I started to put pressure on myself to win and enjoyed the game less. I had a couple of tournaments like it until I played lizardmen at KlingenCon L, where I didn't put pressure on myself because I had barely played the race before. I then went to a tournament after it, taking wood elves, as I now thought that I might have gotten my mojo back, but no. I didn't lose a game, but didn't win any either. So, what should I do?</p><p>Well, I figured that I should start taking stunties again, as they naturally come without pressure on the coach, as you're already in a bad position (although it can be argued that it isn't the case anymore).</p><p>I had already turned in my roster, using the same one as I used at KlingenCon L (see below), so no (just some speedy) stunties for me. Then I listened to a podcast where they said that the great players didn't go in to a game or a tournament with the mindset to win, but rather leave the opponent thinking "that was a hard fought win". Kind of the same mindset I had when I played halflings. I figured that I should give it a try. Just one game at a time and just do my best. Don't get upset about the dice and try to enjoy the game.</p><p>Let's see how this works out.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Roster</h3><p>6 Saurus (5xBlock, Wrestle)</p><p>4 Skinks</p><p>Chameleon</p><p>Kroxigor</p><p>2 RR</p><p>Apothecary</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Tournament</h3><p style="text-align: left;">Before I get in to the games, I have to give a hugh thank you to the organizers.

The lineman with the ball could however just make it to the hatch marks. This meant that I could divide the human team in two and put pressure on the cage. My opponent panicked and ran his lineman back to the right, but couldn't manage to protect it. This meant that I could blitz the now alone ball carrier with three dice and the ball was on the ground. A skink picked up the ball and I could stall out my score until turn 8.</p><p>I was in a good position and stalled my drive out for a score in turn 16. My opponent went for some difficult dodges to blitz my ball carrier and managed to get the ball on the ground and pick up the ball. In my turn 16 I then failed to get the ball off him and the game ended 1-0 (1-0).</p><p>I would previously probably have been upset about not getting the 2-0 win, but now I just liked that my opponent went for the impossible play and made it.

I went for it, trying to take advatage of the hole created by the lizardmen fans. I started my turn with a double skull, but rerolled and pushed through. Second turn, double skulls, but pushed through again. My opponent did everything to get to my ball carrier and put me under pressure.</p><p>I got away and in hindsight, should have scored, but decided to stall a bit more. My opponent managed to base my ball carrier with a blitzer and it came down to a 3+ dodge with a reroll, but it failed. The half ended 0-0.</p><p> My opponent argued the call and rolled a 1, looked at me and said, "I'll use my bribe". I then declared that he couldn't as that's not allowed anymore (see bribe description). When then rolled for the heat, where I lost three saurus and my opponent lost all his AG3+ players bar one. The half was 8 vs 8 and indeed a weird game.</p><p>The blitzer picks up the ball and runs forward and I pressure the dwarves, trying to overwhelm them with pure strength. Due to a quad skull from my opponent, the kroxigor stayed on his ball carrier, but couldn't get him down with two tries with three dice. I finally got the ball carrier down and a skink ran away with the balland scored in an attempt to get more saurus in the game as the weather had turned back to nice on the kick off for the second half.</p><p>More bad luck from my opponent and I could steal the ball again and scored for a second time.</p><p>The game ended 2-0 (0-0) for me.<br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Game 3 vs necromantic</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"> </h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuT-kABHGYIngNabNqbn8D1erQepRom_KCQZsfWshYGggTJsOXcseFaGKmy6DxmaSO5b6_ZcHw1MsMh-gpH_oMH6D2f8r5CxfFmIu49FFl8zVnQZ34jz5-vOUsrjz936TeV-jAoZVb6q6C8FcVxEqHxAUm_UTnLFpun9qXrZJDyQLyhelHaenJr3FcRQ/s4032/PXL_20220521_141807234.MP.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuT-kABHGYIngNabNqbn8D1erQepRom_KCQZsfWshYGggTJsOXcseFaGKmy6DxmaSO5b6_ZcHw1MsMh-gpH_oMH6D2f8r5CxfFmIu49FFl8zVnQZ34jz5-vOUsrjz936TeV-jAoZVb6q6C8FcVxEqHxAUm_UTnLFpun9qXrZJDyQLyhelHaenJr3FcRQ/w640-h480/PXL_20220521_141807234.MP.jpg" width="640" /></a> <br /></div><p>I decided to take the ball in the first half and tryied to take things slow, moving side to side and hopeing for a removale or two, as my oppoent only had 11 players.

My oppoent decided to receive and nothing really happend until turn 2, whwn a saurus was killed and later in the drive a skink. I tried to keep my cool and try to get the dark elves to score early. It became more and more difficult and I couldn't stop the elves from scoring at the end of the half. My OTTD-attempt failed and I had to make a decision to go for the draw, unless something happend.</p><p>I played very conservative and tried to move a bit every turn, but I couldn't get through. The dark elf defense was solid and I had to put some pressue on the evles. I moved my saurus in and forced my opponent to do something. Sadly, I missed a chain push and my opponent pushed my skink one square backwards, out of scoring range. One elf was next to my cage though and after what felt like a lifetime of thinking, I saw a chain push (the elf had to be pushed four or five times). Things wasn't made easier due to the crowed gather around our table. I went for it and managed to push my ball carrier back in to scoring range and scored, 1-1. I've never gotten applause after a turn of blood bowl, but now I have.</p><p>My opponents OTTD-attempt was stopped by a solid defense and the game ended 1-1 (0-2)<br /></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Game 6 vs khemri</h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"> </h3><h3 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhugT4S_XPMdZO9EY1poEU7WsdsdR-cKdkpANAI9UWr-OtC2z4xp8CbDVTt9avjoeE9ELmP0KgA0mdO09_LkU-0d228q2JEHqj4-hrFgpuQdAIp_9TGuejCUUgZjxGEC5ZJxDnD7mRzCukdZYb8fkCOL-AfSrEyxDmC9Q7LT6Q-W5VZT88kUGe7V3w4RA/s4032/PXL_20220522_132219965.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhugT4S_XPMdZO9EY1poEU7WsdsdR-cKdkpANAI9UWr-OtC2z4xp8CbDVTt9avjoeE9ELmP0KgA0mdO09_LkU-0d228q2JEHqj4-hrFgpuQdAIp_9TGuejCUUgZjxGEC5ZJxDnD7mRzCukdZYb8fkCOL-AfSrEyxDmC9Q7LT6Q-W5VZT88kUGe7V3w4RA/w640-h480/PXL_20220522_132219965.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></h3><p>Last game of the tournament and I was up against khemri. The bone guys received and started with twleve players on the pitch. I noticed during the kicked off and told my opponent. I didn't want to win the game (and tournament) due to that error, so we just removed a skeleton and put it back in to the dugout.</p><p>The khemri picked up the ball directly (a shame) and I tried to get in the way of the cage and split it from the rest of the team, but things were made hard by the krox not doing anything for the first four turns and me having to use my rerolls on double skulls. I did my best, but couldn't stop the khemri. Sadly, my OTTD-attempt was cut short as the chameleon couldn't manage the pass.</p><p>In my drive in the second half, I went side to side and managed to make the bone guys over commit, which left an opening for my score in turn 4.</p><p>It was a do or die situation, I needed to steal the ball and score for the win. I got a good chance as a pitch invasion cause the throw-ra in the back and the killer blitz-ra to be stunned and it was a deep kick, but I failed a one in nine dodge with a skink when I tried to screen off the players in the back of the khemri team. I tried to put pressure on and my opponent went for a potato play at the end of the drive.</p><p>Two skinks dodge out and powed the potato throw-ra and then managed to pick up the ball. My opponent left his throw-ra on the floor and blitz with a tomb guardin. Three dice, no pow. Reroll, both down and pushed. The both down is chosen and the skink lives, the ball bounces in to a tackle zone.</p><p>I was now face with the decision to either secure the tie or go for it all, which I did. I had to blitz a throw-ra marking a saurus away with a skink blitz, including two GFIs, then pick up in a tackle zone (4+), make a pass (5+) and then catcht with the now free saurus (5+). All I had to do after that was two GFIs and I made it all without using a reroll.</p><p>The game ended 2-1 (0-2).</p><p>That meant that I had now won my first NAF tournament. Yes, I had luck along the way, but most tournament victories do. <br /></p><p><img alt=""

/></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Conclusion</h3><p style="text-align: left;"> It would be to easy to make the conclusion that "as long as you don't pressure yourself, you win", but I think that my formula is to stress out less and accept the game as it is. Just try your best and the rest will come. I guess it's why I liked stunties so much, becuase that's exactly how I felt when I played them.</p><p style="text-align: left;">So, why don't you give stunties a go? Perhaps a team you haven't played before, which looks interesting. For me, that would currently be the khorne roster. </p><p style="text-align: left;">All I know is that I will try to stop putting pressurre on myself and just play the game, trying to give my opponent the toughest game possible. If I lose, they will hopefully think "that was a hard fought win".</p><p style="text-align: left;">Thank you for reading.<br /></p>Peddahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08184876450767992177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425775862844229940.post-23047724168734806502020-10-25T22:08:00.001+01:002020-10-25T22:08:17.448+01:00KKnD V<h3 style="text-align: left;"> Rules</h3><p>The tournament was played using the EuroBowl 2021-rules with the addition of a modified kick off table, which used elements from BB2020.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Roster</h3><p>I decided to play slann as I might not have the possibility to do so once BB2020 hits. I had a look at what I wrote after the last tournament with slann and adjusted my roster accordingly. The main points being losing the apo and not bringing a blitzer.</p><p>1 Froxigor (Block)</p><p>4 Catchers (3xDodge)</p><p>8 Linemen (2xBlock, Wrestle, Strip Ball)</p><p>3 Re-rolls</p><p>1 Coach</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Game 1 vs Dark Elves</h3><p>I got to decide if I would like to kick the ball and decided to do so, the decision made easier to the rain. The dark elves were cautious and let the runner stand in their own half with the ball for a couple of turns and the frogs used this to remove some elves from the field. As the runner then moved forward and passed the ball to one of the witch elves, thereby forgetting the rain, a re-roll was used and the dark elves retreated again. They were then forced to go down a sideline and the froxigor could blitz in and base the ball carrier next to the side line. The dark elves blitzed through the frog screen and the witch elf would have to dodge away from the froxigor and hand off the ball to a lineman in scoring range, but the witch elf failed her dodge due to prehensile tail and the ball went out and was thrown deep in to the half of the dark elves. The frogs then picked up the ball and scored in turn 8.</p><p>Most of the KOed elves didn't want to get back on the field and things were looking up for the frogs. However, I made an error in my set up and left a weak point for a blitz. The kick off was a blitz and the dark elves managed to stun the strip ball lineman and move in to catch the ball. The frogs surrounded the lone blitzer but couldn't bring him down with six block dice. The dark elves were forced to score after that and the frogs lined up to receive the ball again.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPKJKdgwnc_1TllrhOjnsjMo78quCj2WoYLDzcXZ8Kzjnpu5BQ-dSJJeXYau6GnnrhYGrLxOl6qrd4z1ELAaOh_Fe0FIHs2iLLdvXtqudmYeH1lPWwydYKugMM2aXE8Sqj-cTjJbwXW07H/s4032/PXL_20201024_080446412.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPKJKdgwnc_1TllrhOjnsjMo78quCj2WoYLDzcXZ8Kzjnpu5BQ-dSJJeXYau6GnnrhYGrLxOl6qrd4z1ELAaOh_Fe0FIHs2iLLdvXtqudmYeH1lPWwydYKugMM2aXE8Sqj-cTjJbwXW07H/w480-h640/PXL_20201024_080446412.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The frogs can't bring the dark elf blitzer down</td></tr></tbody></table><p><br />The second drive ended in a frog touchdown with time left on the clock for the dark elves.</p><p>As the dark elves moved forward to get players in scoring range, the frogs marked them and blitzed the "middle" dark elf, which would force a long pass. The runner moved up for the pass and rolled a 1. The last re-roll was used and it was another 1. The frogs could put tackle zones on the ball and the dark elves had one last chance to get the pass off, but once again a dodge away from the froxigor failed and the game was over.</p><p>End 2-1 (2-3)</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Game 2 vs Ogres</h3><div>Second game and I was up against some ogres with Brick and Grotty. The ogres started with the ball and the lineman with strip ball leap in and got the ball on the ground. The ogres (or rather Grotty) managed to dodge through the frogs and pick up the ball. Grotty was then thrown towards the endzone, but the frogs reached him and got the ball back. The frogs then stalled out the rest of the half and managed to remove one ogre in the process.</div><div><br /></div><div>The second half saw the frogs in trouble, when some snotlings managed to blitz the ball carrier, but the frogs could get the ball back and scored with three turns left for the ogres.</div><div><br /></div><div>The ogres couldn't get their offence going and the frogs stole the ball and ended the game with a third touchdown.</div><div><br /></div><div>End 3-0 (4-2)</div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Game 3 vs Old World Alliance</h3><p>I've never played against OWA and I was forced to receive the ball. I lost some players and was quite early down in numbers, which forced me to take some risks. I went to the right, to the left and back to the right. I needed a leap to work, to seal the edge, but failed it even with a re-roll. This left the door open for a blitz on the ball carrier and the OWA managed to steal the ball and scored in turn 8.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitpzvw5uw32CqsYsPhbRhy-jkDmZ66-d6nbL_1VKGUba8P2IKQfbPH0N4YU9YprDq9Oh2dmMyeARFG5zFumHgrMiBnXXhQg8DGDsYjR2u0_hM3bqIR9FgOn3wP-Oe6ZAXZdwOu2c1P5CUQ/s4032/PXL_20201024_140835363.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitpzvw5uw32CqsYsPhbRhy-jkDmZ66-d6nbL_1VKGUba8P2IKQfbPH0N4YU9YprDq9Oh2dmMyeARFG5zFumHgrMiBnXXhQg8DGDsYjR2u0_hM3bqIR9FgOn3wP-Oe6ZAXZdwOu2c1P5CUQ/w640-h480/PXL_20201024_140835363.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Not ideal<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><p>As I was down on both players and on the scoreboard, I had to up the pressure and I tried to leap in to the cage and get the ball on the ground.

