F13 Season 9 Day 6

[IainC]

I moved the day on, I don't have time to update the post with fixtures and stuff right now but get your games done by Sunday 12th October please.

Edited for not being super busy any more!

Here are the results of Day 5.



And the fixtures for day 6



With only two matches left, the divisions look like this.



In Division 1 Drogg needs a win to make that fourth spot more secure but Satael and Teleku can both beat him to the finish - those two play each other in this match day and whoever wins will still be in the race for fourth. A draw in that match would pretty much guarantee that the top four won't change.

Division 2 has a bit more potential for drama. While it looks unlikely that Avaia won't finish top, or that both Ingmar and Megrim won't also qualify, there is room for upset. Megrim is up against the undefeated Avaia and Ingmar plays Proudft. If Ingmar and Megrim both lose then there will be three coaches in joint second going into the last day. If Lamaros beats Wolven (which I would say is likely but not a slam dunk) then he will take second place and there could be three coaches in joint 3rd instead. A win for me will put me just a single point behind that scrum and things could go to the wire for the last day. Having said all that my prediction is that Ingmar will win, Megrim will lose or draw and Lamaros will win. That means Ingmar will have a fairly safe second place, Lamaros would be third and Megrim will either be tied or one point behind in fourth.

SirT!

Will need to be tonight or tomorrow night, else I'm away on holiday.

Invited you as a friend on steam.

[Sir T]

i'll ba at my computer most of tomorrow so name your time

[Ulysees]

Ruvaldt how is your weekend looking? I am going to be busy Saturday night but might have a window around 9PM UK time which I believe would be around 5PM your time, apart from day to day stuff my Sunday is looking free at the moment if Saturday is bad for you.

[Monty]

Teleku - I am away this weekend, but should be available Sunday evening (UK time), or Monday evening.

Monty/snuffleorc

[Teleku]

Thats fine.  If you are UK time then I'm sure it wont be hard for us to get a game in one of the upcoming week nights.  Monday should be ok, Tuesday less so.

[eldaec]

i'll ba at my computer most of tomorrow so name your time

Will be online in about an hour.

Was dicier than the scoreline suggests after an early GR injury burnt up the apothecary, but in the end the only permanent injury was to my kicker.

Block
Rats : 15/26
Elfs : 15/25

Interesting stats in that they show SirT wasn't falling into the trap of playing elfs/rats like Chaos (which people often do), and I suspect that is why they ended up getting more critical blocks and injury rolls on my GRs.


I won't be able to play the last game until Monday 20th, as I'm away from tomorrow.

Gutted 0 - The Ex-Presidents 3

Surprisingly bloodless match that Ruvaldt never lost of control of even though his injury dice deserted him thank god he got a number of KO's to have a numbers advantage through the match and I didn't have enough block in my team to stand up enough in an outright bash match, it's surprising how effect dodge was at keeping his chaos warriors standing. I had 400k for inducements and took a wizard, a re-roll, an apothecary and a babe and was pretty sure the match was going to be decided by the wizard. If the lighning bolt removed MIllard Filmore I was going to win, if not then I'd lose.

I won the toss and elected to receive, my first block injured an unskilled beastman so a promising start but no other harm was inflicted and I caged up in the centre and shot my wizards lightning bolt in Millard Filmores direction, unfortunately for me it was only a knockdown and within 4 turns my cage was broken but I had opened a space on the sideline to squeeze along and if I made a dodge then I would be in score range next turn. Unfortunately I had already blown that turns re-roll and managed to fail the dodge and Ruvaldt stole the ball and ran into a corner and nothing I did could work anyone in range to get the ball back so Ruivaldt scored on turn 8 to take a 1-0 lead.

Second half and the sides are equal until a rock from the crowd puts one of my chaos warriors in the KO box and so Ruvaldt steams down my weakest flank and this time I am able to put pressure on him so he takes an early score giving me 4 turns to score a consolation. I can't manage it though and I don't even remember how I managed to screw up and give away the 3rd touchdown but I was never really in this match as I didn't get to follow my game plan of can opening his chaos warriors with my minotaur and focusing on removing his claw beastmen as soon as possible. I did manage to kill a beastman on the last turn of the match that was apoth'd to a badly hurt so no harm done to either team as we move onto the last day of the regular season.

