PS: 3 games in. Methinks thou doth missed something, Rabidredneck
Yah. No din-din make Az a sad troll.
Can Az din-din next one he beat up?
(well, at least we've started getting some SPP for the trolls, even if we only have 2 each. getting block and guard would be awesomesauce)

Match 4!
We're playing orcs, which we never got around to doing with the chaos team. I hate Orcs, they're basically humans on steroids.
They get only 10K inducements, and both our trainings fail to get a result.
Oooh, nice. Means my weapons won't be sent of this half.
FACT: five patches in, there's still a dubiously copious amount of typos in the event descriptions.
Frith, sometimes I really stupid it up. I forgot that Edward does *not* have dodge, as a Looney. He has to make a 6+ dodge roll. Why 6+? Well, I do believe that stunty does not do the "ignore multiple tackle zones" thing for Gobbos with secret weapons, but I'm not sure. It doesn't say so in the description, but it seems to work that way.
With JoKa closing in with his ball 'n chain their thrower hands off to their goblin, who takes it downfield.
A blitz with two dice rolls and a reroll. Obviously, I failed to bring him down, rolling only a defender stumbles, two pusheds and one attacker down in 4 rolls.
Apparently the dice hate everyone today! He gets tackled as he tried to make a run for it.
Mantiis picks it up, makes a dodge and hands off to Padre...
Who tries and fails to run to Azire (wanted to try a throw to put him and the ball out of orc range)
The orcs decide to help me out a bit by failing a pickup, and then failing a catch roll, juggling the ball out of the field. No luck on throwing it back in, as it ends up on our half of the field.
Here you can see Silellak backtracked unto our half to pick up the ball, and Biz makes a move to assist him but is brought down for this game and next.
Silellak's attempt to run to a troll fails. Frith, how can I ever try this throw teammate thing if they never even reach the troll?
Hmmm. I do not use the apothecary, hoping he'll regenerated, but he rolls a 1, failing his regenerate skill, so I'm down a troll.
Half-time!
We caused zero injuries despite our secret weapons, and that's never good, but with only 2 injuries, 1 KO and 2 sent off, we still have a full team, including Jasede.
Jasede has the ball and I moved GarfunkeL deep for the hand-off.
Vortexx sweeps up the path a bit, and Jasede pogos deep for the hand-off.
Who was it that advised me to try more hand-offs, again? Whoever it was, just an FYI: I hate you.
I luck out as their thrower, who was still in the backfield, fumbles his pick-up roll.
Jasede picks it up and dodges out.
Ride 'em, Cowboy!
3 sent off, 2 injured, we're really keeping the casualty count down. Still fielding 10, in fact, and kicking off.
Oh. Fielding 9, then.
Honestly not doing very good trying to hold the box at all. All attacks failed so far, and they're blowing open holes in the lines.
Again, Vortexx fails to bring the thrower down. Blitzing without secret weapons is hard, but at least I'm holding them from scoring.
He slips out, and yet another blitz fails. I shouldn't be expecting much more than failures, they're all double-red-dice blitzes.
Aznok simulates the rape he is doling out to me.
I get the ball with one turn left, so I try to have Silellak pick it up, to hand off to Vortexx, who will then be thrown by the troll and run it in. It seems to me this is theoretically possible, or does landing mean you can't move anymore? I never checked. Anyway, it fails as Silellak fumbles his pickup.
Forgot to screencap the results. Not much interesting; we sustained 3-4 injuries without returning the favor a single time. I never used the apothecary but no injury was permanent, though Biz will miss the next match. Edward Murrow is MVP.
Jasede gets a level-up. It's agi-only, so it's catch he gets. It goes along well with long legs for interception attempts, but mostly it means he'll be taking rather than giving handoffs.
With 2 ties and 2 wins, we're still doing well. We're currently ranked second, behind the humans (3 wins 1 loss). Next up are the Lizardmen, and then this season is over (unless we enter playoffs, never checked how that works, who goes in and who plays who)

Yeah. Honestly, it's no fun; I didn't necessarily expect every game to be the 7-injury 3-touchdown fest I usually get when playing against Gobbos, but even so, playing them has seen me discover they're actually a somewhat viable team to play.
Brother None said:
I think that is in large part due to the AI not playing the goblins right. One of the fun things about Blood Bowl is that it really isn't balanced. But still, any team is viable, if you play the strengths and try to avoid doing what the team really shouldn't be doing.
My first team when I bought this game was a wood elf team on easy.
That was no fun. I won no matter what I did, could even play the team as if it was a bashy one.
Then I started a chaos team on medium difficulty, inspired by the chaos LP. Got a draw a couple of times in the start, until I learned how to do chaos, and since then I just murdered any and all AI teams.
Feeling cocky I started a wood elf team again, now on hard. And I had to learn how to properly play them, or I'd get murdered. Now that I actually play a passing game and avoid having more than one or two players the AI can block each turn besides blitzing means I win again.
Same with goblins. If you play your own game and not what the AI wants you to, you can get fairly good results.
There's always instances where the dice hate you of course, but that's what makes the game fun, eh?
Anyhoo, if you're not completely fed up yet, I'd just like to say: keep up the good work! I, for one, am highly entertained! I just hope to see you manage a "throw teammate" or three. :D

Yeah, I might've seen fit to mention I was going to the US for 7 weeks, for voluntary work up in Seattle and New Orleans. And to meet Annie and Brian for beers, which was awesome.
So this thread kinda died. I might pick it up only I'm now doing Risen for a GB review. Oh well. The Gobbos fought bravely, I say.