It had also been more than a year since I played wood elves and I figured that it was time.</p><p>I had a look at what I had written about the wood elves in my last tournament with them and adopted my roster based on that. The biggest changes being that I took frenzy on a wardancer and left the apothecary at home in favor of a reroll.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Roster</h3><p>2 Wardancers (Strip Ball, Frenzy)</p><p>Treeman</p><p>Thrower (Leader)</p><p>3 Catchers</p><p>4 Linemen (Block, Wrestle)</p><p>2 Rerolls</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Game 1 vs chaos pact</h3><p>I was up against a star play that I hadn't seen before, Bob Bifford. Joining him was a mino with claw and a block troll. The team only had one leader reroll on the roster, which is risky.</p><p>The game started with the pact team on the receiving end of the kick off and they wasted no time and KOed an elf and the mino killed the treeman on the blitz. Not a great start for me, but I did my best to get in the way of the the pact team to slow it down. I managed to get the ball on the ground using my strip ball wardancer and I then tried to scatter the ball again to get it away from the pact team, but it ended back in the hands of the dark elf, but I had at least based the ball carrier.</p><p>In the following turn, my opponent rolled a one for the troll and the mino, which forced him to dodge with the ball carrier, without the reroll as it had already been spent. Another one and I could pick it up in turn 7 and move up the field, in to scoring range. The pact team could only push the ball carrier and I managed to score in turn 8.</p><p>I then scored again in the middle of the second half and had thereby probably already won the game.</p><p>The following kick was short and the orc caught it close to the LOS.</p><p>I was able to put some pressure on the pact team and my opponent decided to give the ball to Bob.</p><p>No the worst idea, but I could hinder the advance from the pact team and keep them off the scoreboard</p><p>End 2-0 (0-4).</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Game 2 vs norse</h3><p>This was the best game of the tournament. Very tactical and the first half was a thriller.</p><p>I forced my opponent to go to one side and then back again, but he could as the yeti killed the treeman, that was covering his route to the other side. At least the treeman lasted longer in this game, all the way to turn 4. However, the position enabled me to chain push my block lineman in to his cage and put an assist in place. Sadly, I coldn't get the ball carrier down and my opponent escaped again. I had a chance, but failed the leap with my strip ball wardancer and my opponent could score in turn 8.</p><p>At this point, I had five elves on the field, but I still set up for the OTTD. The kick off was a touchback, which helped, but I made an error with my thrower in the back field. He needed to go forward and cover a square for the last push, which I hadn't seen. A mental error, but I almost managed the push part of an OTTD with just five elves.</p><p>I was down on players which sadly meant that I couldn't hold off for the draw. I was forced to score early and I didn't get enough people back on the field to really be able to stop my opponent.</p><p>End 1-2 (1-4)</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Game 3 vs dwarves</h3><p>Up against some dwarves and their deathroller. I got to decided and went for kicking, which I usually do. The first turn for the dwarves wasn't that spectacular and I was a bit hopeful. I then started my turn and the treeman rooted. Not great, but no the end of the world. I wanted him to tie up a couple of dwarves, but alas. The deathroller then blitz my frenzy wardancer, killing him in turn 2 and I was now down two players and the half got very difficult. However, my opponent left me a 4+ dodge for a 1d on the ball in turn 7 which I took and the ball was on the ground. I couldn't pick it up, but I had forced the dwarves to roll some dice. This proved too much and the runner failed to catch the ball in the endzone.</p><p>I then started the second half by rooting my treeman, which wasn't great. I had to score earlier than I wanted, which left the dwarves four turns to score. I managed to knock the ball out of the runners hands, but couldn't pick it up with my wardancer and the dwarves could run of with the ball in the hands of a blitzer. I could reach, all I needed was to dodge out, but I rolled a 1.</p><p>End 1-1 (0-3)</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Game 4 vs dark elves</h3><p>Dark elves with all four blitzers (two with dodge), both witches (with block) and a leader runner.</p><p>I kicked and my opponent started the game by blocking with his linemen, using the blitzers for the assistant. Very weird and risky. His blitz was also risky as it was a 2d in to a 1d, even though it didn't have to be. I then answered by sending some players through his line and threatening his runner with the ball in the backfield. My opponent then scored in turn 2 and I had the whole half to surf two blitzers and get some hits in before scoring in turn 8. My surfs did nothing and I caused nothing but a stunned or two. My opponent managed some KOs and I was down on players in the second half.</p><p>All I had to do now was to keep my cool and score late for at least the draw, but everything went down hill fast. My opponent managed to KO some of my players and I managed to fail dodged and thereby killing my own players. I was swamped by the dark elves and I couldn't hold on and was overwhelmed, losing the ball and my opponent could score in turn 16.</p><p>End 1-2 (0-0)</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Summary</h3><p>First of all, I was happy with the frenzy wardancer and when/if I play wood elves again, he'll be on the roster. I didn't miss the apothecary that much as I lost so many players, but the reroll was essential. Not sure if either option is wrong, but I think I'll go for a reroll next time.</p><p>Considering that I was down on players in every game, I'm not too unhappy with my play. The most annoying thing is the loss in game 4. I should have one that one, but the amount of failed dodges and KOs just meant that it was too easy for my opponent.</p><p>My NAF-ranking will take a hit, but that's how it works. Hopefully I'll be able to salvage it sometime in the future, but I will take a break from AG4 teams for a while. I'll play lizardmen in my next tournament in three weeks (if the Corona rules aren't changed before then). Wish me luck and more CAS inflicted than received.</p><p>Thanks for reading.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit:</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It did not work out as I had hoped.

Great start.</div><div>I was forced to receive to start the game, which isn't really what I like to do. I managed to score, but earlier than I wanted due to KOs. I however got enough frogs back to field 11 and managed to stop the orcs from scoring ending the half 1-0. I felt like I had secured the draw and expected the orcs to just grind up the pitch for a turn 16 score, because I was yet again down on players.</div><div><br /></div><div>As I kicked the ball to the orcs, a 10 was rolled and I was able to screen of the orcs from their thrower in the back and mark said thrower with the blitzer. If all went well, I'd be able to steal the ball in turn 9. It wasn't to be as the blitzer was stunned by the thrower and the orcs could eventually pick up the ball and start their walk down the field for a turn 16 score.</div><div><br /></div><div>End 1-1</div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Game 2 vs pact</h3><div>I yet again lost the roll for FAME, even though I had a fan factor of four.</div><div>This time I got to kick and my opponent went down the sideline, which I didn't mind at all. His ogre and troll took turns being stupid and I could put pressure on him early on. There was a situation where I blitzed his mino with my froxigor and a push would have surfed his ball carrier, but I got double both down, stunning the mino. My opponent recovered and then decided to go for an unnecessary block with his ogre, which resulted in a double both down and he failed his loner. That changed the drive and I got the ball on the ground. I also managed to injure some of his key players before the second half, making things easier for me. I managed to hold out for a 1-0 victory in the second half.</div><div><br /></div><div>End 1-0</div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Game 3 vs dark elves</h3><div>Third and final game of the tournament and this time I managed to get the FAME advantage. </div><div>The elves elected to kick and I moved forward, slow and steady. Playing it as a bash team, pushing the elves backwards. My opponent had to cash dive in the later stage of the half, managed it, but couldn't pick the ball up, which was very lucky for me (well, getting the cage dive was also lucky). I then picked the ball up, secured the ball and could score in turn 8. My opponent had suffered some casualties in the first half, so I liked my odds of winning this one and my luck continued. I could eventually put some pressure on the elves and they handed the ball to a blodge blitzer, but lacking sure hands and dump off, the ball was striped out of his hands and the frogs could recover the ball for a 2-0 win.</div><div><br /></div><div>End 2-0</div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Summary</h3></div><div>It was a fun tournament and everyone enjoyed themselves.

I didn't feel that I missed the apo too much as I don't really have any player that I can't live without, except for the froxigor, but he rarely leaves the pitch and the team would work without him. However, I didn't feel that the blitzer did enough to warrant the extra cost. His extra skills and movement is good, but a lineman can usually do the same job just as well.<div><br /></div><div>Considering that I didn't really miss the apo and wasn't convinced by the blitzer, I'm thinking about trading in the blitzer and 3 fan factor for a lineman and a fourth catcher. I'd then leave two catchers naked and give the blitzer skill to a lineman.

Game 2 vs Skaven</h3><div>I don't remember too much from this game other than me having quite good dice and I managed to get some rats off the field.

<h3>
Game 3 vs Wood Elves</h3>
I usually don't get worked up during a game of blood bowl, but this one was really frustrating. I couldn't break AV7, but he could and he used the GW wood elf team (except for the catchers), painted everything white and told me that the linemen with their hand down was the catchers. I was confused where the catchers were and got annoyed. Tilted, yes and not his fault. I played badly and lost the game 1-3.<div><br /></div><div>Future opponents, please mark/paint your base rims in different colours if you insist on doing a mono colour scheme on your team. It's hard to tell if a hand is up or down from across the table when the whole team is just white. Making out the hands can be difficult enough. This is not how you should win a game of blood bowl (I'm not saying that this was the only reason that my opponent won).</div><div><br />

Game 4 vs High Elves</h3>
<div>I was up against a newer coach and he made an error in turn 1, which meant that I could blitz his ball carrier by passing a 2+ dodge, which I did.

Summary</h3><div>I ended the tournament on a 3-1-2 record, which I wasn't that happy with. I was told to play pro elves as I was considered for the Swedish national team with them and I just needed one good tournament to make the cut. Sadly, this wasn't it as I needed at least four wins, which made the last game even more upsetting, with the ridiculous sack on my ball carrier (but it happens and my opponent was right in going for it).</div><div><br /></div><div>I like pro elves, but I regretted not taking slann, which was my original plan, as I had so much fun with them at the world cup IV.</div><div><br /></div><div>Currently, I'm a bit feed up with elves and I'm looking forward to playing more AG3-based team like slann, lizardmen, skaven and undead/necro. </div></div>Peddahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08184876450767992177noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425775862844229940.post-10316317623429397982020-07-28T23:08:00.000+02:002020-07-28T23:08:03.878+02:00Krush Kill N Destroy IV<h3>

Game 3 vs Dark Elves</h3>
<div>Up against Sprinter and his dark elves. Quite similar rosters, but Sprinter had AV8 in larger numbers than I had. He decided to receive first, which was a surprise to me, but as he explained after the game, he did so to be able to control the game in the sense of having 1-0 at half time and then force the opponent to either go for a draw or an early score and steal. I hadn't thought about it this way before, but it makes sense against lower AV7 teams in that a numbers advantage should be achievable, which should then secure the draw or enable the win.

Sprinter had to go for a potato play with one of his witches. I managed to run her down and get the ball on the ground. Sadly, I didn't break her armour and she was still in scoring range with jump up. I even went for a foul with two assist, but couldn't roll above a five. Sprinter then managed to get to the ball and pass the ball to the witch in turn 16. So disappointing as I should have been able to break her armour and the game would have ended in a draw, which would have been fair, in my view.<br /><br />

Game 4 vs Vampires</h3>

<h3>
Game 7 vs Dark Elves</h3>
<div>
<a href="http://nafworldcup.sbbm-turniere.com/1/B1A/B1AA02.html" target="_blank">A loaded dark elf team with all the positionals including an assassin</a>, which on day three was quite scary. All the blitzers had dodge and the witches had either wrestle or block.<br />
<br />
The elves started with the ball and moved from side to side. It was an interesting positional game and I made an error when I didn't reroll the 1 for the kroxigor blitz in one turn. I had three dice on the wrestle witch and kind of needed the kroxigor in front of the cage, but as always this was something I realized afterwards. I managed to force my opponent to roll dice for his score in turn 8, but nothing too hard or impossible. Solid play from my opponent.<br />

The second half saw the frogs with the ball and I yet again made an error, putting a linefrog one field to the side, opening up my cage for a 4+ dodge, which my opponent took. I recovered the ball and passed to a catcher, interception! No, that was not the plan and all that could save me now was snake eyes from my opponent. My opponent declared the dodge and rolled the dice and lifted his dice cup. Snake eyes! That saved me and I could score in turn 16.<br />
<br />
My opponent set up for the one turner, but a double pow stopped his attempt and the game ended in a tie. Great game in which I was a bit lucky.<br />
<br />
End 1-1 (0-2)<br />
<h3>
Game 8 vs Amazons</h3>
Amazons, another team I rarely face. <a href="http://nafworldcup.sbbm-turniere.com/1/BA5/BA5A02.html" target="_blank">This team had brought Roxy and eleven regular players</a>. A bit thin on the ground for my taste, but each to his own. My goal was to remove Roxy as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
I got the ball to start off the half and a blitz was rolled for the kick off, which meant that I was under pressure from turn 1. My dice went hot and a couple of ladies left the pitch, which made things easier and I even fouled Roxy once, but couldn't do more than stun her. I could move the ball in to his half in turn three and he regrouped, setting up a screen, which included Roxy, in front of my kroxigor. I declared a blitz on Roxy in turn 4, got the pow I needed and she was off the pitch, for good. My catcher with the ball could then move out of reach from the rest of his team and I could score in turn 8.<br />
<br />
Second half continued as the first half, with hot dice for me and I could steal the ball for 2-0. In his second offense, a perfect defense was rolled and the ball was caught by a linewoman next to my kroxigor. A bit of a pickel for my opponent, but he managed to get out of the situation and I went for another steal, which failed. My opponent could then score in his following turn, but that left me enough time to score the wining 3-1 touchdown.<br />
<br />
End 3-1 (4-0)<br />
<h3>
Game 9 vs Chaos</h3>
Game 9 and it was my first duplicated race as opponent, <a href="http://nafworldcup.sbbm-turniere.com/1/BA8/BA8A06.html" target="_blank">but this chaos team had brought a mino</a>, The team had won best painted in it's category and it was a joy to play against it to finish off the tournament.<br />
<br />
I had played against a chaos team with mino at the <a href="https://bbpedda.blogspot.com/2019/05/berlin-open-2019.html">Berlin Open</a> before and I found it quite easy to handle the scary mino, ignore it and try to force the game to be played on the other half, away from the mino. This forces the opponent to use his blitz for positioning and that leaves the mino even further behind.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
This is exactly what happened in this game as I forced my opponent down the side on which the mino wasn't. I played very well here and force my opponent to a halt. The half ended without a score.<br />
<br />
My plan for the second half was to score quickly in order to secure the draw. I moved through and set up a sideline cage. I positioned a lineman to cover one of the corners, to save him from being surfed by the frenzy goat, but in hindsight, I should have put this linefrog in the gap between my corners. As it were, my opponent went in for the 6+ dodge and made it, pushing my catcher off the field and the ball bounced all the way back to my half. A goat managed to pick the ball up and I rushed back to blitz it. Two dice, skull and push. I now had to hope for a failed 3+ dodge, but my opponent scored. I however still had time left to score for the draw.<br />
<br />
I made the same play, a sideline cage, but I learned from my misstake and put a player in the gap between the cage corners. My opponent couldn't stop me from scoring and the game ended in a draw.<br />
<br />
End 1-1 (1-2)<br />
<h3>
Conclusion</h3>
<div>
What a tournament! I had a good time and played against great opponents!</div>
<div>
The organizers had some problems on day 1, reducing the number of games to two, but they managed to squeeze in four games on day 2. I tip my hat to the organizers, who did this in their spare time, providing a nine game tournament to 1400+ coaches. Wow!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm very happy with my choice of team and I had fun in all my nine games. I didn't feel that I was out of any game, even if the odds were against me. My roster was good and I'm going to use it again at a tournament in Hannover in March, but with some minor tweaks. I'll try to get kick and frenzy on the roster, which the <a href="http://nafworldcup.sbbm-turniere.com/1/B46/B46A01.html">best slann player had on his roster</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'll use something very different at my next tournament, <a href="https://thekknd.jimdofree.com/">K K N D - K R U S H - K I L L - N - D E S T R O Y - I I I - 2 0 1 9 - CHRISTMAS EDITION</a>. It's time to get that painted deathroller on the blood bowl pitch. Wish me luck as I get out of my comfort zone.</div>

Game 4 vs Khemri</h3>
I was up against a very well painted khemri team, a race I rarely play against. <a href="http://www.nafworldcup.sbbm-turniere.com/1/B7B/B7BA04.html" target="_blank">The roster</a> seemed solid and I was wary of the mighty blow+tackle blitz-ra getting to my catchers. My opponent decided to defend to start of the game.<br />

My goal was to score late in the first half, leaving next to no time for the khemri to score back. I succeeded in doing this, but not in the way I thought I would. My dice went hot and the khemri left the pitch left and right (although, they made their reg.) . I was expecting my frogs to leave the pitch at that rate, but that's blood bowl. It's weird sometimes. I scored in turn 8 and we lined up for the second half.<br />

I got the ball on the ground early and went in for the pick up and punt play, but couldn't pick it up. If I had, it would probably have been over then and there. As it turned out, this game went down to the wire. I later managed to get the ball on the ground again and my opponent had to dodge away form the kroxigor with his throw-ra to go for the pick up. The dodge was successful after the use of the last re-roll, but then the throw-ra failed the pick up.<br />

End 1-0 (5-4)<br />
<h3>
Game 5 vs Chaos</h3>
Game 5 pitched me against <a href="http://www.nafworldcup.sbbm-turniere.com/1/B02/B02A04.html" target="_blank">a chaos team without a mino</a> and I was a bit surprised that I hadn't faced chaos before the halfway line of the tournament. I kicked the ball to start it all off and the half went as expected, but I was surprised when my opponent left his claw+mighty blow open to a 3d for my kroxigor in turn 1, but I had to go for it. Yes, you guess it, my kroxigor rolled a 1. The half was a very tactical and positional game and it looked like I could keep the chaos team out of the endzone, but I then made a huge error. I had set up a screen and got greedy. I blocked with my kroxigor and yes, a 1. Darn, that left my screen week in one place and my opponent just needed to blitz on player out of the way to move through. I leaped a linefrog out to cover this error and failed, even with the use of a re-roll. Lesson to be learned here, the order of actions. I should have leaped with the linefrog before blocking, to know if I could cover the error if the kroxigor rolled a 1 or double skulls, but I got carried away. This meant that the chaos team could get through and score in turn 8.<br />

