“Not sure why my esteemed opponent thinks Nuffle favored me, since I went 0-5 casualties against, failed a 3+ pass with reroll for an easy TD, failed two 2+ dodges so I couldn't defend against the 2-1 (which also involved a 4+ pass on an AG 2 bull) and then faced a blitz.
Imho the TR difference was so large (40+) that it was an unfair battle for the chaos dwarfs, but because of the above the game was exciting until the end. The misclick was as much a decider as was leaving a str 3 non-block non-dodge ball carrier open to a blitz twice. Nuffle has no love for hobbo's who do silly stuff like pick up the ball. ;p

Tee hee a debate about who was the less lucky player! Let's see who wins :)
Hmm don't understand what you mean by the 4+ move thingy. You're talking about the first blitz, right? That catcher had dodge and ag4 and was covered by a bull centaur, so that's only a 3% chance of a fail? Besides, I can't seem to recall ever having to make a roll of more than 3+ on anything...
I'm sure you would have downed the catcher if not for the misclick, though he did have block/dodge. It's interesting that you actually seem to tactically justify leaving the hobbo open to the 1D blitz, because the scatter could have landed in the crowd and then who knows where. So I can't say I like that tactic.
As for the cas, since you had only 11 players even a couple of random KO's would have seriously hampered your team. I DP'd the bull and hit the AV7 hobbo's down a couple of times to no avail. really can't say 0-5 is any kind of unluck, not even teensy weensy. ;p
As for the 50% block: you could have prevented that by covering the ball carrier. I then would have tried to lightning bolt him and the bull and score with the lone lineman, which should have been quite possible. I don't see how the throw-in was lucky since that lineman and my MA7 thrower covered pretty much that whole side of the field. In retrospect I should have tried to score by dodging the lineman into your endzone and then 2x GFI with my thrower.
My dodging was pretty swell, 12 tries in a row on 2+ with no 1. Yet most of these were end of turn dodges with no effect on the game beyond a free armor roll. I also always had a team reroll for the crucial ones. Then when I did need to dodge to prevent you from scoring I rolled two 1s in three tries.
I don't feel Virus is a dud. It's a reward for me because I immediately retire the players that receive a niggling. That said, there were better results, but Knuckledusters is great and a blitz + ball in range is a pretty good result to compensate. Also you won the toss, which is a free handicap. ;p
So I think overall luck was at least a teensy weensy bit on your side, the misclick was unfortunate but not decisive and that you should really take a hard look at the opportunities you gave me to blitz your ball carrier and have the ball scatter into the crowd. Not to say you played badly, on the contrary, but those oversights (in my eyes) just surprised me.
All in all I don't think there was much you could do to win this match-up. A wizard vs dorfs is far superior than one vs elfs. That and the 14 vs 11 players advantage pretty much guaranteed me the victory. My game plan if you were to win the toss was to let you come, then break the cage with wizard and score or at least prevent you from scoring. Then the second half I would stall, spread out your forces and score in turn 6+. With only one mb there wasn't much you could do against that as your main bashy team advantage (player depletion) was pretty much non-existant. Or so I had hoped...
We'll have that rematch with equal TR one day and I'm sure you'll wupp my scrawny elven ass. ;p

A teensy weensy bit unlucky ;)
That and a mother misclick decider lol
----------------------------------
Not quire right ;)
The only guy who was behind my line was your catcher who himself made a 50% (or 4+) move, so to take exception at my 4+ is a little misguided. As for leaving my guy open? Your catcher was surrounded near the touchline. As he was the only one you would blitz that left the rest of your line pretty static, leaving you to either dodge away or block against a decent number of guards (you have to remember, at that point I was 2 players up. I think 1 from mb/cap blocker and the other from the los fodder dp).
If not for the misclick I would have liked my chances to quite easily knock your catcher over with an abundance of tackle, probably pin him near/against the touch line and leave you with nothing of much effect in my backfield without some string dodges through tackle. the outnumbered guys in front would have then just got beaten up and I would have waited for the gap.
As for the casualties I more than doubled your blocks and with 2 mb on the pitch you surely can't be surprized at the cas count?
As for your 3+ pass you then followed up with another 50% block, a lucky scatter OoB followed by an even luckier throw in from the crowd, smack back into the middle of the pitch, away from all my players for you to recapture the ball. I did however manage to re-pop the ball but as I said during the game your dodging was exceptional when you finally rolled a 1 to dodge late in the 2nd.
As for the bc catch (the only 50% move I attempted). That took, a rr whereas you only used 1 for both of yours.
Finally, as for the tr difference. The 2 caps I had was the mb and virus (which in the case of no niggles was less useful than the coin). So yeah, a little unlucky, if I'm honest, but it's good to see another coach mounting a decent arguement rather than some of the more mentalist coaches ;)
Looking forward to the rematch mate. Should be a good one.
