Yeah, this is what everyone hopes for. A first round match vs. Purple Chest and getting 250k in inducements \o/
Actually, it was rather fun and I thought I played decently. PC managed to make all the crucial rolls though he did burn through his rerolls both halves. For myself, it wasn't too bad except for two crucial points:
1st half - used wizard to fireball a clump of 4 or 5 players including the ballcarrier but only got 1 of them. And it wasn't the ballcarrier. A lightning bolt wasn't really an option with so many bodies in the way.
2nd half - I moved my catcher too far forward but had a chance to recover. Just needed to make a 3+ dodge but failed both rolls. Good ole 1/9 strikes again.
My first half attempt at the 1TTD ended when I used a reroll to turn a pow into a push, then forgot to set up an assist and through a 1 die skull. The second half attempt worked better, I got all the pushes I could hope for. I made the first 2 dodges, but failed the first gfi. I didn't have a reroll at that point, though I still had the dodge reroll in my pocket. So if I'd had a reroll for the gfi, I might have scored. I'm pretty happy that I got all the pushing down at least. I might be able to pull this off in the near future.
Some other notes:
- Money was crap. Even PC's money rolls were 1, 1.
- My only foul got tossed on the first try. I did get a KO out of it though
- 2 Babes worked very well, though I did roll two 1s in about 5 or 6 rolls. But if I hadn't had 2 of them, I would have had at least 1 more failed return.
- I didn't use my apothecary on the BH because it was just a lineman. I never needed the apo again. PC did call his apothecary into action to turn Muggins' RIP into a Gouged Eye. Naturally Piledriver got the MVP for that hit \o/
- In spite of the wizard not doing as much as I would have liked, I really think the wizard and babes are two of the best ROI inducements. I almost took a wandering apo and I'm glad I didn't now.
Thanks for the game, PC and good luck the rest of the way. Hope the rest of your shows go well, too.”
“I can't add much to a very fair write up. The key dice fell my way, and while i got short on ORcs and charged through my rerolls, the positional advantage of the str and guard did me well.
First half was a reasonably trouble free drive, with the wiz the big win on the dice.
Second half was more frantic, presented the ball I never comfortably controled the field and had to run a chancey break away play for 2-0.
We almost saw a classy One Turn attempt go in for a TV finish, but in the end too many dice were needed without reroll cover and it failed at the line on a GFI.
A game played in good humour and fine spirits, despite the less than even feeling dice.”
