Completed Blood Bowl: The End

[hoverdog]

For normal rolls, Guard is indispensable. Then either Stand Firm for a defensive road block or break tackle for mobility - the latter is most useful for mummies who aren't handicapped by being a loner. Block on first doubles, always. Then it's a choice between reliability (Pro) or added damage (tackle, frenzy).

Then it's a choice between reliability (Pro) or added damage (tackle, frenzy).

fackle/frenzy is only really a contender for guys with wild animal. Losing tackle zones is god damn painful, so you'd always want a chance to reroll your bone head rolls. Pro is also added damage since it can reroll a double-pushback into a pow. On a treeman I'd even consider pro before block because fuck take root.

 

[RK47]

makes sense.

 

[RK47]

Finally, all Match Day 1 ties are completed and we can move on to week 2!

I'll do some warm up games before taking on Chaos this weekend.

Azira are you up for a practice match? I'll be on fresh human. Pick something bashy.

 

[Azira]

Match? Possibly in about 10½-11 hours from now. My work hours on wednesdays are in the afternoon, but I have to take my mother shopping, otherwise I might've been able to play in about 24-25 hours as well.
Still, might be that I'm available in about 27 hours from now, but I can make no promises.

 

[RK47]

10 hours from now - 1 am.

 

[Azira]

So might be better to aim for tomorrow, got it.

As I said, I have to take my mother shopping, but we might be finished with that in good time, meaning I might be able to play at around 10-11 CET (25-26 hours from now). You're 7 hours ahead of that, right? If so, that'd be 5-6 pm your time?

 

[RK47]

You know me, I'm always on Steam. If you see me, just drop a PM for BB. And leave a link to good hentai. Preferably about rape.

 

[Azira]

"Good" hentai? Is that not an oxymoron?

Being a bland and boring Dane, I know next to nothing of hentai, so I guess you're out of luck there.

 

[RK47]

I suppose I should wait for Jarlfrank's next epic novel installment.
But I disagree.

RPG mechanics in my hentai? What an

 

[Azira]

Xenomorph, stabby, Whitewolf and myself are all mentioned.

 

[Dead Guy]

Nice stuff, will be following, I want to see that Ogre in action!

I tried my hand at BB but I don't know the rules and was too drunk to figure them out well enough or something and didn't get a chance to understand the strategy at all. Good to follow some games before I try it again. Need to get a better feel for the odds of shit failing and causing a turnover for one.

Looks like some of your upcoming opponents suffered a few casualties already? Maybe it's nothing long term, one death for The Banned though, important player or just cannon fodder?

GL!

 

[Azira]

I played a training match against RK, he had a low-skilled human team, and I had a low-skilled (only a single skillup, mighty blow on a blitzer) orc team.
T'was rather uninteresting, but RK effortlessly outplayed me and won 2-0 (or was it 3-0?). Of most note was that I was completely unable to injure any of his humans, and in turn he did a -1ag injury to one of my blitzers.

Looking forward to his match against chaos.

 

[RK47]

delaying my match till weekend so i can play ck2

 

[Brother None]

 

[RK47]

go back to work, BN.
study your enemy:

 

[Azira]

I think RK47 is playing his game right this moment. Whether he's winning or losing is anyone's guess.

 

[RK47]

 

[Azira]

So you're postponing your game for tomorrow?

 

[Corporate_Jew_Master]

Holy shit, since when does Cyprus make so much money?

[RK47]

Due to the match being delayed - not entirely my fault since I've been PM-ing the guy on steam with no luck, I've decided to do a small FREE side-DLC to flesh out the thread a bit.

It's not the Knights of Codexia, though but don't worry, it's still featuring the ever-lovable human.

Buradobowluu Gaiden - 01
Perfecto Starto

Spoiler

Welcome back folks, and thanks for joining us in this Codex MCA Cup competition coming to its last few match days as the top 3 teams are vying for those precious points. Today's two teams feature Redknights (Human) and Beerfags (Norse). An interesting contrast with Knights preferring for high TV roster, and loaded dice. While Beerfags prefer to trim down the Team RRs to keep the TV down.

