Carniflex and I played tonight, with Bleating Winning a tense match 1-0. It looked like it was going to be a tie for a while, but I got some good rolls in the second half to secure the win. I lost a rotter to death and another to injury. The necro team had a -ST injury to a zombie, and a -AV to another zombie as well. The other two injuries were just BHs or made their regen rolls.

I'm not sure what is going on this season, but we just had another match where I didn't lose Wrestlers 1 - 1 Power Team Volcano Match was painful. Minotaur with Claw and Morg making their way through my team until half the pitch turned from green to red. Thankfully the biggest injury was just Kane missing next game. Game started with me receiving and after a bad snot throw the ball was behind their line. Managed to stall it out till half time. MA receives and has a much better time walking down the field. Successful snot throw causes the draw. The last few turns were played out around the half way point, just biffing away at each other. I tried for a mirracle on the last turn and almost got it. Break tackle to clear another ogre, snot dodges to pick up the ball that is being watched, 3 red zones to the successful hand off, Ogre fails the throw :( Game uploaded and I remembered the stats this time.

The Minizilla's 2 - The Nifty Helmets 0
Gruntles damn minotaur tore my team to shreds, fortunately for me it was a strung out process and only 2 proper injuries with a Saurus out MNG and only my second skink death in 3 seasons which is quite amazing really considering how fragile they are.
I managed to pen Gruntle into his own half during the first half due a fuck up where he has a clear run down my left flank but instead chooses to attempt a dodge past a sknk that fails and I manage to KO his ball carrier and claw goat in the process but was rather alarmed with the success Gruntle was having at removing my skinks and with 2 turns of the match left and the ball free for pick up but my last skink having to survive 3 sets of blocks being thrown at him somehow it does survive and I score to take a 1 - 0 lead. I cock up slightly on the setup and leave 1 skink in blitz range after moving the rest of my team back and Gruntle duly injures the gift I have presented him, though I get to return the favour though gruntle saves the injured dude with an apoth (a decision he will regret later).
Second half I am down 1 Saurus but have 10 players on the pitch, despite scoring 4 KO's against Gruntle they all wake up so he is at full strength but I setup for a quick score and make the pickup and hand off to get set up. However this doesn't take into account the leaping goat that gets over my sideline cage to injure the ball carrier and put the ball out for a toss back. Luckily for me it's still deep in gruntles half and with some manouvering and making 3 dodges I get the ball back in hand and scurry into a corner to run time down. I score a second with 3 turns left and the rest of the match is only notable for me giving Gruntles star goat a -STR injury on a +STR goat.
Really good game tbh and if Gruntle hadn't screwed up the pathing in the first half I am not sure I would have been able to pull off the win. Not looking forward to meeting the Helmets in the future unless someone kill that damn Minotaur or he has a normal game instead of being on steroids!

The Minizilla's 2 - The Nifty Helmets 0 Welp, looks like this is turning into a rebuilding season for the Helmets after The Minizillas crushed them 2 to 0. The real loss to the Helmets was their +ST ball carrier, San-Gor whose natty locks were sheared away by the Saurus Chaqtla (who is credited with inflicting both of the Minizillas injuries this game) removing his exceptional strength. It was the huge fuckup involving San-Gor in the fist half that put the game out of the goats reach so maybe he needed to be humbled. Anyway we congratulate the Minizillas on another win in a division they continue to dominate and look forward to seeing what they do in the playoffs. Stats for avaia: Mr Big failed three wild animals (out of 16) and loner'd one die -- equivalent to Kroqpot-Hi (the Krox) who failed 2 bone-heads (out of 11 / a lower number because it was stunned 3 times) and loner'd one die also. They both managed an attacker down result (mr. Big's skull was chosen by the ui over a push when the clock ran out) though Kroqpot only managed one defender down (only 4 blocks thrown) where as mr. Big inflicted 3 injuries (and 9 knock-downs over 15 blocks). On the other hand, Kroqpot's guard was often useful while Mr. Big's tentacles failed to hold any skinks in place. The solitary (skink) death was credited to Frizzy Antlers.

I had some errands earlier today, but as I'm not doing anything until I go back to work Thursday, I should be pretty free.

Okay, shall we try for tomorrow then? I'm currently on the tail end of a all night Doctor Who/James Bond marathon and have hit the interesting point where all the details are blending together in a manner that makes almost perfect sense, so it is probably a time to call it a day... well, maybe just one more. Anyway, will add you to steam, but for tomorrow shall we aim for 6pm EST (that's 3pm for you right?) as a rough starting point?

Got the game in. It was a bit of a back and forth before the Orcs were able to miraculously sneak one over the line at the end of the first half. In the second half I delayed for the tie as I didn't trust my armor, or his STR advantage, to be able to either hold his team or get the ball back. Once I scored late in the second half, the Orcs got plenty of armor breaks (justifying the delaying tactics, in my mind) and could have scored if they had more time.

Was an interesting game, seeing how another coach plays in a totally different style.
I chose to receive with the aim of denying the elves a chance to score whilst beating them up. Terrible armour rolls denied any injuries and resulted I think in 1 KO in the first half! Still, despite a valiant defence, the Orcs made a steady push until an opening revealed itself and wasn't too difficult to get a turn 8 TD.
Second half resulted in the Elves managing to get the ball and running it close to my TD line early on. With a decent wide cage I had only a few chances to get the ball back, but instead of scoring he allowed me to beat up Elves finally scoring the injuries I wanted. Still, he didn't score until I forced the issue pretty much guaranteeing a draw. To my mind I'd have scored early and then tried to get the ball back off me, Elves being what they are it isn't difficult to score if the ball comes loose.
As it was, the injuries I gave allowed me to get the ball upfield, but not enough time to score left the promised draw. Little bit of a shame, would've liked to see a win from one of us.

Not a lot to say about this one; Stabby bought Ramtut, who clogged up the middle but didn't manage much else of use; so far this season star players have not really pulled their weight on either side of the matches I've played. He was ceremonially fouled out of the game on turn 15 after knocking himself over with wrestle. The fact that it rained the entire game really hurt Stabby compared to me, as he had fewer rerolls and nobody with Sure Hands yet - I think he failed upwards of 5 pickup rolls in the game, it was like playing Khemri. No permanent injuries, though one of his werewolves narrowly avoided death on turn 16 thanks to regen. Probably the other big factor was my zombies and FGs all had block (minus my kicker, who leveled and will be getting it) where his didn't, which led to an inevitable block success advantage for me. my development has been oddly even in general.
