, final reroll burned just to KO that rookie. Good job, Garm



Oh, a blitz?



Jaedar will not stumble.



They're moving for the ball... good.



Throwing pushes on Lund. The rats starting to lose in terms of man power... good - turn over.



Ricky will try to slow them down. Force a detour.



Brother None to aim at that lone harasser.



Only gets a push, much to his great shame.



Whitewolf takes down a stormvermin. Freeing LundB.



That tireless Linesman... that immortal 0 SPP legendary linesman - will mark the beast.



stabs to stomp... every fucking turn we will stomp them down.



No injury. Bullshit. No foul call by the ref either.



Gondolin , setting up a 2 v 2 - comboing with Jaedar.



Jaedar just gets a push...



Xeno's gotta inch forward. Very little cover.



I don't think that is even remotely safe, but what do I know?
