Tabletop Smash!
Had a tabletop game against someone i've been playing against for years and i was surprised at how much my playing style had changed. I was using Dark Elves v Wood Elves and i was the underdog by 260k.

I took Horkon because multistab and mv7 shadowing is pretty Cool and a babe because i didn't want to be outnumbered by tree huggers. :)

I had plus 1 Fame and he won the toss and chose to receive. He scored in 2 turns as expected but my Tackle Blitzer took his Ag5 catcher out of the game.

I then got the ball and slow marched up the pitch with a very loose cage with Guarders next to the ball carrying Blitzer for fear of his 2 strip ball, sidestep dancers. Horkon stabbed whenever he could and a rookie lineelf fouled whenever he could and while my loose cage enveloped any downed opponent resulting in the wood Elves having 5 players on the pitch for most of the half and none of them specialists. I scored in turn 8.

Wardancers and catcher came back but noone else did leaving me with a 3 man advantage and receiving the ball.

Played it the same as the first half and slow marched up the pitched breaking players as i went including killing the other catcher with a foul that the apo rerolled to dead.
After turn 4 of the second half i was pretty much securing and surrounding his players while the ball carrier ran towards the td line and stalled out for the win.

Normally i'd have scored early and the match would have become a back and forth scorefest but i think playing fumbbl has probably made me a bit more competitively minded. A nice solid win with casualties heavily in my favour at 5 to nil.

The only thing is that I've now made it easier for other opponents in the league to get a win which if the score a lot in will possibly put them higher up the league than me. Possibly a bit of an own goal in the long run but oh so sweet at the moment. :)

You're lucky. My friends mostly don't want to play me in tabletop anymore =/ (buncha cowardly n00bs, I tells ya!)

I never bought into the argument of "its bad to give the next guy such an easy game". You will get your share of easy games from other peoples bash fests. In the TT league I play in, I am the superstar player thanks to fumbbl. I really enjoy it when a guy just starts over with a new team after playing me.

I'm curious to hear about anyone having a fight/argument in a TT league for playing with a FUMBBL mentality :)

Flashback - Fortunately no arguments although there was rightly some grumbling about the death of his sure feet blodging catcher with sidestep. Apo fail is never fun. :)

JoseBagg - We play a fixed schedule league so each season you have to play (in this case) 3 games against the same opponents with only 2 friendlies allowed per season. Quitting would mean he'd only be allowed to play friendlies until the cup at the end of June so it'd be a bit of a wait while everyone else is busy with their divisions.

Maysrill - Certain styles of play certainly don't win you friends but keeping them should be fine. :) Train them up. :)

I think your problem is not that removing players makes for easier matches. The problem is that scoring in turn 8, while tactically solid and netting you a win, actually lands fewer SPPs for both coaches.

If the other people in the same league keep scoring 2TTDs both ways, their SPP progression will be faster (as well as suffering fewer casualties).
