There seems to be only one thing I write on this blog. And that's ELF. I love ELFing and I love my Wood Elves. However the last couple of days (where I've played a lot, alot of games) have been painful and good at varying degrees.
Let's just say the ELF season
started a bit slowly for me. I played a game, got about five Miss Next Game and didn't really feel like playing more. But I gave in and played a
recovery game that lifted my spirits a bit. Rarely have my elves hurt something this much. Figures it has to be Halflings to be able to hurt anything at all for the team.
But after the game I was back in business. Slowly working my way up to eleven players. An unobtainable goal for a bunch of wood elves that refuse to take dodge on skill rolls.
Then after many hardships I finally got to eleven players and
look what it did to me. 6-0 win against Dark Elves (that unfortunately suffered some bad handicaps and it was a pretty cheap game but still). On the team's 13th game without a win they got their win.
I was happy. I had 11 players and an unstoppable force that could beat anything.
Or so I thought anyway. In the ten games I've played since then I've lost one player per game.
Sometimes even more. But it should even out with the two or three games without losses.
My team is the ballpassers and their goal is essentially passing the ball around a lot. That's why I've never got myself a treeman. Treemen can't really pass the ball a whole lot. But lately I've been considering that extra force on the LOS. I'm guessing it would take some pain off my regular players. And since I never field a full 11-man team anyway I guess I can do with 10 and an immobile fixture near the middle.
Trees? Apparently I can't survive without them. But do I really want to?
