“an example of a coach getting disheartened when his claw/mb players don't perform well right out of the gate...just a few injuries/KO's and he's ready to give up.

Unfortunately for me, I couldn't take advantage of the fact, as his claw guys did start to take their toll in the 2nd half and I was not able to stop his score. But, IMO, he didn't play to win the game, instead, stalling on turn 4 (and losing the ball for 2 turns, giving me a chance to keep the win) to try and ensure the tie. In fact, I had to push him in on turn make him score, hoping for a riot to give me 2 turns to score.

--oh, and it brings a smile to my eye when a coach of an team with MB/Claw/PO players starts losing players to blocks--they invariably start to claim they are getting dice raped..as if no other damage skills (even PO/MB) should work when they play the game--it's only ok if they take your players off the pitch, not the other way around... Not every game is going to be 7+armor and 9+ injury on every block...
The last kick off, I had 8 on the pitch and he had 7..so both teams suffered a bit from being undermanned.

no new skills.”
