An attempt (perhaps a daft one) to have all my teams in ranked as... Orcs. Boring? Yeah. But I have been most successful (ok, I've been less crap) with Orcs after seeing every other race get splattered and battered on their way to retirement. So here is another team, based around the Rolling Stones and their various members, songs and events. Why I chose a goblin instead of a Lineman I have absolutely no idea. With no Apothecary this team's future is based on getting a decent (or at least not disastrous) start. We'll see. Game 1: Vs a great sport and some soft hitting Ogres that found Armour tough to break got me the break I need (and not the breaks I was dreading). An apo, a skill, and a few guys set up for a skill roll. Game 2: Diceraped the opponent. I just played things by the numbers - 2 dice blocks, occasional 1 dice blocks. Nothing failed. Opponent had rare success with blocks, some success with dodging (AG4 has to be good for something) but otherwise his armour folded like paper. Nasty :( Game 3: I played things by the numbers - looked good on the luck score but most of my blocks were 2 dice and didn't fail much. Didn't attempt anything other than one hand and one GFI off that needed normal dice (block rest of time) so it seems I was luckier :) Helps that opponent rolled a pile o double skulls as well :S Game 4: Weird. Very Weird. PLayed a guy with no rerolls who had the most successful series of -2 Dice Blocks I have ever come across. All game he rolled 'em, getting pows apart from a couple. An intercepted pass (8+ needed) stopped me getting a 4th. Game 5: Fucked up the ass so badly I'm not sure when it's safe to sit down. Never even got going - got the ball about 3 squares over the half way line and outnumbered from turn 2. Awful, and reminds me why this client is so bad with the one sided rubbish. Game 6: Vs Vamps, and I got lucky - their armour crumpled like paper, even so I managed to make hard work of scoring vs half as many players. Opponent deserved at least a draw, but after the last game, I figure I deserve a little luck. I got some :) Game 7; Vs a foul fixated Khemri. Things went so right for them it was a relief when the game ended. Utter toss. Oh, I won, but when the team has -40 TS for next game, you kinda figure a loss and not losing so many players might have been better. Oh well. Game 8: Against an even more depleted team, managed to scrape a 2-1 win when the opponents' dice went nuts/impossible. Luck score was screwed up - should have been other way round in my humble opinion. Still, got players back, got the win, got a BOB, two skills, can't be bad. Game 9: First game in over 2 years, vs a depleted Lizardman side. Easy pickings. Right? Ah... not so. Whilst I had great luck in the first few turns of half one, KOing guys and BH a few skinks, the Lizzies gave as good as I did, and score helf to 1-0. I couldn't honestly score any other way. 2nd half a touchback gave the Lizards the ball, a bit of luck with the hand off, and a score. What the? Even the winning score needed luck on a 2nd gfi. In the 2nd half the Lizards outblocked me, but as per all game, couldn't break armour. Myost of my blocks by that time were pushes, even the 3 dice ones. Hard fought win, orcs out of practise would have been beaten by a full roster, am sure of it.