Humans are as you say 'the half-empty/full glass' of the Blood Bowl teams. Not being a specialist - they were blamed for some sad attempts of other races' play styles mimicry whether it's bash or dodge or passes - they can do it. Just don't expect them to pull it off all the time.

Norse in contrast is a slightly more bashier team - they throw away armor for block, and block and more block. Plus frenzied Werewolves that are stronger than an average man - with a Yhetee capable of spreadng an aura of disturbing appearance, forcing passing errors, even if they're lying on the ground.

Beautiful day for Bloodbowl as the team takes to the field. The Knights are mid table, with ambitions to get top four finish - while Beerfags wants to stay top in the league. Knights having lost 3 out of 8 games so far - while Fags have only drawn 1 and lost 1. The pressure is on for both teams to grab the win as this could decide the title.

Quiet grudge on the field as both coaches refuses to give away their game plan during the pre-match conference. But cynics have pointed out the bloated TV of the Knights have been quite 'uncharacteristic.' But their play on the last game was anything but. A 4-1 rout of Halfling sounds 'feasible' on paper, but the first turn's death of a tree and an injury of another one is anything but normal. Expect the unexpected on today's match as Beerfags win the coin toss and chose to receive. With a Star Yhetee hired with the inducement, shit is gonna get real.

Knights set up formation and whoa....what is this? They're going straight to the grind~! No catchers on the starters, all blitzers, linos and ogre with the rookie thrower on the field. What's it gonna be...?

Crowd cheers as the game kicks off!

A short kick! Just one punt away from the mid line as the Beerfags gets a quick snap and adjust their positioning by 1 tile!

And here comes the Line of Slaughter!

Robo Ky, the Blodger Guardian goes down, but not injured.

Testament, Blitzer gets pushed back as well!

Franz the lino wasn't so lucky and eats a stun.

Hob the rookie lino thinks he dodged a bullet when he got pushed back...

But the werewolf frenzied attack nails him hard and BROKE HIS ARM! The knights are down one man!

Unnravor, the star runner of the Norse team makes a run unchecked, waiting for that oncoming pass...

More line shenanigans as Sol Badguy the ogre gets pushed - so many guards and frenzy out there today.

Anji Mito gets pushed back. The Norse isn't done yet..

Oh wow, a knocked out lino! Davion was lucky to escape injury - that Claw must've hurt! The knights, two down in the first drive! A very rough start.

Turn ends as the Fags get the ball with no problems. Knights will have to make a good play now...

Eomund the rookie thrower with a niggling injury marks the lone runner...

Ky 'The Killer' Kiske starts his blitzing! Will we see his trademark piling on move that claims so many stunty lives today?

Oh DEAR! He failed to slip out! The crowd boos as the Knights fuck up their first real move of the game!

It's a turn over!
Hang on tight folks, we'll be back after the following messages from our sponsor!

 

[RK47]

02 - You too?

Spoiler

And we're back, just in time as the Norse starts a blitz on the lone marker!

Down, but not out.

Looks like one of the Yhetee succumbed to the animal instincts...

Leader roll used to keep him in play.

Only gets a push - but he's got frenzy -

And on the second try...

Down! The ogre retaliates with a good Block! Knights saved by it!

Testament takes down a Norse lino but no injury - but it frees Teef the Ugly to help mark the runner.

Giving, Ky, the assist that he needs...

Just a push, as Unnvaror side steps away out of trouble.

While it's the ogre turn to go bone-head, a reroll was spent, but nothing going.

Robo Ky, having no choice but to dodge out - does it successfully...

Eisore the lino wasn't so lucky.

Nice tackle. Turn over!

Norse takes the ball to the left field...

Another wild animal on the Yhetee. It ain't going nowhere.

But down goes Eomund, his niggling injury making it worse - knocking him out of this drive.

Unnvaror tries to block Ky - but has to reroll to recover from a down. That's two reroll spent of 3 as their turn is over. Exciting high stakes opening play we have here... stay tuned!

 

[RK47]

03 - A rock wrapped in paper

Spoiler

Knight's turn - Teef repositions - giving that assist.

Try as Robo Ky might, Unnrvaror is a stubborn sonuvabitch and stayed upright. Even when a reroll was spent.