</tbody></table>
My opponent put up a good defense and I yet again made an error and had to go for it with the ball carrier. The GFI failed, even after the use of a re-roll. I was in trouble and the game turned in to a scrum for the ball. One of my linefrogs ended up with the ball in his hands and moved up the field, potato style. The chaos team blitzed him down, but I had two chances of getting in to the endzone in turn 15 and 16, both 3+'s. Nuffle said no both times and the game ended in a loss. Fun game though and exactly why I went for slann, even the loses are fun.<br />
<br />
End 0-1 (3-2)<br />
<h3>
Game 6 vs Underworld</h3>
An underworld team with Skitter Stab-Stab ended day 2. I was quite happy that there was no sign of a Glart on <a href="http://www.nafworldcup.sbbm-turniere.com/1/B42/B42A01.html" target="_blank">the roster</a>. I received the ball and the game started with a blitz, which put me under pressure from turn 1, but I think that my opponent overcommitted and put his good players in reach of mine. Skitter left the field in turn 2 and his team mates soon followed. My opponents dice were horrible and I could easily score in turn 8.<br />
<br />
The second half could have seen the underworld team scoring and they got very close to doing so, but I managed to steal the ball and score in turn 16.<br />
<br />
End 2-0 (3-0)<br />

Flings was an option, but another squad member (whom sadly couldn't make it in the end) wanted to play flings, so I had to go for something else. I've played some slann on FUMBBL and can't really remember a game in which I didn't have fun and that's why I went for slann. You're never out of it with slann and I was originally testing a roster with two blitzers, three catchers and a kroxigor with eleven players. It didn't really work so I switched to the roster below, which I'm very happy with.<br />
<h3>

Game 1 vs Humans</h3>
<a href="http://www.nafworldcup.sbbm-turniere.com/1/BDC/BDCA05.html" target="_blank">I was up against humans, with some different skill choices.</a><br />
No ogre, which meant that my kroxigor would be more difficult to deal with for the humans, especially considering that they only had one guard blitzer.<br />

Game 2 vs Necromantic</h3>
<a href="http://www.nafworldcup.sbbm-turniere.com/1/BCB/BCBA03.html" target="_blank">A necromantic team with one ghoul and no sure hands</a>. Also just one block skill on day 1, which I was happy with. I managed to stop his drive and score for the first half.<br />
<br />
The second half started with a pitch invasion and in the end, I didn't manage to score after a zombie caught a bouncing ball.<br />

<h3>
Game 3 vs Norse</h3>
What a game this was, a real nail biter that went down to the wire. My opponent, a Spanish coach <a href="http://www.nafworldcup.sbbm-turniere.com/1/B95/B95A04.html" target="_blank">playing norse</a> started by receiving the ball and he went down one sideline, removing some frogs on the way. I leapt in and stripped the ball, which landed on the sideline. My opponent managed to pick it up again, but had to use a re-roll. The norse team went forward and lined up to foul my strip ball frog and rolled snake eyes! His player was sent off and I could once again leap in and strip the ball. This time I even managed to pick it up and punt it down the pitch.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The second half was equally exciting. I was put under pressure in my half after a turnover, but managed to move the ball in to his half with a couple of turns left in the half. My hopes of a draw ended with double skulls, but what a fun game it had been. A draw would have been fair, but that's the way it goes sometime.</div>

Roster</h3>
<div>
I used the following wood elf roster for the tournament, in which you were given one normal skill prior to each game (after having seen the opponents roster).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2 Wardancers</div>
<div>
Thrower</div>
<div>
3 Catchers</div>
<div>
4 Linemen</div>
<div>
Treeman</div>
<div>
2 Re-rolls</div>
<h3>
Game 1 vs orcs (strip ball wardancer)</h3>
First game against orcs, which I wasn't too sad about. The orcs only got one skill, which meant that my dodge should keep my catchers safe. I received the ball and moved up the field, going from side to side. I was eventually forced to score in turn 5.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
This left my opponent four turns to score, which isn't impossible with orcs, but the kick was deep and I was able to put my opponent under pressure. The ball was still deep in his half in turn 8 and my opponent made a long pass to a black orc followed by a hand off to a blitzer, who had to dodge and GFI for the 1-1. My opponent made it all without a re-roll.<br />
<br />
I managed to stop his offense in the second half and steal the ball. All I needed was to pass the ball to a catcher in a tacklezone, dodge twice and GFI for the score. Unfortunately for me, the black orc marking the catcher intercepted the ball and the game ended in a 1-1 draw.<br />
<br />
End 1-1 (1-1)<br />
<br />
(After the game, I realized that the black orc wasn't in a position to intercept the ball at all, but by then it was too late)<br />
<h3>
Game 2 vs dwarves (leader thrower)</h3>
I don't remember much about this game except that my dice were hot. The dwarves were outnumbered in the first half and I turned the ball over and managed to score in his drive. He stopped my offense in the second half as my elves started to leave the pitch, but as I didn't need to push for the win, I didn't have to take any risks.<br />
<br />
1-0 (2-3)<br />

As I was up against wood elves, I went for tackle, which I regret. Frenzy would have been a better choice based on the teams I faced later in the tournament and even based on how this game went.</div>

Next time I play wood elves, I'm going to take frenzy instead.</div>

I was now going for the 2-1 grind. This however didn't work as my opponent failed nothing before turn 15, including the leaps in to my cage. He stopped my offense in the first half and I was now playing for a draw.<br />
<br />
I again moved up the pitch and was standing with a cage next to the endzone when my opponent leap in again and the ball scattered and landed in the endzone. All I had to do was knock a lineman down with four dice. I didn't work and I failed the pick up. The ball the scattered in to the hands of said lineman. In my opponents next turn, the ball was moved down the field and his wardancer failed to catch the ball in my half (first fail of the game for him), but the ball was out of reach so the wardancer picked the ball up in turn 16 and scored.<br />
<br />
I didn't lose this game to dice. They didn't help, but I made some mistakes, which cost me the game.<br />
I focused too much on his diving tackle catcher with my tackle wardancer for one.<br />

End 0-2 (1?-1?)<br />
<h3>
Game 4 vs Brets (block lineman)</h3>
My opponent went down the sideline with his ball carrier, before covering it. He then had to use his re-roll and still make GFI to cover the ball carrier, which then failed. I went in and stole the ball and scored in his turn 8. My opponent was frustrated with his dice, but I don't really agree. He took some suboptimal decision, like not covering his ball carrier before going for risky dice.<br />
<br />
The second half saw me scoring in turn 12, hoping to steal the ball again.<br />
<br />
However, I made a mistake, not moving some players before going for the blitz and after I failed it, my opponent could move forward. Not the end of the world as I still won the game.<br />
<br />
End 2-1<br />
<h3>
Game 5 vs norse (wrestle lineman)</h3>
Last game of the tournament and I was up against norse, which can be tricky for wood elves. I all depends on how the first couple of turns go. It didn't go well for me in this game.<br />

</tbody></table>
By the start of turn 3, my treeman, thrower a catcher and a linemen were all in the casualty box. I also had a catcher in the KO-box. Not great.<br />
<br />
I'm still proud of myself as I didn't complain and just focused on the game. With only six players on the field, I managed to get the ball on the ground twice. Sadly, the scatter was perfect for him and he could recover both times. He scored in his turn 8.<br />
<br />
I was hoping for the one turn touchdown, but a perfect defense was rolled.<br />
<br />
I was outnumbered in the second half and went to one sideline. My opponent responded by moving his complete team to that side, which was what I was hoping for. I went backwards and handed off to a catcher, who ran down the other sideline. I scored in turn 11, hoping to be able to somehow manage a draw.<br />
<br />
I wasn't to be and my opponent could easily score in turn 16, but I never gave up, even with only two players on the pitch.<br />
<br />
End 1-2 (0-6 +1 foul CAS)<br />
<br />
(My opponent commended me on my attitude and I'm proud of myself for not giving up and just playing the game. This is something I'll take away from this tournament and my last game, a complete disaster ended up being the game I'm most proud of. Also, my opponent won most CAS from this game.)<br />
<h3>
Conclusion</h3>
I my record ended up being 2-1-2, which I wasn't happy with. It was still a fun tournament and the location and organization was perfect. My NAF-ranking went below 200 after this tournament and I need to get up again, but I think I'll let the wood elves rest for a while.<br />

Next tournament will be the World Cup IV, in which I'll play slann.Peddahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08184876450767992177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425775862844229940.post-205099845051537532019-06-30T22:44:00.003+02:002019-06-30T22:45:39.377+02:00Krush Kill N Destroy - 2019<h3>
Roster</h3>
The tournament was payed using the world cup 2019 rules. Game 1 and 2 used the rules for day 1 and game 3 and 4 used the rules for day 2.<br />
<br />
I tried my slann roster and I've more or less settled on the following roster<br />
<br />
1 Kroxigor - block*<br />
2 Blitzers - 2xblock'<br />
3 catchers - 3xdodge*<br />
5 linemen - wrestle* and wrestle**+strip ball**<br />
3 Re-rolls<br />
Apothecary<br />
<br />
I'm still not completely decided on the stacked skill. This could also be a skill for one of the blitzers, like guard, mighty blow or perhaps tackle.<br />
<br />
Wrestle and strip ball is good, great even, but how often will it be useful?<br />
There will be some teams with sure hands and the extra skill on a blitzer might provide more uses.<br />
<br />
I'll have to test it sometime soon as the roster needs to be submitted in August.<br />
<h3>
Game 1 vs Dark Elves</h3>
First tame was against a standard dark elf roster with a wrestle witch, a block witch and a leader runner. I had recently played a test game against dark elves, which I won, so I was feeling quite good about the match up.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I got to kick and I didn't put any pressure on my opponent, just defending my half. My opponent moved the ball carrier up quickly and made a pass towards another player, but the ball was fumbled and the frogs could get the ball and score a couple of turns later. This left the elves with time left to score in the second half, which they did, dodging away from diving tackle for the score.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wasn't too upset though as I was receiving in the second half. The plan was to stall it out until turn 16 and things looked good up til turn 14. My opponent could blitz with a witch, but failed a GFI for the blitz. I then moved up and marked the witch with a blitzer, forcing my opponent to dodge through my screen to get to the ball carrier (no re-rolls left at this point). He managed and got the ball on the ground. To add insult to injury, the witch picked up the ball. I spent a re-roll on my blitz in turn 15, but I couldn't get her down with four dice. The elves failed to score in turn 16 and the game ended in a 1-1 draw.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was a draw, but it felt like a loss. I should have scored in turn 15 and would at worst have a draw. This way, I could even have lost, but a double skull stopped my opponent from even being able to try.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In hindsight, I should have scored in turn 15 or fouled the witch with a catcher, but that's the way the game is sometimes. Getting fooled in to thinking that you're save, when in reality there's a one ins six chance of anything to work, even that difficult dodge to get to your ball carrier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Event hough I didn't lose the game, it felt like I did and I was going in to game two a bit tilted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
End 1-1</div>
<br />
<h3>
Game 2 vs Humans</h3>
I was up against a human roster with a low number of re-rolls, but a bribe onboard.<br />
<br />
As we rolled for weather, we got very sunny, which I wasn't too found off. However, it got worse when I kicked the ball to my opponent, as the weather changed to sweltering heat.<br />
<br />
Fortunately for me, the first foul triggered the bribe and a failed pick up enable me to put the humans under pressure quickly.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Humans under pressure</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
This forced my opponent in to bad positions and I had a 2d blitz on his ball carrying catcher without block. I didn't get the catcher down with my blitzer, so I decided to use my re-roll to get another set of two dice, but without a positive result. This forced my opponent to score quickly and I was left with enough time to score back. I managed to do so before the half, but without my kroxigor, which figured that it was too hot.<br />
<br />
We rolled for sweltering heat and three of my players were out. This meant that I was now down in numbers and under pressure without the ball even having been kicked.<br />
<br />
I had to go forward, but lost the ball and I had one last chance, a leap, 1d blitz with a lineman. This enabled me to chainpush players off the ball and then leap a blitzer on to the ball and if I had managed the pick up, I would have scored and hopefully ended with a draw (at worst).<br />
<br />
Sadly, I failed the pick up and the humans could scope the ball up and score at the end of the game.<br />
<br />
End 1-2<br />
<br />
<h3>
Game 3 vs Bretonnians</h3>
I was up against a newer player and I managed to get the ball off the bretonnians in the first half and also score before the half.<br />
<br />
I felt quite good about the game, but I made one fatal error, miscounting the squares from my ball carrier to his knight. The knight stunned my catcher and I could still salvage the drive, if I could just dodge a catcher back to act as an assist for the blitz, but I snake the dodge and the knight could scope up the ball for a 1-1 score.<br />
<br />
Still enough time to score, so I could just win the game. No more mistakes and I'd be alright.<br />
Well, it didn't help that it took two turns to pick up the ball (even using a re-roll on the second attempt). I was again under pressure, but I could get the ball away. I just needed a 2+ leap to get away with a catcher. A 1 and I was already out of re-rolls due to a double skull in the beginning of that turn. My opponent then had one last chance for the win. Dodging with a lineman, 2 GFIs and a long bomb, but it failed. The game ended in a draw.<br />
<br />
End 1-1<br />
<h3>
Gamve 4 vs Chaos Pact</h3>
For the last game, I was up against Morg'n'Thorg and his friends. There was a troll with claw, a skaven and a goblin plus a bunch of renegades.<br />
<br />
My opponent picked up the ball with Morg and my wrestle + strip ball lineman really came to its own in this game. I could steal the ball from Morg and score in the first half.<br />
<br />
All I had to do now was keep the ball for the second half and that's what I did. Morg got the ball once and I just got it back. I could have scored in turn 16, but failed a dodge. Still won the game though, so it didn't matter.<br />
<br />
End 1-0<br />
<h3>
Conclusion</h3>
I like the slann team and most games are fun, which is great for the world cup and the reason for me taking them. However, as a blood bowl coach, I need to be able to reset. A bad first game shouldn't tilt you and set the tone for a whole tournament. I need to work on that. Learn, release and reset before the next game. I kind of did, but the sweltering heat just took me right down again, as I was playing well up to that point.<br />
<br />
I need to play a couple of test games with a stacked blitzer instead of the lineman. The lineman was great in game 4, but not as much in game 3, due to sure hands. A skill that I believe will be quite common at the world cup. A blitzer with guard might be more useful. I'll give that a try. I've also been playing around with the idea of three blitzers. More team value on the pitch.<br />

I had the possibility of a 3+ pass, followed by a 2+ catch and a dodge with re-roll for an early 2-0. I wanted to score quickly before I started to lose players and maybe even push for the 3-0.</span><br />

A push (ball carrier had sure hands) from my strip baller followed by a skull in turn 16 meant that my opponent only needed two GFIs for the win. First GFI was a 1, but my opponent had a re-roll left (which he almost used for a failed GFI for a blitz on my ball carrier to stop my score). The second GFI wasn't a 1 and the game ended 1-2.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">My opponent started with the ball and made a 4+ pass in turn 2, which was very risky considering that I had two catchers in the vicinity, in case of a fumble. This meant that I had loads of time to score back, but things didn't go as planned. My kroxigor decided to bonehead three turns in a row, which meant that I had forgone a blitz and there was a hole in my line.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This meant that my opponent could put me under pressure and the ball changed hands a couple of times. One of the times was due to my opponent forgetting diving tackle on my blitzer and instead of leaping away, he dodged (the catcher had sure hands, so the leap was as good) and rolled a 1, used a re-roll and rolled a 2. I just put my blitzer down and saw the horror in my opponents eyes. That alone is reason enough for playing slann at the world cup.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">My opponent recovered that ball later in the half and decided to stall in range of my strip ball wrestle lineman. Not the best decision and the half eneded 0-1.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">My plan for the second half was to bash him, trying to get ride of his blitzers (especially his wrestle strip ball one). I KOed both his blitzers and had the man advantage. I caged and went down a sideline. Sadly, my opponent could leap in and get the ball on the ground (needing a pow), which he did thrice. The last time even saw him punt the ball in to my half.</span><br />

Sadly, it wasn't meant to be and I lost the game.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I ended the tournament on 2-1-3, which I'm not too happy about, but my games were fun and I'm sure that slann is the right team for me at the world cup. I'm still working on the roster though as there are so many possibilities with slann. Next tournament for me will be kknD, also using the world cup rules (four games, 1&2 day 1 and 3&4 day 2).</span><br />

I didn't consider my team for very long as I wanted to increase my NAF-Ranking with wood elves to maybe secure a spot in Team Sweden 2020 and as it's a major, there's double points to be had (and lost).</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I went for wood elves and almost used the same roster as <a href="https://bbpedda.blogspot.com/2017/04/dungeonbowl-2017.html" target="_blank">last time</a>.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The nurgle team moved down the pitch and scored in turn 8.

