<Russo> hi mate, have fun.
<Russo> remember if you are not sure about rules or stuff
<Russo> just ask
<keating57> what is iron man?
<Russo> I am going to copy the stuff from teh game into the post match report after so that nothing is lost
<Russo> in case you need to look back
<Russo> iron man is that player cant get injured
<Russo> max injury for him is Stunned
<Russo> never leaves the field to injury
<keating57> darn i'm getting no field
<Russo> the field is blue
<Russo> because it is snowing
<keating57> yeah
<keating57> change field usually lets me fix it
<Russo> an you see the little weather icon on the right of the screen
<keating57> yeah
<Russo> that snow means that passing is reduced toi short and quick range only
<Russo> also there is a chance of failing any Go FOr It on a 1 or a 2
<Russo> instead of the normal 1
<keating57> no no, I mean there is no pitch
<keating57> its just the background
<Russo> so your can you see you players
<Russo> and then have a blue screen
<keating57> yeah, no pitch
<Russo> ok then reload
<Russo> russo2
<Russo> sweden1
<keating57> sorry
<Russo> no probs
===========================================================================
<Russo> can you see it now?
<keating57> yeah its the snow
<keating57> i think i have to download a snow pitch
<Russo> lol well its should all come as one
<Russo> have you ciustomised your pitches?
<Russo> if you have that might be the problem
<keating57> no but i made it the small pitch
<Russo> mine is teh small pitch too so not sure really
<Russo> if it keeps happening I would ask in irc if I was you
<keating57> ty for being patient
<Russo> someone there might know what the problem was
<Russo> no probs mate
<Russo> we all have bad atches
<Russo> espesh as newbies
<keating57> i hear ya, hate being a newb
<Russo> for the first 100 games i struggled
<keating57> i'm finding it hard to find a set team to stick with
<Russo> well I have 40 teams on the go at the moment....
<Russo> the key is to find styles of play that you are happier with
<Russo> if you like a passing game then Skaven or elves are your real bets
<Russo> if you like a bashing game then Undead, Khemeri Chaos or ORcs
<keating57> finding running is for me atm, bashy, run it down your throat and lots of cas
<Russo> everything else is kind of in between in terms of rushing the ball but not bashing too much
<Russo> hehe
<keating57> been having good success with ogres so moved onto khemri for a similar feel
<Russo> lol
<Russo> well I am glad you have afeel for Ogres
<Russo> they can be very frustarting for many coaches
<keating57> whys that?
<Russo> who dont like all the bonehead rolls
<Russo> they hate the unpredictability
<Russo> I amOK with them well as in likeling them
<Russo> not necessarily at coaching them
<Russo> :D
<keating57> well they don't bother me, i understand that dice rolls are the bad in bb but hey i like to live dagerously with them
<Russo> hehehe
<Russo> lol
<Russo> looks like this game is over
<keating57> he drunk he don't feel it :P
<Russo> my team is disintegrating
<Russo> :P
<Russo> absolutely everything is not working :D
<keating57> doh, misclick
<Russo> lol
<Russo> hmm
<Russo> I was tempted to take Both Down
<keating57> i'm so used to weak teams that running the ball seems safer
<keating57> in terms of weak i mean not alot of skilled up players
<Russo> lol
<Russo> well at last a bit of good fortune
<keating57> ooo getting some of that back :P
<Russo> some casualties in return
<Russo> :D
<Russo> yes the best players (those better than me that is) lol, they tend to reduce risk by making sure theydont rely on dice rolls unless unavoidable
<Russo> gratz on teh score
<keating57> had to score before he hurt more lol, he angry tree
<keating57> ty
<keating57> you guys have a great community, very helpful players
<Russo> on the whole we are
<Russo> there are some cioaches that just play to annoy others
<Russo> but that is the same on any site
<keating57> lol i met a few
<keating57> revenge is sweet when you can decimate their fouling fools :P
<Russo> lol
<Russo> missed the STR4
<Russo> i am the one playing like a noob today
<Russo> :(
<keating57> its a halfling team tho lol, halflings just scream "anything that can happen...happens"
<Russo> aye but they have a 6-2-1 record
<Russo> :P
<Russo> so tend to have doen well with them
<Russo> :D
<Russo> but I was refering to my lack of checking how your player was skilled
<Russo> i.e. STR4
<Russo> that was careless
<keating57> lol i gotcha now
<Russo> booo
<Russo> could have still scored
<Russo> heheh
<keating57> sorry i sometimes forget about TZ's
<Russo> why are you sorry
<Russo> :D
<Russo> its you that tripped not me
<Russo> :D
<keating57> haha don't know
<Russo> well heres my advice...
<Russo> next time you block make sure it is with 1 elf v my treeman and then say "dont know"
<Russo> :P
<Russo> advice again...try leave as many ball actions till last as possibe
<Russo> so move all those players not in Tackle Zones
<Russo> then do your two dice blocks
<Russo> then the ball
<keating57> ok
<Russo> oucjhy
<Russo> the trees are mad
<keating57> that they are
<keating57> who is decimating who?
<Russo> lolwell yes it is a reversal, but the key was I have not scored :P
<Russo> so pressure is still on me
<Russo> OUCHY
<Russo> that was nasty
<Russo> Diving Tackle is always good skill
<keating57> diving tackle bah!
<Russo> it really does work when people forget to look for it
<keating57> yeah tell me about it lol
<Russo> believe me I have made that mistake so many times too
<Russo> hi
<Russo> are you still there
