People just fear dwarves too much. They are easy to play against, just keep the play spread out, and the dwarves never stand a chance - both above and below 170 TR/TS.

Dwarves aren't so much the problem, I'd be more worried about CDs.
Still, as the TR goes up, Dorfs will be a pain. Good luck and keep it up.

Get as much side step as you can on the zons and they are a pain for every team.

Amazons actually beat dwarves more often than not at low TR, just look at the racial stats. Chaos dwarves, however, are another matter.

No they dont Zombie69
Dwarfs win 50.63% of the time in a rooky match up
110-130 TR dorfs win 51.98% of the time

True. This is what happens when you trust someone else's numbers without checking. Still, the numbers are close, and between 130 and 150, amazons actually have a slight advantage.

true that

Zombie, this might be the first time I've actually seen you show deference to someone!! I'm very proud of you! :)
And yeah, Qaz... kick that dorf heiney all over the pitch with your girls. Numbers schmumbers - you're 5 for 5 and that's all that counts. Well done!

Dorfs smell worse than they actually are. They're short, slow cherries, ripe for the plucking. :-)
5/12 though, in the box? Some dorf teams need to be retired, jeez.

what was the average CR of the dwarf coaches you faced? :P
Posted by Eghost on 2010-05-11 09:42:13
I looked it up since I had nothing better to do. 3 of the 5 had CR below 150, and a "bad" losing record with the team. The other 2 were in the 160 region. So well below you in skill, might say more than the amazon vs dwarf.

It might. I actually did not know. the match ups are in he Black box so I did not chose them myself. And did not look up the coaches. All thou I do remember some of them making some bad mistakes that had impact on the game results