Still tried, but the dice didn't play along. </span><br />

I figured that my chances were next to none after that, but my opponent made a mistake in his set up and it wasn't over just yet. I actually managed the one turn touchdown, ending the first half on a 1-1 draw.</span><br />

I was forced to score in turn 15 and was quite confident that I would at least manage a draw, especially since my opponent didn't have any re-rolls left. Still, two turns with dark elves is far from impossible.</span><br />

The kick also landed just behind the LOS. After a failed dodge, he had just one player in scoring range and the ball was on the ground, unguarded. I picked it up and formed a cage around the ball carrier. This meant that I managed to win my first game in the tournament!</span></span><br />

The dwarves managed to push through (partly due to a snake eyes on a dodge), but I managed to stop the from reaching the endzone and the half ended in a 0-0 tie.<br />
<br />
I received the kick and planned on scoring as late as possible. My opponent left a flank quite open and after two lucky stunns, I went for an early push down one side.<br />

It was made even more likely when only one of my four KOs came back. A deep kick gave me hope, but a thrown rock made things even harder. One runner picked up the ball in their endzone and handed off to the other runner, which meant that the dwarves were almost at the LOS with three turns remaining. I the suffered two turn overs to snakes and couldn't get in front of the dwarves. They could easily score in turn 16.</span><br />

It started to rain during the ensuing kick off and the ball landed on the sideline. My opponent had to pick up the ball this time, which he did, but I could put him under pressure with my wardancer and a catcher. This resulted in some dodges and a pass to a werewolf a couple of turns later, but the werewolf failed the last GFI for the equalizer. My opponent was very unlucky in this game and the double skulls in turn 15 and 16 kind of summed up the game.<br />

Conclusion</h3>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I ended with a 3-2-1 record, which I was quite happy with. I was hoping for four wins, but sometimes it's just not possible. I ended in place 23 out of a 100 coaches.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: "roboto" , "arial" , sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">When contemplating my roster prior to the tournament, I was considering frenzy for the second wardancer (instead of tackle) and I kind of wish I had gone down that route. It depends on what you face and I'm sure that tackle would have been great against some opponents, but I had little use for it (only against the ghouls in game 5 and 6). I think I'll give frenzy a go next time I take the wood elves (which might be a while).</span><br />

The apo didn't do much during the tournament and I believe that a re-roll would have been better, but again, it depends on the opponents. Neither option is wrong though.</span><br />

Game 1 vs undead</h3>
This was a match up that I had practiced a couple of times against this coach prior to the tournament. He was borrowing my undead team, so I was playing against my own miniatures, which is a bit weird in a way.<br />
<br />
I kicked to him and managed to stop him all together. As an added bonus, I managed to KO a mummy and a ghoul as well as CASing another ghoul. Things were looking good for the second half.<br />

The second half started with a pitch invasion and my opponent had +1 FAME. As it turned out, seven out of the eleven dwarves were stunned compared to two zombies lying down. The kick was also close to the LOS, which made the situation quite dire.<br />

Lucky for me, the KOed mummy and ghoul stayed out. I managed to pick up the ball with a blitzed, standing next to the other blitzer with guard. I was then directly under pressure from the undead team, but managed to secure the situation and the dwarf machine started to kick in to gear. Some removals later and the dwarves could steam roll their way to a 1-0 win.<br />

<h3>
Game 2 vs wood elves</h3>
<br />
We had to chose our skill before we got to see the opponents roster, but we knew which race we were facing. As I was up against wood elves, I opted for mighty blow on a longbeard.<br />
<br />
I received to start the game and yet again, it was a pitch invasion. It wasn't as bad as in game 1, but one dwarf went down and one of the LOS wood elf linemen, which was a shame, as it meant that I wouldn't be able to apply my mighty blow blocking it.<br />
<br />

My mighty blow longbeard blitzed a catcher and KOed it. A good start, but it was about to change as the treeman retaliated in turn 2, CASing a longbeard and the turn after that it KOed a longbeard. Not great as I was now outnumbered by wood elves and couldn't get any off the field. I got stuck and changed tactic to protecting the ball rather than trying to score as I was afraid of a wood elf score in the first half.<br />
<br />

We set up for the second half and I was hoping to either stop the elves or get them to score early, which is what happened. They scored in turn 3, which in theory left me with enough time to score for a draw. It wasn't to be though as I needed a couple of 1d blocks and a dodge with my runner to get forward progress at the end of the half. Sadly, I rolled a scull on one of the blocks and didn't have a re-roll for the dodge. I failed the dodge and the game ended in a wood elf victory.<br />
<br />
An exciting game and if you're going to lose, this is the kind of game you'd like to have.<br />
A close hard fought game.<br />
<br />
End 0-1 (3-1)<br />
<br />
<h3>
Game 3 vs skaven</h3>
<br />
I yet again opted for mighty blow on a longbeard as I was up against shaven. There were quite a lot of AV7 teams in the tournament, so I figured that it would be useful even later on.<br />
<br />
The shaven got to start with the ball and a longbeard was CASed on the first blitz of the game (by a linerat!). I didn't like the start as the two mighty blow stormvermin were breaking armor left and right. My opponent stayed back with the ball and my plan was to cause as much damage as possible, the number on target being the gutter runners. The plan was working and once the rat ogre was KOed, the flood gates opened. I managed to stun and CAS some gutter runners as well a put the ball under pressure. This resulted in a 0-0 draw at halftime.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<br />
The rat ogre stayed out for the second half and the dwarves could push their strength advantage (due to guard) and rats left the field left and right. There was no gutter runners on the pitch to try for a one turn touchdown in turn 16.<br />
<br />
End 1-0 (6-2)<br />
<br />
<h3>
Game 4 vs dark elves</h3>
Skill, guard on a longbeard<br />
<br />
The elves got the boll for the first half and I tried to put them under pressure, forcing them to dodge or 1d blocks (or worse). My opponent however didn't fail a dodge or block until late in the half. A double one enabled me to get a 1d blitz on the ball. Sadly, my opponent rolled a 6 for the dump off pass and even though the catch was failed, the ball was in such a place that I couldn't cover it. My opponent was then forced to score in turn 7. Not much of a problem as I couldn't score in two turns.<br />
<br />
The dark elves could sadly line up with eleven players, but I had managed to cause a casualty and the apothecary was spent, so if I could get a player advantage, I might manage a draw. I might still against a full team, but it would be harder.<br />
<br />
I played really bad in the second half as I was very frustrated that I hadn't managed to remove anything and my opponent hadn't really failed more than one or two dodges. This continued on the second half and I decided to try something weird rather than the normal smart cage.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">It all fell apart</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
This resulted in me losing the ball and the elves eventually score their second touchdown.<br />
<br />
To be clear, I lost this game by being sloppy with my positioning. I could have managed a draw, but the frustration got to me.<br />
<br />
End 0-2 (1-1)<br />
<br />
<h3>
Game 5 vs pro elves</h3>
This was the hardest skill choice. Another guard wouldn't have been wrong, but I figured that three guard should be enough as my opponent could have a maximum of two guard, but I didn't think that it would be the case. I considered tackle on the troll slayer, but instead went with block on a runner. This meant that all my players on defense would have block and I would have a fast blitzer to keep up with the catchers.<br />
<br />
I started on defense and rolled a blitz. I put my dwarves in such a position that my opponent had 1d blocks (or worse) or tackle on his dodgers. My opponent started by 1d KOing the guard longbeard and another longbeard followed in turn 2. I couldn't dent the AV7 armour and my opponent could stall out the half, scoring in turn 8 after having to do a 2d block without the block skill and he was out of re-rolls, so it could have ended differently.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
My drive saw the dwarves move up the field and the elves put me under pressure, but I could eventually brake through as my opponent ran out of re-rolls. It wasn't soon enough though, which meant that I couldn't risk going for the win.<br />
<br />
End 1-1 (1-0)<br />
<br />
<h3>
Conclusion</h3>
I ended the tournament on 2-1-2 and wasn't really happy with my performance, but not too disappointed either. Dwarves aren't really my team and I need to practice more with them, but I will take a brake from them for a while. I'd still like to try out the deathroller sometime, but it won't be this year. I do believe that it's good to step out of ones comfort zone and try something else, to evolve as a coach. My main problem with the dwarves is that I get too connected and I'm more or less just happy with my performance in game 1. I need to build on that.<br />
<br />
Next tournament will be the Dungonbowl in Düsseldorf in a month and I will be taking wood elves as I'm trying to push my NAF-ranking. I'm hoping that it will improve my chances of getting a spot in Team Sweden for EuroBowl 2020.<br />

Roster</h3>
With the rules for the tournament, the possibilities for a roster was more or less endless. After some deliberation between pro elves and necromantic, I decided to take the werewolves for a spinn. I played them last at the Danish Open 2014, so it was about time.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<h3>
Game 1 vs Skaven</h3>
<div>
FAME 0</div>
<div>
Nice weather</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I decided to kick as I didn't want him to have an easier one turn attempt in turn 8 (assuming that I'd be able to remove more rats over 16 turns compared to 8) and the plan was to force him to score early for the 2-1 grind.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My opponent quickly went down on flank, going for a pass to and from a gutter runner, but due to a double one on the pass, I had a chance. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Worth noting here was that I mistakingly thought that my opponents claw blitzed had mighty blow. It didn't and a stunned wight shouldn't have been stunned. Fortunately this was discovered in turn 3 or 4, so quite early. My opponent thought claws worked as they once did, providing a +2.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Back to my chance, the ball was on the ground and I had a wrestle wolf in range. I blitzed the gutter next to the ball and pushed it on to the ball. The ball scattered on to my wolf, who caught the ball. Then it was time for the second frenzy hit and it was a double both down. As I had already used my re-roll on a double skulls, my now ball carrier was placed prone and it was a turnover.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The shaven then scored which I wasn't too sad about as I had enough time for a score and some free hits on AV7.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The rats kicked to me and the kick off result was a blitz! This meant that I was under pressure directly and one of my zombies was blitzed off the pitch.</div>

My opponents defense was good from then onwards and he managed to stop me from scoring.<br />
<br />
This sadly meant that I was now going for a draw, unless I managed to remove some rats.<br />
The kick off was yet again a blitz!<br />
<br />
Under pressure again, but I managed to out maneuver my opponent and he made a mistake, allowing my fast players to make a cut back to the other sideline and my slow players pinned his team to the other side.<br />
<br />
The game ended in a 1-1 (3-3) draw.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3>
Game 2 vs Slann</h3>
<div>
I started with the ball in this one and the plan was of course to smash some frogs, as my opponent was running an 11 man roster.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This went to plan as I managed to casualty one of his blitzes early (apo used), but then the removals halted. I managed to score in turn 8.</div>

My opponent moved up first in the second half, looking for a quick score, but a double 1 stopped him and gave me a huge chance. I managed to pick up the ball with my sure hands ghoul, but after some leaps and a blitz by the wrestle blitzer, the frogs scooped the ball up and scored in turn 12. I wasn't too worried. I had enough time to score back for the 2-1 grind. All I needed was a KO or hopefully two to wake up. Zero out of three KOs came back and it was now 10 vs 10 on the pitch.<br />
Things were made worse by a thrown rock on the kick off table, removing my mighty blow wolf. This just turned into an up hill battle.<br />

Things were getting even worse as the ghoul managed to drop the ball when trying to pick it up. This meant that the frogs flooded my back field. I was in real trouble here. I managed to pick the ball up, but I couldn't secure my position and the ball was on the ground again during the frogs turn.<br />
<br />
I then went for a high risk play, dodging my blodge ghoul in to a tackle zone on a 4+ (with dodge) and blitzed a line frog away, picked the ball up and ran for it. My opponent legged back and in turn 16, has a chance at blitzing the ball carrier. All that was needed was two GFIs. The second one failed and I could score the winning touchdown in my following and last turn.<br />
<br />
2-1 (don't remember the casualties)<br />
<br /></div>
<h3>
Game 3 vs Dwarves</h3>
<div>
FAME -1</div>
<div>
Nice weather</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I started with the ball in this game and I was hoping to inflict some damage on the dwarves with my mighty blow wolf as I was facing 11 dwarves with an apo. Things didn't go as planned, but I was still stunning she dwarves. However, I made an error in turn 4, trying to push my luck with the mighty blow wolf, whom I then left in contact (flanked by guard). The dwarves blocked the wolf and it went into the KO-box. That's where things went wrong and my team started to crumble. My KO-box was soon full with a wight, both wolves and a ghoul plus a regened zombie in the reserves box. I lost the ball and the dwarves made a run for it down the sideline.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I managed to blitz the ball carrier with the blodge ghoul and picked the ball up. In hindsight, I should have left it there, but I made a GFI to get away from the now downed dwarf, but I rolled a 1. This meant that the dwarves just needed to dodge their scoring threat away, pick the ball up, throw a short pass and catch it. Easy, right? Well, that's exactly what happened.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I rolled for my KOs and I got everything but my two wolves back.</div>
<div>
Things were not looking good for the second half.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My opponent blocked some zombies down and then picked the ball up with a blitzer.</div>
<div>
The blitzer was however in range of my ghouls, so I blitzed it after making some GFIs (re-roll used), but the blitzer didn't go down, but my opponent was now under pressure.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I did manage to get the ball from the blitzer and run off, but I got greedy and made a zombie block, which resulted in a double both down. This means that a long beard just need a block to free up his tackle troll slayer, in range of my blodge ghoul with the ball. Such a rookie error by me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The ball carrier was knocked down and the ball bounce in to the hands of the troll slayer, who then ran back towards my endzone. Desperate times and I had to dodge a zombie for a 1d blitz on the slayer (after two GFIs), but was rewarded with a pow.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After some failed pick ups by both parties, I managed to clear the ball and pick up with my sure hands ghoul, followed by a pass to the blodge ghoul in a tackle zone. The ball was caught and all I needed was a dodge for the equalizer in turn 16. A 2! Dodge re-roll and the ghoul was away!</div>
<div>
A very lucky touchdown, but I felt that it was fair considering the luck my opponent had in the first half combined with the wolves staying out.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1-1 (don't remember the casualties)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Game 4 vs Chaos Dwarves</h3>
<div>
Final game of the tournament and I was up against a beautifully painted chaos dwarf team. I kicked the ball off and my opponent didn't really inflict any damage in his first turn, but picked the ball up with one of the bulls. I then stunned the other bull and tied his dwarves up. My opponent then went for the side with the most dwarves (but away from the other bull) and I could push him even more towards the sideline and I also managed to get rid of a guard dwarf.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
Following that, I could put my flesh golems in the wide zone, effectively stopping any progress down that flank. My opponent had to turn back and I could bog him down with zombies and put the blodge ghoul on the ball carrier. My wolves removed more dwarves and it started to get ridiculous.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I then stole the ball and scored in my turn 8.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I got the ball in the second half and was up on players. The snow ball effect was in full role and I managed to inflict seven casualties!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Maybe I should have gone for 3-0, but I didn't really feel like rubbing it in and a win is a win.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2-0 (7-0)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
Conclusion</h3>
<div>
I ended the tournament undefeated on a 2-2-0 record (TD 6-3, CAS 14-7) which I was happy with, but I feel that I could have played better. Especially in game three against the dwarves. I made too many mistakes in that game and the necromantic team really suffers without its wolves.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Speaking of which, I'm not sold on the block mighty blow wolf. Sure it's good and in some game it's great (game 4), but I like to spread my skills and a guard zombie might have been a better use of the double or just block or guard on the second flesh golem plus a fan factor. Not sure and it's rare to be able to play with a block mighty blow wolf in a tournament, so I guess it had to be done.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I need to practice more with the necromantic team, but I did enjoy playing them (although I like undead more). I recently bought an undead/necromantic team from Vortice miniatures and once that's painted I recon that I'll play more with them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This was my last tournament for 2018 and I'm already looking forward to 2019, which will see me playing at least one new race (in a NAF tournament) and my first World Cup!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Looking back on 2018, I've played in seven tournaments, using five different races.</div>
<div>
My combines record was 17-11-7 and 57% of my loses were collected using dwarves. Not my team, but I will give them another chance.</div>

