Crispy™ Let's run rings around Blood Bowl F13 Season 8 - Three Codexers in Play Offs
- Thread starter RK47
- Start date
I'm really angry, but can't really place my finger on why.
Best to just forget about that guy.
Sidekick Storm vs Family of Twitch
Match day 4, second half
Match day 4, second half
I hope photobucket bandwidth doesn't kick in 'cuz it's been bugging me just now 
As you may remember, the last half ended with a crazy 1:1 tie, which almost turned into 2:1 for the halflings.
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
The rats get a perfect defence to further troll the treemen.
No linemen are moved away from the line of scrimmage, however, but more players are set up aggressively on the left.
Meanwhile, the halflings mob up the ball.
And the trees begin a-hittin'. Star player gets trolled by loner lino into a push.
And finally one of the linerats gets KO'd. One more got harmlessly dusted earlier. Armour value 7 is way too strong. But the lino still left coach Ramas a package, by trolling the treeman with both down, causing a turnover
Their fehth is their shield!
Their armour is contempt!
But brother captain, aren't they mutants and xenos?
Fehth is purest when it is unquestioning, bruva.
Rat blitz incoming!
SLAM!
More skaven get into the vicinity as another halfling is taken out on a stretcher, and the turn ends.
The halfling coach calls Zara out from the back to snatch the ball. Surely, a loner ball carrier will work properly this time around!
Loner lino finally meets his end at the treeman's slam.
While the downed treeman decides to take root after standing up
And the turn ends again with a majestic display of doge.
Jaedar begins by knocking out another halfman.
And the air gets hot around Zara the Slayer as more skaven close in on her.
Zara fails a blitz to get out of the stormvermin's grasp.
It would appear the spectators are not very amused by the halfling coach's performance.
And neither is the camera operehtor.
And the halflings suffer yet another turnover, after a failed 1d block on the stormvermin
Meanwhile in ratville.
Zara's about to eat a knuckle sandwich!
And the ball gets scattered south.
Another halfling is swatted like a fly, and the ball is pushed even further down.
vroooooom
A big hand means twice as big middle finger to show your opponents.
Jaedar twirls his moustache wickedly, or at least, he'd do that if he had one (but he doesn't because he's a homo and a swede) and ends the turn.
Incoming halfling bombardment!
Yeah, right
Another stunned lino.
And a generic blitz by Zara that doesn't really accomplish anything.
Because why would you try to stab something dead instead, right.
What will the skaven do?!
How surprising.
The fans start yawning in anticipation as they witness another failed blitz.
The skaven team up in the middle to protect their carrier.
Treeman blitz!
Treeman KO's a rat during a blitz!
Treeman...!
... dodges...?
Zara is wrestled down and dirty by a lino.
And it would appear the halflings are fairly helpless now.
But wait, there's another bomb!
Nope.
Push on a wake-up blitz on a gutter runner.
The turn moves again to the skaven.
Beginning with another SLAM!
All the slammed halflings got only badly hurt, though. Boring.
Halflings again.
Wehke me up when something happens.
Fortunately, the camera is focused on the action anyway, so Commander Boreale can enjoy a nap.
A gutter runner gets stunned.
Same with a lino.
The halflings move 2 players up to try one last desperate action vs Jaedar's gutter runner. A third one also tried to get there, but, well,
Wake up, commander! There's action to be had!
Where?
Northern quadrant, but they are on the move
A failed blitz doesn't accomplish anything, and two skaven players can only try to set up dodge traps around the two halflings!
And a stormvermin fails a dodge to provide more security!
Uh-oh...
STOP BASHING AND GET ON WITH THE ACTION, FOOL
FEWL!
One halfling dodges out, blocking one assist for the runner carrier.
And the second one dodges-blitzes!
And manages all these 5 or something dodges.
Just to see a red skull on the blitz.
And a ko to boot.
At least that was sort of entertaining.
:kwanzania:
The gutter runner moves through the finish line, then runs a full ring around a fellow stormvermin...
And that's a score!
The treemen look at one another in sadness, thinking how could this happen to them. Why did nothing work!
Post-match stat screen.
And Commander Boreale's final thoughts:
The outcome was fairly predictable, the halflings couldn't possibly hope to stop the skaven gutter runners from scoring multiple, simultaneous and devastating defensive touchdowns. However, that doesn't quite explain why coach Ramas would use his inducements to get Zara the Slayer, whose Stab ability is very much made to go in and ravage flimsy av7 gutter runners and linemen. If you can't win, why not at least provide the enemeh with a parting gift and injure gutter runners (who are hard to pin down by regular blocks due to blodge, too) or guard linemen? Trying multiple times to use the loner star player (and, indeed, the only actual player) as a ball carrier was also rather questionable.
But this is not the last we see of the halflings. For the Secret Military Union will be facing them as well during the next match day.
Stay vigilant, bruvas!

