Speaking of that, I'm tired of hearing the argument of how teams should be built. If we keep pumping out the same cookie cutter teams, this game is going to die a very boring death. I will take tackle over mighty blow nine times out of ten, because it's more useful when playing teams which may have dodge.
"What do I care? I only play bash teams."
Sure you do. But what is it every bash team lusts after? A double roll so they may give a vital player blodge, making them that much more difficult to take down. With tackle you remove part of this threat, as well as making any coach think twice about having to make a dodge roll to get away from the player with tackle.
Create the team the way you enjoy playing, not the way all these chowder-heads tell you it should be.
Now, back to the game...
I took away their early attempt to score, and even managed to pop the ball loose, but could not cover the ball as the elves came in and recollected it. The elves dodged into scoring distance, and even with a blitz, reroll, and a successful lightning bolt, could not stop their witch elf from running in the late TD. On my last turn of the half I crippled Harold Black, all in an attempt to GFI for a meaningless pass.
In three minutes this entire match had gone to shit.
The rest of this match was me, losing my nerve, and making poor plays. We've all been there, and once frustrations set in, you've defeated yourself. My last chance long shot to recover the ball and score crashed and burned when a 2d blitz came up "Push Back" and "Skull." All I could do was position my team to try and prevent the elves from going coast-to-coast on their last turn, so I started hitting their remaining players, including a chainsaw block against legend Young Martius. I didn't mean to kill him, I just couldn't have an AG5 player standing within hand-off distance of the ball. That basic strategy against elves: control who they can get the ball to.
Not happy at all about how this match turned out. This will serve as a reminder about keeping a level head when things go horrifically wrong.
This last part is for harvestmouse because I know he likes to read match reports.
Interesting how both coaches feel that the dice were against them in a match which played out pretty evenly.”