I was initially planning on taking dwarves, to take my painted deathroller for a spinn, but decided against it for two reasons. One, I didn't really feel like playing dwarves with this rule set and second, I wanted to break the 200 barrier with my wood elves (so close after GTB).<br />
<h3>

2 Wardancers (Strip ball, tackle)<br />
1 Thrower (Leader)<br />

Game 1 vs chaos dwarves</h3>
FAME -2<br />
Nice weather<br />
<br />
I kicked the ball deep in to my opponents half and braced myself for the LOS hits. Fortunate for me, AV7 seemed more like AV10 (the whole game). My opponent decided to pick the ball up with a bull centaur, which was fine by me. Less ST4 hitting me and more exposed AV7. I don't know why, but my opponent settled for a mega cage, surrounding his ball carrier with seven players.<br />
<br />

I managed to funnel the cage towards the sideline and stall it to a halt. I then got shots at the ball carrier after chain pushing some players away. Sadly, the ball bounced back to the dwarves and was caught by a chaos dwarf. This left my opponent with a 4+ hand off, 4+ dodge and 3 GFIs chance off a score. It wasn't to be thought and the half ended 0-0.<br />

This meant that I was in no rush to score and could stall the game out, but I was forced to score in turn 13, but I still liked my chances of keeping my opponent out of the endzone.<br />
<br />
As it turned out, I wasn't only successful in keeping my opponent from scoring, but I managed to score myself after a 3+ pick up, 2+ hand off and 2 GFIs.<br />

End 2-0 (1-1)<br />

My opponent could however recover, but we now were in his half and neither team could get the ball safe. My strip ball wardancer was MNGed in his turn 3, so I decided to use my apothecary. Fortunately for me, I rolled a BH and the wardancer would be back in the next drive. I took the risk since my opponent didn't have sure hands and the strip ball wardancer is such a valuable player.<br />

I thought that I had weathered the storm when he used a both down on his mummy and my treeman, but I relaxed too soon as the treeman was CASed by the mummy. Such a bold choice by my opponent, going for the both down result.<br />
<br />
This ended the half and I was up 1-0, but I had suffered three casualties along the way (one being apo'ed).<br />
<br />
This meant that I needed to score quickly in the second half, which I did, in turn 11.<br />

Game 3 vs dark elves</h3>
FAME -1<br />
Nice weather<br />

I received the ball and set out to slowly making my way up the pitch. I was hoping to inflict some kind of damage in doing so, but it wasn't to be. The half was quite uneventful (except for a KO on my team) and I could score in turn 8 after a 3+ and a 2+ dodge with re-roll.<br />

I tried to funnel the norsemen towards the sideline and I was quite happy that my opponent went for the tree. Especially since the yeti wasted the blitz two turns in a row in doing so. My opponent then decided to put a lot of assists on the tree and in trying to get in down (it was blocking the path back to the middle), but the block dice just came up as pushes.<br />

This meant that the norsemen were stuck between the tree and the sideline. Not ideal. Things got worse as they went men down in turn 6 (casualty, apo used). They still managed to score in turn 8 with a bit of luck.<br />
<br />
When then set up for the one turner and I failed the second to last GFI. A double one, such a shame.<br />
<br />
I was forced to score early (turn 11) and the norsemen had a good chance of winning the game, if they could score.<br />
<br />
I played aggressively and rendered the chances of the norse scoring in turn 16 to quite small, but it almost worked. The thrower pick the ball up in a tackle zone and dodged out. Then threw it down the pitch to an ulfwerner, who dropped it. If the ball had been caught, there would have been two more GFIs to go.<br />

The norsemen responded by getting the ball back and scoring, which left me with some time left to win the game, but it wasn't going to be easy.<br />
<br />
Things went from bad to worse when I rolled a one for the pick up and the norse put me under pressure. Things turned in to a scrum, but I managed to pick the ball up and run down the field with a catcher, but I made a huge mistake here. I put the catcher next to the sideline and the plan was to dodge out a lineman as support and for preventing the surf. I should however had remembered the golden rule in blood bowl, always count on things going wrong. The lineman dodge and it was a one, followed by a stunned lineman.<br />
<br />
I should have put the catcher away from the sideline and even if it was blitzed down, the lineman could then have picked the ball up (things weren't helped by the fact that people were trying to check our teams out for best painted, as we should put them on a table after the game, but people were done with their games....)<br />
<br />
The catcher was then surfed and the ball was thrown directly back, still in my opponents half and I believed that the draw was at least saved, but oh no. In turn 16, my opponent managed a 3+ pick up, 6+ long bomb, 3+ catch and a GFI for the game winning touchdown (without a re-roll).<br />

The game was uneventful until turn 5, in which I inflicted a casualty on a block lineman (identical rosters) and the apothecary wasn't used.<br />
<br />
I then scored in my turn 8, being a man up.<br />
<br />
The one turn attempt was then stalled when a pow was re-rolled to get a push, but it was a skull and the blitzing wardancer was KOed (apothecary used).<br />
<br />
Me being up in numbers meant that I could screen the other team up and force my opponent to score in turn 12.<br />
<br />
I then managed to stall the game out and score the winning touchdown in turn 16.<br />

End 2-1 (3-0)<br />
<h3>
Conclusion</h3>
I ended up in 13th place and was not unhappy, but the loss in game 5 stung. At least I can learn something from it.<br />
<br />
I liked the roster and will use it again (probably at the Dungeonbowl next year).<br />
I also managed to break the 200 barrier (by 0,56 points).<br />

I was co-organizing the tournament as well as playing in it, which should be fun, but stressful (also the reason for the lack of insight game reports).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We sadly had some drop offs just before the tournament and were a bit disappointed that we just managed to get 20 coaches. The positive side of it though was that there were many new coaches (or at least new to the Berlin scene), which is always nice.</div>

Roster</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decided to play undead since it had been a while since I played them back in 2014. I don't know why I haven't played them in a while, since I like to play undead. Maybe it's due to the miniatures (my first painted team).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 Mummies (Block, Guard)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 Wights (Guard, Tackle)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3 Ghouls (Wrestle, Block)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5 Zombies</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 Skeleton</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3 Re-rolls</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Assistans Coach</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cheerleader</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I like this roster as it sturdy and it enables some fouling. The alternative would be to field all four ghouls, but while making the team faster, it's also more fragile.</div>

I then scored late in my drive and peterd had an opportunity to win the game. I could however get his ball carrier on the ground, but the ball bounced around and finally landed on his minotaur! Peterd could still win the game, if his minotaur behaved, dodged and GFIed, which didn't happen, but it was a tense last turn.<br />

Dan was a lovely chap, but new to the tournament scene and his inexperience showed. I could score in my turn 8 and then stole the ball in the second half.

<h3>
Game 3 vs Dark Elves (BroccooLi)</h3>
FAME 0<br />
Blizzard!<br />
<br />
I get to receive the ball first (and the weather changes to nice) and move up the field slowly. BroccooLi defends well and I needed a bit of luck to score in turn 8, but I managed. The OTTD was a failure, but it was close.<br />

BroccoLi then gets the ball in the second half, pushing to score quite early and then lightning strikes and I have three players KOed and one CAS in a single turn. I couldn't stop the dark elves after that, but luckily got me, the KOs came back and we now had an exciting game on our hands.<br />

Once the ghoul had the ball in his hands, the undead team went for a power drive to the right, but the dark elves overcommitted and I could run the ball carrier back to the left side and after two GFIs, he was out of reach for but a handful of players. I also screened off the dark elves to force them to dodge, which they did. 1 re-roll 1. It was the worst of times to have a turnover and I just needed to blitz one player away before scoring in turn 16.<br />
<br />
End 2-1 (1-2)<br />
<h3>
Game 4 vs Chaos Dwarves (Claymore)</h3>
FAME +2<br />
Swealtering Heat<br />
<br />
I kicked the ball and the game started with a get the ref!, which I think was more in my fortune than my opponents.<br />
<br />
I MNGed a chaos dwarf early in the half and my opponent used his apo, which resulted in another MNG. My opponent was now one dwarf down and without his apo. That looked bad and I had managed to put him in a bad spot, which wouldn't be easy to get out off. Things didn't get better when I cased three players in one turn!! I then continued to up the pressure and fouled a bull centaur off the pitch. The half ended 1-0 to me.<br />
<br />
As I received the ball for the second half, it was 11 undead vs 6 chaos dwarves (well, not dwarves as half the team was now made up off hobgoblins).<br />
<br />
I then fouled the second bull in to the casualty box and stalled the game out for a 2-0 win in turn 16.<br />
I could probably have scored earlier and ran up the score, but I felt that a safe 2-0 was better than a potential 2-1 (if the KOs came back and my guys were out due to the heat).<br />
<br />
End 2-0 (4-0)<br />
<br />
I was very lucky in game 4. Surely, that couldn't continue?<br />
<h3>
Game 5 vs Dark Elves (Sprinter)</h3>
FAME 0<br />
Nice weather<br />
<br />
I kick the ball to my opponent and rolled a blitz! and the ball was close to the LOS.<br />
My tackle wight blitzed to open up a path to the ball and managed to cause a serious injury. The apo was used and the result was another serious injury. Great start to the game for me and my luck from game 4 was continuing. I didn't put anyone underneath the ball as I wanted to screen up the area for a safer pick up in turn 1, but the ball bounced on to my tackle wight, who caught the ball.<br />
<br />

<br />
My opponent then knocked the ball free, but wasn't in a good position, close to my team and I could put pressure on the elves. Sadly, I made an error in my first turn, dodging my block ghoul out off contact after a blitz which ended with a ghoul in the casualty box. I should just have left the ghoul in contact (was next to the guard wight) and could have dodged out the turn after (if needed) to cover the area which I wanted to cover directly. This opened up a path for the elves along the sideline, which they took.<br />
<br />
I was now in pursuit and tried to catch up. I had left a safety (my wrestle ghoul) which was blitzed and put in the casualty box. I was now down to one ghoul (currently not on the pitch) and chasing dark elves with my slow players. I did however catch up as Sprinter decided to stall out the half, which turned out to be a disaster. A witch dodged and 1d blitzed a mummy -> Skull!. That ended the half and I had somehow been very lucky.<br />
<br />
I received the ball in the second half and it was a relatively deep kick. Sprinter put me under pressure, running his team in to my half. I had to run up with my ghoul, who then made a pass to a wight. Phew, it worked and I could move up the pitch with the wight, using my slower players to delay the dark elves.<br />

My numbers prevailed and I could score in turn 16.<br />
The game was closer than game 4, but I had still been lucky.<br />
<br />
End 1-0 (6-1)<br />
<h3>
Game 6 vs Dark Elves (Ignaz)</h3>
FAME -1<br />
Nice weather<br />
<br />
I kicked the ball deep to the dark elves and stayed put in my half of the pitch, playing a zone defense.<br />
Things looked okay, but I couldn't break any elves. The dark elves were pinched towards the sideline and I had tried to make the score difficult in turn 8, but my opponent made all his roles including a blitz with a witch elf (with the ball) which included a 3+ dodge, 1d block (x2 due to frenzy), 2+ dodge and a GFI, without a re-roll. Not too difficult, but I would have liked to see it fail.<br />
<br />
Well, the game wasn't over as there were a half to play still and I suspected that I just needed a draw to win the tournament. Hopefully I'd break some elves and manage an eight turn score.<br />
<br />
It was however not to be as the second half started with a perfect defense and the ball ended up next to the sideline. I failed the pick up (with a re-roll) and the ball fortunately stay in bounds, but the dark elves now flooded my backfield and I was very much under pressure. I managed to recover the ball in my next turn and set up a cage deep in my own half. The dark elves continued their attack on the ball and I had to fight to get it safe each turn and I couldn't progress. Matters weren't helped by the fact that I was loosing players and the elves remain on the pitch (my opponent played an 11 man roster without an apo).<br />
<br />
It was a matter of time before the elves could get the ball and score in turn 16.<br />
<br />
End 0-2 (0-1)<br />
<br />
<h3>
Conclusion</h3>
The loss at the end was annoying as I just needed to draw the game to win the tournament, but that's the way it goes sometimes. I did enjoy playing undead and will do so again in the near future. This was my fourth Runner Up and I hope that I can break the spell sometime soon.<br />

Game 1 vs Wood Elves (mubo)</h3>
<div>
We were hoping for an easy game to start the tournament, but we got the opposite and were up against a part of Team England (who later won the tournament). I was facing off against mubo, who's a quite good wood elf coach. I figured that I'd at least be able to learn a thing or two from him.<br />
<br />
Very Sunny</div>
<div>
FAME +1</div>

<div>
I was forced to kick and the first block of the game was a CASed linemen, which I actually used my apothecary on. I figured that numbers would be important in this game and I was hoping that it wouldn't come back to bite me, being so aggressive with the apothecary.<br />

My game plan was to play a zone defence in my half, trying to blitz his catchers with three dice. This resulted in a KO in turn 3 and it was then 10 vs 10.<br />
<br />
Later in the half, there was an opening (caused by a double one) and I striped the ball from the opposing wardancer's hands and one of my linemen caught it. This stopped mubo's drive and the half ended 0-0.<br />

In the second half, mubo put me under pressure and I moved up quite quick, scoring in turn 4, thinking that I'd rather have the draw secured rather than potentially lose the ball and lose the game.<br />
<br />
The game turned out to be a nail biter as my strip ball wardancer leapt in for a 1d blitz on his wardancer with the ball, rolling a pow. Great, I thought, but then the ball scattered into the hands of the other wardancer, who caught the ball on a six and mubo could then score in turn 16.</div>

Game 2 vs Dwarves (Twyllenimor)</h3>

FAME -1</div>

I kicked and Twyllenimor fielded his deathroller. The game then started with a thrown rock and a CASed dodge lineman for me. Not the greatest of starts. The kick was however deep and I tried to funnel the dwarves towards a sideline.<br />

Later in the half, I was surprised that Twyllenimor fouled my wardancer with a longbeard, which was sent off. This meant that there would be only 10 dwarves on the pitch for the next drive (unless he managed to argue the call, for the sent off deathroller). The dwarves scored in turn 8 and I didn't manage my OTTD (failed the first dodge through the back line).<br />

This was an exciting game that could have gone either way. I started off by kicking the ball and lauth81 had a scary moment where the yeti decided to roll double both downs on a blitz. The loner re-roll worked and it was all good, but it could have been a disaster as his ball carrier would have been exposed. He then scored in his turn 8 and I didn't manage the OTTD.<br />

Second half saw me scoring quite early and it would come down to the last couple of turns to decide the game. I put lauth81under pressure but he could safely move away out of reach, or so he thought.<br />

<br />My wardancer dodged away from his marker and leaped in for an up hill blitz, resulting on the ball on the floor. My catcher then went in for the pick up, getting it and then throwing an inaccurate pass to an open lineman. Had the pass been accurate, I would probably have won the game. As it was now, lauth81 still had a chance to win the game, but the required pass turned out to be too much for the noresemen and the game ended in a draw.<br />

