Blood Bowl Match report: Only Fangs versus Hashut's Homeboys

 Time for the second game in a row against short legged armoured tin cans, so hopefully my Claws will perform better this game round.

 

Facing the Chaos Dwarf team in our league, who had one game more under the belt but a CTV of 100 less, Only Fangs took to the pitch today as such.

 

Now, his team also had a Minotaur, but more importantly his four Iron-hard Skin blockers all had Guard, so the middle section of the field would be a grinder, and one I was planning to avoid, hopefully dismantling the team peacemeal by focussing on the Bull Centaurs and Hobgoblins to take out his scoring potential.  Or at least, that is the game plan. 

 

Now, he had spend his inducements on 4 cheerleaders, a team mascot, a weather mage and 3 Prayers to Nuffle, whom would allow him to throw a rock, have his top blocker up to AV11 and gave Peachgardens greasy cleats meaning she would be at minus one movement for the game.  Not the most terrible of results I must say.

 

As both teams lined up for a first half, it would soon become apparent that the claws where once again having an off day, passing through armour only twice during the game for a stunned and a KO result... yeah, great investment that has been in the past two games where they where skilled up for...

 

This all resulted in a long, drawn out first half where for most of the time, nothing seem to happen.  Blockers on both side knocked each other over, drawing the speed out of the game, but also failing to do any serious damage.

 

Until in turn 6 his Minotaur broke the armour of Kleio Valentien, badly hurting her and sending her to the casualties box as a result.

 

This opened a hole in the defensive line, and one of his Bull Centaurs managed to break through with the ball, scoring the 1-0 after a series of succesful rushes.

 

 

One blocker down as a result, my tackle Beastly Women had to take to the pitch, whom I had tried to keep safe for the future games against dodgy vampires and the likes.  We lined up in our Femdom formation, but he got a Charge on the kick-off table, and his Minotaur badly hurt Proxy Paige as a result of that.

 

Now two blockers down, crap, the girls knocked over the raging cow, and Raven Black, assisted by about half the team, fouled the big beast.  When the dust settled and the Chaos Dwarf apothecary had had a look at the beast... it was pronounced deceased as a stiletto of one of the ladies boots had perforated it's windpipe.

 

But the half ended after that, and Only Fangs was trailing still.

 

The second half told a likewise story, with the ladies keeping the ball in the team, using their slightly higher movement speed to pull his team slowly overstretched by going left to right and back behind their line.

  

But the an opening started to form, and my opponent hadn't expected that I would try that play.  Cat Coxx pushed over the hobgoblin next to her, in order to blitz into the end zone.  Raven Black then moved up with the ball, threw a perfect 6 pass, and Cat Coxx duly caught it right in the endzone, equalising the score on the board to 1-1 and 4 turns left for the Chaos Dwarfs.

 

The teams went to the line again, and Only Fangs went for a very deep, defensive positioning.  As my claws had done nearly nothing, I didn't want to go into the slugfest anymore as no way I would grab those three casualties for the bonus points. 

 

Instead, I kept the field boxed in, forcing him to have to make a series of dodges to get through.

 

And right at the end, due to Frenzy that pushed Sabrina Sabok past his Bull Centaur (I forgot to grab a re-roll here, I was fishing for a both down on the second roll, as we both had block and that would obstruct the Bull Centaur so he couldn't score anymore), and instead she ended in the crowd in return, with no consequences bar perhaps a finger stuck in front or aft.  It might come down to his final turn...

 

But the Bull Centaur would need to dodge three times, and then rush for 2 more, and at the second dodge he already failed.  I broke through his armour, but he was only stunned, oh what a poetic justice that would have been... 

 

But no problem, the game ended at 1 to 1, leaving me nicely in 6th and certainty of qualification, while the Chaos Dwarfs still have to look back for the upcoming snotling teams...

And for this game, the crowd elected none other then Veronica Rose as MVP, for her brave game of tying up his grinder block in the center all match long.

 

So, for the next game I'm down one inexperienced linewoman, who was fouled into a Miss next game at the end of the match, so that is okay for me.  This could have been far worse, especially as my claws kept failing spectacularly. 

 

League wise, I expect one of the two snotling teams to jump over me in the coming weeks, putting em still solid in 7th at that moment, and the second team of snotlings is coming up through the ranks at the moment.  I actually am aiming to qualify for the play-offs either as 8th in the ranking, which would knock these Chaos Dwarfs out, and get me a quarter final against the Wood Elves.  That would come down to opening round brutality on how much we can damage that team, OR qualify as 5th or 6th to be probably be put against the Dwarf team I faced last match, for a hopefully better performance of my Claws.

 

I'm just trying to avoid either the Skaven or the Necromantic Horror teams in those quarter finals, as they are both to fast or to solid for my poor T3 ladies team to handle...

 

But let's see how it goes next game!