Nothing going, another block. Franz the lino, to try again...

And scores an injury! Smashed hip! That's gotta hurt his mobility! Not to mention him missing the next game. No apothecary called down, Norse play on.

Ky can't make things happen. Nothing going, the Knights will have to apply pressure on the ball if they want to make Norse not delay the touchdown. With everyone else in marking duty and not wanting to dodge without reroll, Sol gets to blitz. A rarity.

WHAT POWER!

That's two players down! Turn ends! Norse is gonna have to deal with the ogre quickly.

Yhetee repositions...

Dauntless block failed a roll but got a both down result - last reroll burned - and down Sol Badguy goes...

Threat neutralized, now the other Yhetee can start hitting linos...

But there's another twist to that tale...

Eisore, with a stunning fist ! TURN OVER!

Robo Ky, tries again -

OUCH! Unnravor - badly hurt! Knights laying it out - Norse dangerously close to being severely undermanned for this drive.

Ky only manages a push.

Meanwhile the line skirmish is going to the Knights - several take-downs occured.

Yhetee, Line Norse, and Werewolf all laid down and vulnerable.

Franz gets in positions this could be a fouling setup... either for the Yhetee or the Werewolf...

Sol gets up, but doesn't move.

Teef with the blitz!

Just a push. Is that it for this turn?

NO!

THE WOLF IS KNOCKED OUT! Norse are down another player! Shit got even more real!
HANG ON FOR A QUICK BREAK FOLKS! WE'LL BE BACK! YOU KNOW I WILL!

 

[RK47]

04 - Dangerzone

Spoiler

Beerfags pushes left as the ball runner is free -

Yhetee with a stunning blow on Badguy.

Will the Norse delay the TD or score early? The injury is starting to pile up..

Robo Ky with a turn-ending tackle as Finn fails to slip away.

Anji Mito Blitzes! Where is he going?!

Gets only a push - REROLL!

Only a block! Tense! That ball could've gone out of bounds if he succeeded.

The rest of the Knights aren't even nearby to support him...

Oh boy, looks like there's a party in the Finn's mouth...

And everyone is invited...

Oh, the humanity!

He's finn-ished for this drive. Turn over.

Blitz! They're going to try and free the ball!

Anji gets pushed aside, Beerfag's ball is free!

No delay?

Touchdown!

1 - 0 for the Beerfags! Knights coach still keeping his composure - there's still time. But how about that? A short kick - a botched dodge, a play that largely ignored the ball - rerolls spent on 'star blocks' and multi-gang fouls galore - leading to injuries and knock outs. And a sudden solo blitz - burning the final reroll - forcing the TD to be executed a turn earlier- it's almost as if everything is planned by the Knights up to this point. Now let's see if they can execute the next phase.

Whoa, where are the line man?

Chipp Zanuff, Zappa, both veteran catchers are in the game, paired up with two rookie ones ... Otto and Tristan. Are they going to go for speed runs or a long bomb against two disturbing presences?

Looks like it's ready.

Kick off!

Out of bounds, Hans gets the ball!

Tristan sallies forth!

Zappa gets into the danger zone. Two receivers are already on TD range.

Killer Ky with the blitz.

Sigur tries dodge - but Ky's tackle catches him..

Stuns!

Chipp Zanuff - goes to swap field ... This is funny, are they giving up on the left channel?

While rookie catcher, Ottu goes left -

Robo Ky with a dodge.

Anji Mito goes left!

Only Badguy left on the center -

Pushes the line man moves one tile up!

Hans, the trigger man - what are his options as the turn ends...

Beerfags have to stop the receivers and get that disturbing presence spread better.

Ky goes down, but no injury.

A blitz on the rookie catcher!

Only gets a push!

On the other side, Otto dodges - and stays on his feet.

Sol Badguy eats a claw sandwich and goes down.

The other Yhetee succeeded in repositioning himself, covering the right receiving options with its disturbing presence.

This is gonna be tough - a -1 penalty to catches made in this area - and tight marking ... Knights will have to make a hole somewhere...

Meanwhile, Anji gets pushed to the line, limiting the receiving option on the left...

Hans with a very hard choice to make in the next two turns...

What will it be?