I then set up against the OTTD and forgot that Jonny_Kanone had a grab tree. I also forgot about the frenzy wardancer, who rolled a double skull. This meant that there wasn't a re-rolled to be had when the first GFI failed. It was pure luck on my part to have the half end on 1-0.<br />
<br />
In the second half, I suffered a KO in turn 9 and used my apothecary to keep the player on the field.<br />
Jonny_Kanone drove up the field and scored in turn 16, after I failed a leap, re-rolled and rolled a skull on the blitz. Jonny_Kanone then rolled a perfect defense on the kick off, which stopped my OTTD attempt.</div>

Game 6 vs Dwarves (Narok)</h3>
<div>
FAME -1<br />
Nice weather<br />
<br />
I got to kick the ball and was very happy when the kick off result was a blitz! I blitzed a longbeard to the side to enable a dodge lineman to dodge past the deathroller (no tackle) to put pressure on the ball. The dodge was a 1 followed by another 1 and a CAS. Worst blitz ever...</div>
<div>
<br />
I wasn't able to halt the dwarf cage as my team failed their dodges and KOed themselves. The half ended 0-1.<br />

eam to that side of the pitch to stop me. I then cut back and my opponent had to run back the other side to catch up. As the dwarves are a bit slower, this left the sideline exposed and I could score in turn 14. This left the dwarves some time to score and if I was lucky, perhaps I could steal the ball and score for a W.</div>

I didn't managed to steal the ball and thanks to a deep kick, a dwarf score was unlikely.<br />

Conclusion</h3>
</div>
<div>
I managed a 2-4-0 record which I was happy with, considering the competitive climate. I talked to mubo regarding what I could improve and I got some pointers for my roster, which I was going to try out in a future tournament.Stay tunned.</div>

Following my disappointing result at <a href="https://bbpedda.blogspot.com/2018/03/preuenbowl-2018.html" target="_blank">Preußenbowl</a>, I decided to give dwarves another go. Could I perhaps improve?<br />

Roster</h4>
I had 1200 TV to play with (including skills (max 7, no double)) and played the following roster;<br />
2 Runners<br />
2 Blitzers (2xGuard)<br />
Troll Slayer<br />
7 Longbeards (4xGuard, Mighty Blow)<br />
2 Re-rolls<br />
2 Fan Factor (one fan factor free due to roster being sent in on time)<br />
<br />

<br />
Game 1 vs Nurgle</h4>
<h4>
</h4>
First game saw me up against a hard as nails nurgle roster and exactly what I didn't want to face. My opponent played a 12 man roster (4 warriors (2xblock, 2xguard), 2 pestigors (2xblock), BoN (guard), 5 rotters (5xblock) and 1 re-roll).<br />
I started with the ball and went for a surf in turn 1, but double both downs sadly stopped the rotter from being surfed. I was hoping for a man advantage early, to really optimizes my guard.<br />

I went all in on going down the side and was hoping to knock enough of his players down to move through, which could have worked as my opponent had given me a chain push, to push a longbeard forward, next to his last line of defense. Sadly, that turn saw me fail three foul appearance rolls and I was stopped in my tracks.<br />

This left me with one option, a potato play. I managed to dodge both my runners through his defense (one dodge each), but the blitzer, that was suppose to protect them didn't manage to get away from the BoN. The runners were knocked down and the half ended 0-0.<br />

We ran out of time and didn't pay the whole half, but I don't think that the result would have been different. My opponent ran down with both his pestigors and I managed to knock one down and base the other one, having two players waiting for their next move and the rest of his team was based.<br />
<br />
The game ended 0-0 (2-0)<br />

Game 2 vs Dwarves</h4>
<div>
Second game and I was up against one of the three dwarf teams at the tournament. My opponent was a new tournament player and his roster saw just eleven players (runner (block), 2 troll slayers, 2 blitzers, 6 longbeards (all with guard)) and no apo. He had four re-rolls, which I think hurt him as he needed the apo and a twelfth player. Being down in numbers is not what you want as dwarves. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I received the ball in the first half and started knocking down his players and made a push towards one of the sides. He took the bait and went towards that side, leaving me the possibility to cut back and divide his team. I then started surfing his players on the other side, while he headed backwards with the players on the wrong side. As my opponent engaged me on the other side, I switch back to the middle of the field which was now open. I believe that my opponent had seven dwarves left on the field at the end of the half. I had also managed to casualty one of the longbeards.</div>

My opponent was down on players and guard. He moved towards one side and I set up a defense, stopping him and preventing him from doing what I did, cutting back towards the other side. I again surfed his players and after a turn or two, his ball carrier went off the pitch. The ball scattered in to my half and my runner went back to pick it up. I left him a one die blitz (in to a two dice against) with a marked troll slayer, which he took and made. It wasn't too bad though, as I could recover the ball. I had also sent a blitzer up the field in turn 14 (which he ignored) and in turn 16, I made a GFI and a quick pass for my second score.<br />

Game 3 vs Orcs</h4>

Orcs, a tough match up for dwarves. They had two guard and two block BOBs. Two of the blitzers had mighty blow and the thrower had leader. I got the ball first and slowly moved up the pitch. Not much to say about the first half. I got bogged down (the blizzard not helping my speed) and lost the ball (and my runner was MNGed) as well as a guard longbeard, which I used my apo on. It was 0-0 at half time.</div>

The second half saw the orcs moving up extremely slowly (although the weather change to nice) and I could set up a solid defense. The turning point was mid half, when my mighty blow longbeard knocked out the troll. This made things easier as he lost a bit of strength advantage. He did however break through with two blitzers in turn 15. After marking the closest one, I decided to put pressure on the cage instead. Marking the thrower and the other cage corners, forcing him to dodge and blitz away my players, which he did. All he had to do was make the pass in turn 16, but fumbled it. Even if his pass had been successful (5+) the receiver would have still needed to catch and GFI for the touchdown.<br />

The game ended 0-0 (0-2)<br />

Game 4 vs Dwarves</h4>
<div>
I was yet again up against AV9 and the third dwarf team at the tournament. However, I was looking forward to seeing what the deathroller roster (deathroller, 2 runners (leader, block), 2 blitzers (2xguard), troll slayer, 6 longbeards (3xguard, mighty blow), 1 re-roll) could do. It was also played by one of the better dwarf players in Germany, so I was hopefully in for a lesson.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I got the ball first and tried to go up one side which didn't work when a blitz resulted in a skull and both down, bogging me down next to the side line.</div>

I had some of my players surfed and decided to change my strategy in the middle of the first half. I retreated and wanted to hold the 0-0 at halftime, hoping to be up on players (the deathroller would be sent off and any KO/CAS would help me be up on players). The ball was however blitz and recovered by my opponent. I could blitz his runner with the ball in turn 8 and got the ball on the ground again, covering it with two players. In his turn 8, the ball was then picked up by his runner (after clearing one of my players marking the ball), but the pass was failed, saving the 0-0 at half time.</div>

To make thing worse for my opponent, his KO didn't wake up and the deathroller was indeed sent off, as was his coach, on a 1. This left my 11 dwarves (6 guard) to his 9 (3 guard). The kick was deep and in my turn 9, I KOed another longbeard. Things were grim for my opponent as I overwhelmed him with guard and just waited for the right time to pounce on his runner with the ball. Once I did, he responded by picking the ball up and punting it down deep in my half. Brilliant move and I had to run back with my runner to pick it up. The position meant that I had to make 4 GFIs in order to score. My turn 15 was extreme, seeing me make 8 GFIs and set up a screen around my runner. My opponent couldn't do much to stop me and I scored in turn 16.<br />
<br />
The game ended 1-0 (1-0)<br />
<br />
Although I won, I was still given a lesson on how to play dwarves. The punt was brilliant and something I'll take with me for future games.<br />

Game 5 vs Lizardmen</h4>
<div>
Last game of the tournament and I could theoretically win the whole thing, but it was unlikely. It was however not probable, as I was up against lizardmen, one of my least favorite race to play against. They have it all, speed, strength and armour.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My opponent was playing with 12 lizards, all saurus with block and the krox with guard. Like me, there were just two team re-rolls.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My opponent received the ball and forced me to spread out and defending the whole width of the field. I made a mistake on one side. I should have pushed a saurus away instead of going for a second block. The push would have left me with more longbeards to move away, leaving me in a better position.</div>

This saw his skinks speeding down one side, out of my reach. I then followed up with a gamble, fouling his krox (playing for the second half), since my players were there. I rolled a double 6 on the armour and then just stunned the krox, which made it a bad trade. It also enabled my opponent to stall longer and he scored in turn 8. In my turn 8, I KOed a saurus, which then got back up for the second half.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I spent the second half slowly moving up the field and I thought I'd manage the draw, but one annoying saurus among my longbeards just wouldn't go down. It finally did, but after eight block dice and I had to keep my position. That in turn enabled my opponent to solidify his defense. It meant that I had to do riskier moves and it just didn't result in the much needed touchdown.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The game ended 0-1 (0-1)<br />
<br /></div>
<h4>
<br />
Conclusion</h4>
I ended up in fifth place on a 2-2-1 record. More importantly, I just allowed one touchdown and would have won the best defense award, had there been one.<br />
<br />
All in all, I was very happy with my second dwarf tournament. They aren't my cup of tee, but I find that playing them evolves my game. Especially the fact that the game is made up of two halves. Playing elves can sometimes be a higher pace game, which makes it feel like you need to win the game in one half. As an example, in game 4, I played the long game, surrender the first half in favor of the second half. I kind of do that with elves too, just trying to keep my opponent from scoring and not going for the ball at all, but I guess I'm saying that you should never panic. There's always second half and changing you strategy in the first half in favor of it shouldn't be overlooked.<br />
<br />
Another thing I already knew that I wanted to try was the deathroller. Seeing it being used as I use my tree man with wood elves made me want to try it even more. Here's some wip pictures of my deathroller.<br />

The next time I play dwarves at a tournament, I'll probably bring the deathroller along. I don't know when that will be. Perhaps for next years Preußenbowl. <a href="https://bbpedda.blogspot.com/2018/03/preuenbowl-2018.html" target="_blank">Can't get much worse than it did this year, right?</a><br />
<br />
My next tournament will be the German Team Bowl and I'm probably playing wood elves (also considering pro elves) which will be a change of pace. I've missed playing AG4 this year and getting back to more familiar playing styles will be nice.<br />

Underground Cup IV</h2>
This was one of the two tournaments I'm co-organizing with Spielmacher and you can find the rules for the tournament on our <a href="https://underground-cup.blogspot.de/" target="_blank">webpage</a>.<br />
<br />
As I won't be able to play in many tournaments this year (due to life), I decided to play as a normal participant. This meant that all my organizing would be prior to the actual tournament.<br />
<br />
I had a real struggle on deciding a roster for the tournament, going from dwarves to undead, but as it turns out, fate would have it otherwise. As I was still an organizer, we had said that I'd switch to halflings, if we had someone turn in a stunty roster, in order to have a best stunty award. A halfling roster was sent (and later also an ogre and a goblin roster) in and I played the following;<br />
<h3>
Roster</h3>
2 Treemen (2xBlock)<br />
10 Halflings (4xSide Step)<br />
Puggy<br />
Deeproot<br />
Master Chef<br />
Assistant Coach<br />
Cheerleader<br />
<br />
This is more or less my standard halfling roster, although the current meat seems to swing towards Karla and Zara, but I don't have them painted. I was also thinking about going with the Karla and Willow roster, but again, not painted.<br />
<br />
Regarding skills, block trees are awesome and I feel that four side steppers is the perfect amount to have. Everything else would just be icing on the cake (in my case, I like to take two diving tacklers and a sure feeter).<br />
<br />
<h3>
Game 1 vs Halflings (Cubefarmer)</h3>
What a draw, I was up against a fellow halfling player. Deeproot took money from both team and "ran" for it, but his roster didn't include Puggy, which mine did. He had a reroll instead, which I stole.<br />
I started with the ball and scored at the end of my drive. I then prevented his OTTM attempt with my set up.<br />
In the second half, one of his tree rooted early and I could pressure him (both with position and Puggy blitzes, taking out his halflings) which resulted in an early throw. The halfling scattered backwards, towards my defense and landed in two tacklezones. The flung fling didn't make it and the ball landed in the outstretched arms of one of my flings. I scored in turn 16, sealing the deal.<br />
<br />
It was a fun game, but the second half was very one sided.<br />
<br />
TD 2-0<br />
CAS 3-2<br />
<h3>
Game 2 vs Norse (Kohli)</h3>
A norse roster without and apo and just 12 players. He'd gone for a sure hands thrower, kick lineman and block on the Yeti. Not the skills I would have gone for, but I'm not a norse player.<br />
<br />
I got to kick the ball and was hoping for some damage in order to control the second half. The game started with a blitz and a fling off the field, but my trees responded with two CAS and that got the ball rolling. I could get the ball safe and scored late in my drive. After the second half, my opponent had seven players left on the field, to my ten.<br />
<br />
Things just continued the way they started and I pitch cleared my opponent and scored in turn 16.<br />
<br />
TD 2-0<br />
CAS 6-4<br />
<h3>
Game 3 vs Humans (Madfrog)</h3>
This was my second game on table 1, but I knew that it wouldn't last. Humans can be quite difficult for flings and this proved to be the case. He pressured me and I lost Puggy to a failed dodge midway through the first half. This prevented me from scoring, but I could stop him from scoring as well.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTDpH-D6CK5-igSeap3EJAjGfNWqg8gnvKOBGrVPDlPSvyBC42tinY8jreoHM8Fq447CDSIZo8a7QtsffT1mWQashQHTPq2WKqdbJlhdil-3ctJTrcgy3XfC3GvvvXgknhfomHo6Oct2Pl/s1600/IMG_4903.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTDpH-D6CK5-igSeap3EJAjGfNWqg8gnvKOBGrVPDlPSvyBC42tinY8jreoHM8Fq447CDSIZo8a7QtsffT1mWQashQHTPq2WKqdbJlhdil-3ctJTrcgy3XfC3GvvvXgknhfomHo6Oct2Pl/s640/IMG_4903.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
In the second half, I stole zero rerolls, which made this an uphill battle. I pressured him and had two 1d blitzes on the ball, but both were pushes. I pushed his ball carrier into my endzone in turn 14, leaving me two turns to score a OTTM. Sadly, the kick landed on the sideline, in the endzone. Worst case scenario and I failed a GFI after picking the ball up, which meant that I couldn't get to the ball at all. The human player later went on to winning the whole tournament, so not too sad about losing. Was a fun and close game.<br />
<br />
TD 0-1<br />
CAS 2-*don't remember*<br />
<h3>
Game 4 vs Dwarves (Steinhammer)</h3>
<div>
Game 4 and best stunty was still up for grabs. I was also in the running for Best Defense, Most CAS and Most TD! I didn't like my chances though, being up against dwarves.</div>

He played very conservative in the second half, but went down one sideline and after Puggy blocked a blocker away, I could blitz a tree in next to his runner. He dodged out and passed over the tree, which of course made the interception. I had enough turns to score with a treeman, but failed my dodges to screen the tree off. This meant that he could again blitz with a troll slayer, getting the tree down. Sad as it was, that we weren't going to see a treeman TD, I managed to get the ball back and run a fling out of reach from his team. I could score the winning TD in turn 16.</div>

I was back and forth on taking the dwarves as my practice games with them didn't go splendid, so I was thinking of taking my wood elves again. I did however settle on the dwarves as the team is painted and it's good to try something new from time to time.<br />
<h3>
Roster</h3>
I went with a roster that my friend Spielmacher has won two tournaments with, but I changed one skill. I went with wrestle on a runner instead of mighty blow on a longbeard. It's good against some opponents, but less so against others. In hindsight, the mighty blow would probably have been better.<br />
<br />
2 Runners (wrestle)<br />
2 Blitzers (2xguard)<br />
Troll Slayer<br />
7 Longbeards (3xguard)<br />
3 Rerolls<br />
Apothecary<br />
<br />
The roster is hard as nails, in theory, but it seemed like the dwarves forgot to pack their armour for this tournament.<br />
<h3>
Game 1 vs Norse</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
First game was against an 11 man norse team without an apothecary, which on paper should have gone better for me than it did. I was hoping to get the choice of receiving of kicking, but was forced to kick. I was still hopeful though, but it didn't really go according to plan. My opponent stunned a dwarf on turn 1 and I removed a lineman in turn 2, but then it went south from there and I found myself outnumbered early in the first half. My opponents yeti was phenomenal and didn't wild animal once, only got one none pow block/blitz and didn't cause a turnover in the whole game. He didn't remove dwarves in the beginning, but he got hot later in the game. </div>