Kinda annoyed by that. Zero stabs in 16 turns.
I kind of understand the logic behind Zara in Halfling team, she is a ST4 Blodger with 6 MA. Obviously 2D blocks are good, but stab offers a chance at no turn-over blocking. She's standing next to AV6 Guard Line-Rat at the start of turn 1, but chose to dodge out instead. She is so much better than that - seeing her being gang fouled by no less than 7 rats is ridiculous. The rats should be running away from her, not laughing at her face as she tries dodging out of their tackle zone repeatedly.
Seeing them equalize before half time was surprising though, but second half's usage of Zara as ball carrier isn't a surprising decision at all. I do not question it. She's ST4 Blodge, 6 MA, she can literally use the flings as cage edge and move out with 2D Pushes Blitz, or stab anyone that gets close to cage center.
Except he didn't stab. Let's block instead.
2D - Both Down- Both Down on Stormvermin. Reroll. Why?
Why would you even burn a Reroll on Loner for a non-turnover block dice?
It failed, and the next halfling tries a 1D block on the same rat and got both down, there goes on cage corner to a 1D block without block against a block.
Genius.Next turn, rat gets in without needing to dodge for 1D block on Zara - Got her down and it's game over.
Conclusion:
Jaedar was indeed playing it VERY safe, but the 2-1 scoreline was too flattering for the halfling.
If I look at the first half, Halfling got very unlucky with some dodge roll at the start, but otherwise recovered the game with a superb luck throw - and nearly scored a second with a Blitz.
The second half... the less said the better. The moment Zara dropped the ball, it was over.

Skinks are very effective at picking up unguarded balls and running away with them. They're also good at dieing.

Or as catchers (but no even half decent Lizardmen throwers!). Ag4 goblins (I got a few) are actually seriously effective players. Nothing like gutter runners with stunty of course 
Glad those got removed.
The dying thing really isn't at all bad with having dodge and being so cheap to allow plenty of spares. I played plenty of games with goblins and mostly it was just fine. Longbeards though are basically custom designed hafling/goblin/skink murdering machines!

Well fuck me. I've apparently run over Nuffle's prized poodle or something, because those dice today. God damn.
Anyway, here are the stats, and to give some context the halfling chef that left him with one reroll, and he used it in the first turn:
Okay, technically a kick off event gave him one for the 2nd half, but he didn't need it at all.

Really just his Minotaur has both, and a couple of other beastmen & chaos warriors have either or. The dice just hated me today (going over the stats in BBM show me that I got 1 out of 8 pick up rolls, it being a rainy day, where he got all of his.)
Hey guys, we're back, this time we're playing against H.
megrim: so, how close do you think you're going to get to winning it this season?
rk: not even close
rk: jaedar's gonna win it
megrim: really?
rk: yep
The amount of TV difference is pretty big, but I really don't care about cutting the squad. They all look fine to me. I think, looking from the division meta - we should be safe with 12 points in the bag.
So the priority today is earning those SPP for players who are primed for level ups.
They took Morg the Star Player and a Wizard.
Won the coin toss and went for receive.
Good start.
Standard LOS bash ensues.
No injuries, but we got a shot at Morg...
Naturally, Whitewolf will take that shot.
No injury. We'll give him the boot later. But first, let's get that 1 SPP for Arkay.
Meh. Reroll, short pass to stabby.
Wow. Much excitement.
Let's foul.
Fouling with ball carrier - cause I don't really care.
No injury but a stun. End of Turn.

Megrim launches counter 2D blocks on...
They got all their rolls. Sigh.
Oh boy.
Oh, it's just Azira.
End their turn having gotten 4 good downs on our players but no injuries so far.
I decided to reply with a 4ST 1D block on their Bloodthirster.
Reroll.
Got him. Calling stabby to blitz as he moves.
You should blitz with your ball carrier, nobody would expect this.
Got stabby into a TD position with 3 GFI (He can do it with Sprint.)
Meanwhile, let's dodge out Whitewolf...
Meh. Didn't call apothecary. Turnover.

Think we need more people there, getting Jaedar in there with a blitz.
Good. Stabby with 2D block now.
OK. Nice going.
Xeno can try 1D Block here defender has no block - it's a good chance -
Guess not. Rerolled.
Phew. Azira, how about you? Are you going to give me a red skull?
K.

Guppy gets punched down by Morg, but his armor held as the Khorne ends their turn.
Much tension here.
Our turn.
Guess I'll set up muckguppy as a decoy receiver.
Dodge out Xeno cause I don't want him to die before playoffs. Told him to blitz too, cause he has block.
Did just fine.
OK. What now genius? You gonna delay TD? On Sunday morning? Don't you wanna go back to Skyrim? Play your Khajitt boxer?
Yeah. Let's go back to Skyrim. This game's boring.
Can we go home already?

Fine. Was getting tired of giving away inducements.
Let's kick.
Yay. Whee.
Hm. Too bad.
So many stuns today.
Got the ball without a reroll. Their turn ends.
I'm lazy, so let's just walk up straight and asked for it.
Yay. Look at stabby go. Wow. Much...whatever.
Hey, that GFI is free with Sure feet amirite?
More people would be nice, calling in Humpy.
Rocket science. Not gonna waste last RR on it.
He is stunned by this decision.

eklektyk gets taken down.
While Big Bad blitzes guppy to free up some demon on the left.
Even Jasede can't stand up to the pounding from Morg as our LOS gets wiped.
They end their turn, marking stabby.
Guess it's time.
Walked eklektyk up there, only to realize he walked into Guard piece.
Oh well, dodge stabby out for assist cancel.
2D Block didn't get a Down we need on a Blodge carrier... I didn't reroll. Regretted it.
End of our turn.

Faggots
Angelo gets stunned as the blitzing Big Red repositions...
Ball dodges out -
Handover failure covered by Leader reroll.
