“A rough game. Fortunately, little harm was done, other than my pride, but I find myself thinking, "oh well, at least we're down to 1210 TV with the troll out. Maybe we can get an easy opponent and get the wolves block."

Which in turn leads me to wonder, why the troll to begin with? I mean, he hasn't really been effective so far, and he just throws me against tougher and tougher opponents that I can't handle with the weapons I have at my disposal (block on everyone, MB on the bigger guys). Now, once the wolves are real killers, and once the berserkers are real killers, and maybe once we have guard on a couple more linemen or something, and enough extra players to make it worth the risk to actually use my DPs...

...well, maybe then we can talk about an environment where the troll might be worth it.

(Not that I'm dumping the troll. I had unusually bad luck last game, and played dwarfs twice in a row. It doesn't take a wizard to know that Norse will lose to a dwarf team. Just... pondering.)”