<span id="goog_55859993"></span><span id="goog_55859994"></span>I had one shoot at the ball carrier in the first half and needed a push to get a guard on the ball carrier, then a 3+ dodge for the blitz with the wrestle runner. Sadly, the block was a skull, rerolled into a push. The dodge was then a 2. My opponent could stall out the half and I got three armor breaks in my turn 8, but nothing more than a stunned lineman to show for it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Second half didn't start half bad, but my opponent got the dice he needed including two 4+ dodges with his ulfwerner for the sack. Yes, I could perhaps positioned better, but I was somehow outnumbered in the first half of the second half as well. One of the removals was cause by me, trying to dodge a blitzer (using a reroll) and failed, resulting in a CAS. I did however get some removals in the later part of the game, but by then it was all over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The game ended in a 0-1 (1-4) loss and I wasn't happy with the result as I felt that a draw would have been fair.</div>
<h3>
Game 2 vs Orcs</h3>
<div>
The tournament was full of elves and skaven, so I wasn't too happy to face orcs instead of an AV7 race. I had played my opponent in a practice game prior to the tournament and had problems in that game due to too many stuns. In that game, my opponent used his troll to blitz, but surely that couldn't work in two games...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The orc roster was made up of 4 blitzers (tackle, mighty blow), 4 BOBs (2xblock, 2xguard), thrower, troll, goblin, lineorc and 3 rerolls.</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<div>
I got to choose if I wanted to start with the ball, which I chose, in the hope of getting someone off the field or perhaps a stunned. The half started out great and my opponent overcommitted on one flank which open up a hole for me to move through. He also lost a black orc early and had a second one surfed (KO) mid first half. Sadly for me, he blitzed with his troll, even GFIing in to my position and could halt my advance. The turn after that happened, I messed up a chain push and was in a bad position, but he couldn't really capitalize. He did get the ball, picking it up in four tackle zones, but I got the ball back. A turn or two later, he managed to blitz with his runner (without anything) and killed my wrestle runner. The half ended 0-0.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
In the second half, I figured that I should put him under pressure and sent some dwarves in to his backfield. This resulted in a thrown ball down the field, which I wasn't expecting at all, as it was quite risky. My opponent then figured that he'd blitz with one of the BOBs with guard instead of scoring a touchdown. Nuffle doesn't like actions like that and it was a 1 in 81. I could then surf his ball carrier, but the ball stayed in my half. I managed to pick it up with a blitzer, but he 1d him to the ground, moving off with the ball. I tried the same, but skulled the blitzer down. My opponent then scored, but left me enough time to perhaps score an equalizer.<br />
<br />
I started well with a touchback and a quick snap, but he managed to dodge through with his goblin in turn 16 and a blitzing lineorc, knocking the ball carrier down. I should have made a GFI with my troll slayer to cover that play better, but I wasn't really expecting it to work, dodging through a dwarf team. The game ended 0-1 (1-2).<br />
<h3>
Game 3 vs Dark Elves</h3>
<div>
After two loses, I should be able to have an easier game in game 3, right?</div>
<div>
I was up against Sprinter with his dark elves. He's a good coach (won our tournament <a href="https://underground-cup.blogspot.de/p/hall-of-fame.html" target="_blank">Underground Cup 2017</a> with dark elves) and this wasn't going to be easy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I got the ball in the first half, but the kick was awful and landed next to the LOS, in one of the wide zones, on the sideline. Sprinter then rolled a perfect defense.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">That's a bad kick, if you're a dwarf</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
I started the game by making a bad tactical choice, but I was afraid of not being able to pick the ball up and it bouncing out, towards his half. What happened was that the elves pick the ball up in their first turn and I was playing defense for the rest of the game.<br />
<br />
I did have a shot at 1-1 before halftime, but my blitzer failed a GFI and killed himself instead.<br />
That was the story of the game and you can tell that it's not going well when you play your opponents team and discuss what moves are the best ones. The game ended 0-2 (2-1).<br />
<h3>
Game 4 vs Nurgle</h3>
<div>
Last game of the tournament and I still had a chance to win a prize, the wooden spoon. I was up against nurgle (BoN (guard, 3 burgle warriors (3xblock), 3 pestigors (sure hands, dodge, frenzy), 5 rotters, 3 rerolls) and the guy in the lead for Most CAS. Don't ask me how though as he only had three block and one mighty blow.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 12.800000190734863px;">Kicking!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
This guys dice were hot and he managed to stun a dwarf per turn (or worse). I had nine dwarves at the end of the first half, but still managed to halt his advance and the half ended 0-0.<br />
<br />
In the second half, I moved up the pitch and scored my first touchdown of the day(!), giving him three turns to equalize, but I stopped him again, wining the game 1-0 (0-3).<br />
<h3>
Summary</h3>
I sustained seven casualties, which is the same number I took playing wood elves at <a href="https://bbpedda.blogspot.de/2018/01/update-for-2017.html" target="_blank">Xmas Bowl 2017</a>. I caused seven casualties, which is half of what I managed with my wood elves. If you had asked me prior to the two tournaments, I would have expected the dwarves to dish out more hurt, but that's the way it is sometimes.<br />
<br />
I'll give the dwarves another go sometime. It can't get much worse.<br />
The wrestle runner will get switch for a mighty blow longbeard. I do like playing elves more than dwarves, but it's good to switch it up sometimes and it was more fun that I thought it would be and considering how bad this tournament went, it should be quite fun, if it goes halfway as planned.<br />

I was blessed with my second daughter in August and have since used my free time for the hobby and not the blog.<br />
<br />
I hope to remedy this in 2018, but I thought I'd update you on what I've been up to hobby-wise since my last post.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Tournaments</span></h2>

I've played in two tournaments since my last post. I played two games as the odd man out at Underground Cup and finished the year of with XMas Bowl.</div>

I played pro elves in round 1 and in round 5. Spielmacher, my co-organiszer played the other games as I had to get back to my family.</div>
<br />
The tournament was a success and I won one game and lost to the tournament champion, Sprinter in round 1 (although it was a close game).<br />
<br />
We've decided to change Underground Cup to a one day tournament with four games (as the first instance) and introduce a new tournament, the <a href="https://berlin-open.blogspot.de/" target="_blank">Berlin Open</a> as a two day tournament in September. We hope to get a large amount of attendees from the rest of Europe since we offer something that's quite rare now, the "TV110 + (5+1) Skills"-format.<br />

XMas Bowl</h4>
<div>
<a href="https://bbpedda.blogspot.de/2016/11/xmas-bowl-ii.html" target="_blank">As last year,</a> I went with wood elves, but this time with a different roster. A roster that I like more than others, but I haven't had enough linemen painted before to field it. There were some special tournament rules in place, like a free snotling (with sneaky git and loner), a free cheerleader if the roster was handed in on time and the winter pitch weather table was in play.</div>

<u>Game 1 vs Skaven</u></div>

<u>Game 2 vs Skaven</u></div>

My opponent was newish to the game and gave me too much space to work with. I could easily screen off and he also placed too many players in contact. The game should have ended 2-0 for me, but a crazy set of rolls made it 2-1.</div>

<u>Game 3 vs Norse</u></div>
<div>
I was up against a coach that I play once in a while for tournament training. Things looked okay for him util I had a monster turn were I removed four players (1 KO, rest CAS). After that turn, the game was more or less over. It would have been 3-0 if a hand off wasn't dropped on a 1 reroll 1 in the last turn.</div>

<div>
<u>Game 4 vs Dark Elves</u></div>
<div>
My opponent was quite unlucky in combination with being to aggressive. It resulted in turnovers when he was out of position. I won the game 3-1 and some of it was thanks to his players being removed by the turnovers (and my players). The game could have ended 4-1 in turn 16, but once again, 1 reroll 1 stopped that.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Conclusion</u></div>
<div>
After round 4, there were two coaches on 3-1-0. I thought I had won the tournament, but as it turned out, we had the same Net TD (first tiebreaker) and the second tiebreaker was Net CAS, which was my problem. I had suffered too many casualties and the other coach hadn't (orcs). I came in second for the second year in a row, but this year I also left with Most TD and to my surprise Most CAS.</div>
<div>
I was happy with my result but sad that I would have won the tournament if any of the turn 16 scores would have worked in game 3 and 4. So close, but I'll be back next year!</div>

Hobby</h2>
<div>
I've managed to get some hobbying done in the evenings, when the girls were in bed. I had parental leave for the first month and managed to paint half a dwarf team, which was more than I thought I'd manage. I kept on with hobbying in the evenings and managed to finish the team before Christmas.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I also primed my dice tower to have a scoreboard and weather icons.</div>
<h4>

<h4>
Dice Tower</h4>
<div>
I added magnets to the dice tower and covered it in planks made out of plastic card. I then made scoreboard markers and weather icons out of plastic card and glued them to a thin metal foil. Worked like a charm and I can now just point to the dice tower when people come up to me at tournaments, asking for the score.</div>

Game 1 vs Lizards</h3>
First game was against my friend Spielmacher and we've played several game against each other. I was a bit disappointed to play him, since we play each other so often, but our games are always fun. I also knew that it was going to be tough since he's a good player.<br />
<br />
Nice Weather<br />
FAME +1<br />
<br />
The game kicked off with some brilliant coaching from the opposing team (one reroll awarded on the kick off table).<br />

The lizards could scoop up the ball and move down the pitch and even CAS a catcher in turn 4, but that's when their advance was halted.<br />
<br />
I managed to get a 1d blitz with strip ball on the ball carrier which resulted in the ball being on the floor.<br />

The second half started with a riot and a quick score from the wood elves (in turn 11).<br />
<br />
The elves then kick off to the lizards, but managed to change their defensive set up in the process, which meant that the lizards were under pressure directly.<br />
<br />
I went for some elfen bull shit in my next turn and dodged my strip ball wardacner in to the lizard cage/screen for a 1d on the ball, which was striped, but still in two tacklezones. I then leaped with the dancer, picked the ball up and dodged away.<br />

Game 2 vs Orcs</h3>
Nice weather<br />
FAME -2<br />
<br />
I started by kicking the ball to my opponent, which is how I like to start a game against a slow moving bash team. The kick was shallow and the ball ended up close to the LOS. No ideal, but it also put my opponent under pressure to pick up the ball in his first turn.<br />

<br />
9 (well, 8 and a tree) should be enough to score against 11 orcs, but the half started with a pitch invasion, which had me worried due to the +2 FAME for my opponent. I was extremely lucky that he only stunned two of my players.<br />

Game 3 vs Lizardmen</h3>
Nice weather<br />
FAME -1<br />
<br />
Second game against lizardmen and I was yet again up against a good coach. This time it was Junior84 and he got the ball to start the game which he didn't even have to pick up as a saurus caught the ball as it bounced in to its hands. In hindsight, this was a good thing for me as it was once less saurus to worry about. One player less, that was swinging away at the elves.<br />

I was happy with the result and after day 1 I was now on 3-0-0 and I already knew that I was up against the other wood elf player, also on 3-0-0.<br />

But before that there were some activities in Marians garten including grilled sausages and beer.<br />
A nice evening and I very much enjoyed having a chat with the other players outside of the tournament.<br />

I kicked the ball to my opponent and if I had had the chice, I would have wanted the ball as well, just to get some blocks in and maybe gain a numbers advantage, but my opponent didn't take the opportunity and just left the treeman in contact.<br />

All I had to do now was to slowly move up the pitch in a cage, forcing him to leap and hopefully fail something as he just had two rerolls. This was my plan going in to this game, but don't ask me why, but that's not what I did.<br />

I think I was being influenced by my opponents play stile and the kind of game it had already been, so I moved up the field behind a lose screen. The opposite to what I should have done. My opponent leaped in, striped the ball and was off with it. He scored in his turn 13.<br />
<br />
As we set up for the following kick off, I still thought I could save the draw. He rolled for the kick off event and it was a BLITZ!<br />
<br />
I still managed to get the ball and made a run for it, but didn't make it. The game ended in a loss, but was still an exciting game. I should have stuck with the plan I had formed the day before, but in the heat of battle, you tend to forgot stuff.<br />

I could even get a blitz on the ball carrying skink in my turn 3, but wasn't able to recover the ball.</div>
<div>
In my 5th turn, I made a fatal error. I hadn't blitzed yet and could still move my thrower. My gut feeling was telling me that I shouldn't jeopardize the thrower, but I went for it anyway. I wasted a rerolled on a dodge for the thrower and got pushed for the blitz on a skink. I followed up the blitz as well, which meant that my opponent blocked the thrower and injured him, leaving me without the leader reroll for the second half. This was foolish on my part. Lesson to be learned, you don't need to blitz overturn just because you have a blitz action.<br />
<br />
In my opponents 7th turn, he injured a lineman as well, which meant that I would be down on players for the second half.<br />

The first half did end 0-0 as my opponent blitzed a wrestle lineman with his guard saurus (to open a lane for his skink) with a double both down result. He didn't have any rerolls left and I didn't use wrestle.</div>
<div>
<br />
It was now 8 elves and a treeman against a full team of lizardmen. The quick off was a quick snap.<br />
My plan was to stall as long as possible, but I believe that this was the wrong plan. In hindsight, I should have scored quickly to ensure the draw (more or less), but instead I started to lose more elves and used up my rerolls. I eventually lost the ball due to a 1 reroll 1 dodge (including a injured elf) and the ball was scoped up by my opponent for a touchdown in turn 14.<br />

I was hoping to kick the ball to my opponent, forcing him to pick the ball up in the rain, but he got the choice. He then rolled a weather change on the kick off table, but the rain kept pouring down.<br />
<br />
I scored in my 5th turn as I couldn't safely stall and I knew that he'd probably have a difficult time picking up the ball. At least I hoped he would, but a saurus caught the bouncing ball on a 6. So much for that plan. Bright spot though, the ball was on a saurus, which meant that there were less saurus hitting my players.<br />
<br />
I managed to stop him from scoring, which meant that it was 1-0 at halftime.<br />
<br />
I had 9 players for the second half and he had 10.<br />
We both got a reroll from the kick off event as he moved up the pitch after picking the ball up in the rain.<br />

I managed to steal the ball from him and could score in turn 11. It was a weird game as I had inflicted 2 casualties to his zero so far.<br />
<br />
The next kick off gave us another set of rerolls and I went all in for the ball. Worst thing that could happen was a 2-1, but I managed to surf his ball carrier and could scope up the ball for a turn 16 touchdown.<br />
<br /></div>

<h3>
Conclusion</h3>
<div>
I ended the tournament on a 4-0-2 record and 4th pace, which isn't bad. I also came in second for the best painted, which I'm also happy with. But where did it go wrong?<br />
<br />
I talked to my wife on the way to the tournament on day 2 and she said that I'd, as always, lose on day 2. She was right and it's because I put pressure on myself for day 2. The games meant something as on day 1, I just played every game, not considering the tournament as a whole. I need to learn from this and go in to day 2 with a more relaxed mind set. I also should have taken a step back in game 4 and reflected on my game plan. I had the feeling "I've got this" on both game 4 and 5, which meant that I lowered my guard a bit. I need to stop that.<br />
<br />
The tournament as a whole was great and I'll try to be back next year as well.<br />

</tbody></table>
I wasn't sure off the roster and I'm going to make some changes to it. I've now painted the remaining two linemen for the team, which enables me to play them as pro elves and the following roster.<br />
<br />
1 Treeman<br />
2 Wardancers (Strip Ball)<br />
1 Catcher<br />
7 Linemen (2 Wrestle, Block)<br />
3 Rerolls<br />
1 Fan Factor<br />
<br />
I think that this roster fits my play style better as it's more strength 3 players and I'm not relaying on the leader reroll. I'm not sure about the remaining two skills yet, but I'm thinking off putting dodge on two linemen. The guard on the tree is sometimes great, but other times a waste. I guess the same argument could be made for dodge, but I see more use there.<br />
Any suggestions? Frenzy/Tackle on the second wardancer perhaps?<br />