Updated OP with pictures and trenchant commentary.

The SirT v Ramas game has been validated, I don't see a BBManager upload for the Ulysees, Ruvaldt game though.

Hola Wolven, what time zone are you? I'm in Australia so this is likely a weekend match I would say.

[drogg]

hi monty!

this weekend has been hectic but i should be able to make time this week.  GMT-8/PST, available after 6 PM generally or can take a lunch break when it's convenient for you during the day.

[Wolvens Requiem]

Hola Wolven, what time zone are you? I'm in Australia so this is likely a weekend match I would say.

I am GMT, but I am not working for the next few days so can easily try to meet you at a time of your convenience, if you wanted to try a weekday match.

[lamaros]

That may very well work. How does 13 hours from the time of this post sound? Either today or tomorrow?

[IainC]

Rats played Orcs and the result was a close game that was saved by the magical powers of being able to string a few D6 rolls together.

Rats received and made a running play over about three turns that ended in a score for them. It also took a Black Orc off the pitch which was nice. The Orcs pushed back but couldn't equalise before half time. There was a sequence of failed Orc catches and botched Skaven pickups that contributed to that too.

in the second half, the Orcs tried to cage up and push through the lines but got tangled up in Stormvermin and Rat Ogres. The ball was loose on and off for a while as Orcs and Rats took turns in picking it up and getting knocked over again. Eventually the ball went out of bounds and the crowd threw it back in to the middle of the Skaven half, my Sure hands Thrower scampered over and fluffed the pickup then an Orc  got to it and made the GfI required to even the score with three turns left. The Skaven went for some bullshit and pushed a lot of rats downfield hoping that there might be a throwing play, the Orcs marked them but I managed to make a run and handoff to a marked Gutter Runner who then easily dodged away to put the Skaven ahead again with one turn each remaining. The Orcs pushed some Skaven around, the Skaven blitzed a Black Orc in retaliation and that was that.

Ironically my best game this season... Which shows how awful this season has been for me :(

[Monty]

Teleku - As we failed to meet up yesterday (Monday) evening, how does Wednesday evening sound? Are you UK based too?

Drogg - are you confused as to match-ups or is it me?

You are playing Drogg in this match-day, Teleku is playing Satael.

[Teleku]

So Satael, when do you want to play?   

[Monty]

hi monty!

this weekend has been hectic but i should be able to make time this week.  GMT-8/PST, available after 6 PM generally or can take a lunch break when it's convenient for you during the day.

Drogg - as I was confuzzled and am playing you, let's see what we can sort.

I am free this evening (Tuesday) from 18:00 to 21:00 UK time (GMT), and the same tomorrow (Wednesday) and Friday.
As you are 8 hours behind, I may be able to squeeze in a game early Thursday  (say 07:30 UK time .. so 23:30 Wednesday your time) if that suits you better. I can alternatively do this Friday same time.
I am away this weekend.

[satael]

So Satael, when do you want to play?   

I'm euro so it's probably going to be the weekend (I have it pretty much free).

[Wolvens Requiem]

That may very well work. How does 13 hours from the time of this post sound? Either today or tomorrow?

Ack sorry didn't see this.

I'll be online in 8 hours if you are available. If not I can do the same the day after.

[Teleku]

So Satael, when do you want to play?   

I'm euro so it's probably going to be the weekend (I have it pretty much free).

I'm a non-Euro living in this strange land, so it should actually be pretty easy.  I'm busy tonight, but thursday night should be good if you are available.

[lamaros]

What is your steam name wolvens? I can't see yea.

[Wolvens Requiem]

Wolvens Requiem, I sent you a friend request but didn't get a response yet.

[Teleku]

When the fuck did steam implement the rule where you had to be friends with somebody before being able to message them?  Before, if you were just in the same group, you could message each other.  It’s really messing up communications this season.