It was that time of the year again and I was looking forward to this year even more because not only was brocCooLi joining me again, but also Duckwing and inforthepain. We had a great weekend and even if I had lost all my games, I would have been happy. It wasn't the case though as I played six very enjoyable games of blood bowl during the weekend.</div>

The weekend started with a train ride from Berlin do Düsseldorf with Spielmacher and Heroic_Tackle. The 4,5 hours felt like nothing as we played card games and chatted. I think I'll go with the train again next year.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once at the hostel I talked to people about blood bowl, painting and life until 2 o'clock. So much fun although I stayed up longer than I originally had planned. After a nice breakfast on Saturday it was time for the tournament.</div>
<h3>
Roster</h3>
<div>
I went with wood elves for this tournament because I was hoping to be nominated for best painted. I wasn't since my team wasn't converted nor had a special theme. I still think that my team was better than some of the team presented, but it wasn't meant to be. I need to add more crude highlights and edge highlights to make my team look better from afar. That's what I've learnt from both Preußenbowl and the Dungeonbowl.</div>

<div>
The roster was more or less the standard wood elf roster, but with a few tweaks.</div>
<div>
I went with the extra lineman instead of a catcher as I feel that having three ST2 players is a bit much for my playing style. I'll even go down to one once I've painted the last two linemen.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I also didn't skill both wardancers as they are already a target as it is. It's better to spread out the skills and risks, especially since I play without an apothecary. Thanks to Spielmacher for his advice on this.</div>

<h3>
Game 1 vs Dwarves</h3>
FAME -2<br />
<br />
I kicked to my opponent and our fans decided that it was time for a riot, which I was happy with. I was also lucky since I didn't lose a player in the first (or rather second) turn. After that, I just gave my opponent the blitz and the block on the treeman. The treeman didn't take an action for the first half and tied one or two blockers up as well as acting as a road block. I cut my opponent off with my catchers in the backfield, which meant that he had to blitz one two switch sides. This meant that he was moving from side to side, but never forward.<br />

Needles to say, I stopped my opponent from scoring and he even fouled a lineman on turn 8, resulting in a stun and a send off. Good half!<br />
<br />
For the second half, there were 9 elves (8+1 treeman) against 11 dwarves.<br />
<br />
I scored in my turn 13 after he backed away too much and left an opening. I had to blitz a troll slayer, stunning him, which meant that I was untouchable. I got a KO back after scoring so it was now 10 vs 11.<br />

Game 2 vs vamps</h3>
FAME -2<br />
<br />
I kicked to my opponent whom also got an extra reroll. He veared to the (my) left and then went back to the right side, but left an opening for me in turn 6, which I took. I blitzed the ball carrier with my strip ball wardancer and got the ball lose. It bounced out and was then thrown in towards my endzone, where it went out again, finally landing on my left side, just next to the sideline.<br />

Players from both teams raced to the left side and after a failed pass to Wilhelm Chaney in the endzone, I could scoop up the ball and throw it for a touchdown in my turn 8.<br />
<br />
As we kicked off the second half, the referee was exchanged for a a fan (we both got a bribe) and I stalled the game out, scoring late in the second half.<br />

<h3>
Game 3 vs Undead</h3>
FAME -1<br />
<br />
I kicked and got a perfect defense, which enabled me to not take two mummy hits on the first turn. I tried to stop him from scoring with the column defense, but wasn't successful. I also made a stupid mistake on my turn 7, which more or less opened the path for him to score.<br />

What I wanted to do was to blitz in a wardancer on to his ball carier to force him to either dodge or blitz the dancer away, but it didn't work since I didn't get the cage corner down. What I should have done was either to go for the strip ball blitz, but it would probably have been better to not blitz at all and just set up a solid columns defense.<br />
<br />
0-1 (0-2) in the first half.<br />
<br />
As the undead kick off to the 8 elves and the treeman, they rearange their defense, which made me happy about just having three players on the LOS.<br />

I had to score quickly (turn 2) and my plan was to try and force the ball out with the stip baller and hope for a draw or a win, if I was very lucky.<br />
<br />
I tried to leap in twice, but couldn't make a 3+ with a reroll. I was getting more and more desperate and had to blitz in with a catcher. The catcher made the 5+ dodge and even got the ball on the ground.<br />
If I was lucky, my opponent failed the pick up and I'd have a chance at a draw.<br />
<br />
It wasn't to be and the undead picked up the ball the turn after (turn 15) and easily scored in turn 16.<br />
<br />
1-2 (1-2)<br />
<h3>
Game 4 vs norse</h3>
FAME -1<br />
<br />
I decided to receive the ball hoping to get the first shots in at that AV7. My opponent was quite aggressive in his defense and went out off his way to foul a catcher on my left side. This left an opening in his defense and all I had to manage was a 2+ pass from my thrower to my wardancer. I snaked the pass.<br />

<br />
It went better than I thought it would and I managed to knock the ball lose more than once. This however meant that my opponent didn't score early and I had to up the pressure to avoid the score at all as my numbers were dwindling.<br />
<br />
I didn't quite make it and my opponent could score in turn 16.<br />
<br />
As my opponent kicked off for the last turn of the game, he rolled a quick snap. After a push, my catcher was already in reach of the endzone. All I had to have now was luck. My hopes were quickly crushed by Nuffle as the pick up was a 1.<br />

1-1 (0-3)<br />
<h3>
Game 5 vs necro</h3>
FAME -1<br />
<br />
I got the choice of defending or not and decided to kick. The fans rewarded me with some extra support and a reroll. My opponent went down my left flank and I managed to set up a solid defense and have my treeman block the cut back. I then blitzed a zombie away from the treeman and slammed him in to the necromantic team, pinning them between the treeman and the elves. Things were looking up as I had my opponent looked down, but I made a mistake. I placed a lineman to guard against the cutback, but I should have placed him closer to the treeman so that he couldn't be assisted against. My opponent took advantage and blocked the treeman down and blitzed the cut back guard, changing sides and suddenly it was back to the status quo.<br />

I still put up a good defense and my opponent had to roll dice in order to score in turn 8, but he managed a 3+ dodge and two GFIs for the score.<br />

Turn 8 0-1 (0-1)<br />
<br />
I tried for the one turn touchdown, but a snaked leap stopped any chance of an equalizer before the half.<br />

I managed to sneak past the necromantic team and was in a position to score with a wardancer. All I had to do was make two GFIs. I made the first one with a reroll and debated on still trying for the second one, but in the end, I didn't. It was to risky. One in six to lose the game there and then. Instead, I let my opponent roll the dice and after four block dice, he got the pow he needed. The rest of the half then turned into a scrum for the ball and I managed to get the ball and score in turn 14.<br />

I was hoping to be able to stop my opponent, but as I made a dodge that pesky one starred back at me. This left an opening and my opponent set up a cage in my backfield. I leapt in and stripped the ball away. Here, I made another error. I should have leapt in with the second wardancer as well, scattering the ball, hopefully further out of reach for the ghoul to pick up, which would have resulted in a pass or a hand off play. Now, all my opponent had to do was to block the war dancers away, just needing pushes and then pick up, followed by two GFIs.<br />
<br />
Turn 16 1-2 (0-2)<br />
<br />
Even though I lost, this was a great game and I wasn't to beat up having lost to one of the guys on Team England.<br />
<h3>
Game 6 vs Amazons</h3>
Up until this game, brocCooLi and I had the same record, 2-1-2 which meant two things. 1, we were paired up against each other and 2, who ever lost this game would be the "Worst Gothenburger", walking away with a medal. The game felt like a final. I was also excited to play brocCooLi as we've never played in a tournament.<br />
<br />
FAME 0<br />
<br />
The elves kicked off the game as the sneaky amazons moved a bit forward before the ball was in the air.<br />
<br />
What hopefully would be a fun and close game soon turned into a slaughter. By turn 2, I had 7 players left on the field.<br />

In my turn 10, I saw an opening and I handed the ball off to a wardancer who went in deep into enemy territory. All I had to do now was to set up a screen. First dodge for the screen was a double 1.<br />
<br />
This evolved into a scrum in the middle of brocCooLis half.<br />
<br />
I did get the ball back after a strip ball wardancer blitz, but lost it again.<br />
This was a nerv wrecking game as the ball possession changed a couple of times.<br />
<br />
I dodged a wardancer in and picked the ball up in a tackle zone, then dodge back to pass the ball to a catcher that was in a tackle zone. Interception! Oh no, I thought that I had lost the game.<br />
<br />
The ball changed hands again as I managed to leap in with my strip ball wardancer to have the ball bounce into the hands of a catcher, who went off downfield towards brocCooLis endzone. The catcher was then blitzed and brocCooLi rolled a dodge pow + push, rerolled for a double push.<br />
<br />
That was the end of it and I could score in turn 15.<br />
<br />
The next kick was deep and I could mark both the ball and the scoring threats, but brocCooLi had a chance, but a double skull stopped it all.<br />
<br />
2-1 (2-3)<br />
<br />
The best game of blood bowl I've ever had!<br />
I can't describe it in words but it was a great finish to an awesome tournament.<br />
<h3>
Conclusion</h3>
This is the most fun I've had in a tournament. Everything was perfect. Great games with fun opponents and late evenings with games, beer and laughter. I hope that next year can live up to this.<br />
<br />
I'm also happy with my result, 3-1-2 and the 22nd spot. My loses were close calls, especially game 5. I liked the roster better and will try the seven lineman roster in the next tournament that I take wood elves.<br />
<br />
Thanks to the organizers, my opponents and all the attendees for making dungeonbowl great again!<br />
See you in 2018!<br />

I went to my friend brocCooLis tournament back in March. I didn't take any notes so this will be a short report, but it was a good tournament.</div>
<h3>
Roster</h3>
<div>
For this tournament each team got 1170k to play around with. I decided to play pro elves, since I would be able to use my elves (and be forced to paint more of them) and because the rules weren't that good for wood elves.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I went with four catchers due to the extra cash even though three are more standard.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2x Blitzers (2x Dodge)</div>
<div>
4x Catchers (2x Wrestle, 2x Dodge)</div>
<div>
1 Thrower (Leader)</div>
<div>
5x Linemen</div>
<div>
2x Reroll</div>
<div>
Apothecary</div>
<div>
Fan Factor</div>
<div>
Assistant Coach</div>
<div>
Cheerleader</div>
<h3>
Game 1 vs necro</h3>
<div>
I started the tournament by playing against Skuld to whom I've never lost (before this game I was 1-1-0 against him). Hopefully it would stay that way, but he's a good player and he ended up winning the tournament. I think I was fortunate to play him in the morning as he'd stayed up longer than I had the night before, playing board games at brocCooLis place.<br />
<br />
We both made mistakes, but I wasn't punished for mine. He blitzed with a wolf, not realizing that the follow up would be a one die and got a skull (having already used the reroll that turn).<br />
<br />
I made an error, leaving a huge gap in my screen, somehow not seeing that two players were three squares apart and not two. After some risky 3+ dodges and dodge with my last player to were the hole was and after filling the gap, that I didn't see, Skuld pointed it out to me. If I had failed any of the risky 3+ dodges in my turn before filling the gap, I would probably not have won the game, but it would rather been a draw.<br />
<br />
2-0 (1-2)</div>
<h3>
Game 2 vs necro</h3>
This was a horrible game for me. Nothing went to plan and my opponent Jaqra and I could only watch as the dice decided that the elves weren't going to play at all (failed dodges, CAS etc).<div>
<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Not looking good for the elves. 5 elves on the pitch for second half</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
I had five elves on the pitch for the second half and I couldn't do much else but watch Jaqra win the game.<br />
<br />
0-3 (0-3)<br />
<h3>
Game 3 vs vampires</h3>
</div>
<div>
I was up against vampires with Wilhelm Chaney, but his wrestle worked in my favor. My opponent used him to put pressure on me in my backfield as I received the ball in the first half. As he wrestled his target to the ground the elves gather around him and kicked him in the head. The process was repeated twice (I think) and after that Wilhelm decided that he'd take a nap in the KO box. A long nap.<br />
<br />
I won the game 2-0 and when I did run the ball in turn 16, there was just a vampire and a handful of thralls left on the pitch to watch.<br />
<br />
2-0 (3-1)</div>
<h3>
Game 4 vs necro</h3>
<div>
There were four necro teams in the tournament and I had to face three of them (1st, 2nd and 3rd place). This team was coached by inforthepain, a very good coach, but it was a close game non the less.<br />
<br />
I started off on defense and managed to contain the necros, but at a critical moment, I rolled a double skull with a blitzer against a flesh golem (2d in my favor) which meant that inforthepain could break through that side and make progress. I still think it was the right call to make the block as the risk of failure was 1 in 36 and anything else would have been fine. This lead to the 1-0 and to add insult to injury, inforthepain made two greed blocks before scoring, a CAS and a KO.<br />
<br />
In the second half, inforthepain put me under pressure, but I saw an opportunity to take advantage and break away with the ball in to his half of the pitch, but a failed catch (1 reroll 1) put an end to that plan.<br />
<br />
Inforthepain could recover the ball and scored again.<br />
<br />
0-2 (0-2)</div>
<h3>
Game 5 vs norse</h3>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">
This game started out with a blitz for the norse, which saw an ulfwerner blitz a bliter to surf him. Yes, my opponent forgot that they have side step and the ulf was surfed as a respons. The elves stalled it out and scored in turn 8.</div>
<br />
<a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C7RUjMTX4AENAJo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C7RUjMTX4AENAJo.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Start of the second half</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This were looking up and all I had to do was stop the norse from scoring. I got a one die blitz on the ball carrier on my first turn (with a wrestle catcher) and gor the ball on the ground. Sadly, I had to use the reroll on a one for another catcher, that was going for the punt play. Since I had to GFI again to reach the ball, I didn't. In hindsight, I should have gone for that extra GFI, because if I had managed to pick the ball up and punt it, the game would have been over. High reward indeed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But, it wasn't to be and the norse could pick up the ball again but they couldn't really advance down the field until a turn on which they stunned both blitzers, which made it impossible for me to set up a good defense. My opponent walked down the field and I threw everything I had at him to stop the norse from scoring, but it wasn't meant to be. I couldn't make any 3+ or 4+ dodges with dodge.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1-1 (2-0)</div>
</div>
<h3>
Game 6 vs pro elves</h3>
<div>
This was a great game against Pellevin, an elf off.<br />
I started off on offense and Pellevin was pressuring me to try and get me to score, but I could stall it out ending the half with 1-0.<br />
<br />
In his drive, I got him to score to early and I could then score my second touchdown in turn 15, aided by a pitch invasion that stunned seven out of his elves.<br />
<br />
Pellevin almost made the one turner, but failed to recognize that I had positioned a blitzer on the LOS. His set up was not going to cut it unless he got a quick snap. The kick off result was a quick snap and it was almost 2-2 if those goblins hadn't put that trip wire on the goalline. Phew, I came away with the win there, but just barely.<br />
<br />
2-1 (2-2)</div>
<h3>
Conclusion</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I really had fun this tournament which was a relief after my last tournament (Preußenbowl III). I enjoyed playing pro elves and I will do so again. I just need to paint another lineman, which is now on my painting table (actually two, to finish the pro/wood elf team).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I ended up in 4th place which I was happy with, but I also walked away with the best sportsmanship trophy which was even better. It was a tie between thenickeninja (vampire player) and myself. Five out of my six opponents had voted for me. The award was awarded to me after a dice off. Thanks to thenickeninja for being such a great sport about not winning the best sport!</div>

Since I won the Gôrgo at gBBg, I'm now considered an honorary Gothenburger and can be awarded the "Worst Gothenburger" Award at any tournament in which two or more people from Gothenburg/Honorary Gothenburgers play.
