Presumably us BB plebs don't have the graphics packs to display the new teams.

I should have time for a match after 9 if anyone's interested. Still have Roman to play, and S2B if he's jumping in on it.

I may be at the top of the league, but it's not been easy by any stretch. Just surviving against Joose was a struggle, and forcing past P-nut's defence was pretty tough - I only got one conventional TD, the other three were lucky breaks (although in that time I might well have scored another normally).

Dubstep Demons Vs Volga Wolfbaggers

After a lot of trouble with the Wolfbaggers getting to the venue (also known as connection issues), the fixture finally kicked off with the Demons receiving. Immediately caging the ball, the home team formed a solid attacking formation and spent most of the first half slowly grinding their way down their left flank, Dwarf style. The Wolfbaggers threw themselves at the pack until it was herded to the sideline and eventually, inevitably, the ball carrier was pushed off the pitch. Unable to extract enough players from the scrum on the opposite side of the pitch, a lone beastman can only put himself between him and the cage of Norsemen. Valiantly flattened, he fails to prevent the Demons conceding a touchdown just shy of the whistle.

In the second half things were looking like a mirror of the first. The Wolfbaggers were looking like they were going to be forced to the side of the pitch in a squabble, but when the Demons committed the Norse ball-carrier feinted to the other side and was escorted to the touchline by berserkers. With enough turns to score, the Demons make a final push to recover some goal difference. Not wanting to get tangled up again, the beastman ball-carrier makes an audacious long pass - right into his teammate's hands. Frantically backpedalling, the Wolfbaggers just catch the charging goat-man by the heel and set the ball loose. They fail to capitalise though, and with seconds to go a beastman swoops in to repeat the lucky pass to another unattended runner near the touchline. Alas, the ball goes long and lands in the crowd.

Demons 0 - Wolfbaggers 2

Beastmen without Block or rerolls do not a good team make. When you're a Chaos team trying to play a long passing game, you know you're in trouble.

Shouldn't be a problem, play whatever you fancy. Love the name by the way.

I like Chaos teams. They're a tough team to start off because they have a chronic lack of skills, but once you start leveling them up they're a real menace. I play one (Fighting Cephalopods) in the SP campaign. Apply to join the league and someone will accept you, or post your username and I'll add you as an admin.

Mad Dogs & Deadmen Vs The Darkhole Penetrators

the game started with the mad dogs kicking off into the deep end of the penetrators half, after a few heads where cracked the penetrators recovered the ball and moved it up to the scrimmage line, the teams first round ended with a chaos warrior killing one of the mad dogs ghouls.

outraged by there teammates death the mad dogs smashed a hole in the scrimmage and got a few zombies into the penetrators half and headed towards the beastman carrying the ball. The penetrators responded by knocking the mad dogs other ghoul out of the game leaving them without a good runner. after some more fist exchanging on the scrimmage line and one pissy minotaur throwing a tantrum on the floor one of the mad dogs zombies knocked down the ball carrier and managed to pick it up.

Unfortunately he must of been suprised by having actually got the ball and the Penetrators took him from behind recovering the ball and holding it till halftime

The second half saw the Penetrators push through the scrimmage and with a bit of luck recover the ball and get a few players onto the mad dogs side of the pitch. A mere few steps away from the touchdown line one of the mad dogs zombies tackled the ball carrier but the penetrators pushed him out of the way, recovered the ball and managed a touchdown.

With only a short time left on the clock the mad dogs focused on holding the ball and not letting the penetrators through. eventually when it was realised neither team would be able to score again both teams just tried to cause as much pain as possible.

Mad Dogs & Deadmen 0 - The Darkhole Penetrators 1

Virile Vanguard Vs Volga Wolfbaggers

Today the league welcomed its first Elf team, the Virile Vanguard and hosting the reception were the Volga Wolfbaggers. Anticipation was high, as the league has yet to see a passing team in action, and lets face it everyone loves to see Elves get stomped. The first half started with the now familiar sight of the Wolfbagger Berserkers blitzing deep into the opposing half and snagging a touchdown just minutes into the game. Rallying slightly, the Vanguard managed to slow the Norse progress, but by the end of the half they were 2-0 down.
Coach Buzzles' half time pep talk steeled the Elves, and the Wolfbaggers struggled to contain the fast moving attackers. Unfortunately, attrition started to wear the Vanguard down, and despite a lot of possession they lost the ball after falling to only six players on the pitch. Still harrying the Wolfbaggers, the Vanguard almost kept a clean sheet for the second half, but a last second sprint after a lucky pickup by one of the Wolfbagger Werewolves resulted in a third touchdown. After the match Coach Dogpants of the Wolfbaggers played down the victory, stating that very soon the Elves could become a real problem for the other teams unless Da Big Fellas get in there and eat them quickly.

Vanguard 0 - Wolfbaggers 3

Either the Wolfbaggers have fists of iron, or my elves have faces of butter. Having half the team KO'd and most of players who were left on the field having a little lie down makes it rather difficult to stop charges :cry:

It was a good match though and I'm up for more of my elves being pounded into the ground tonight if people can play.

I think it was a bit of both. Elves aren't all that weak, they have the same fight stats as humans, but they lack fighting skills and a Big Guy. Norse, by comparison, have Block almost across the board and some tough centre-line players.

yeah, statistics wise elves are not *that* weak. I always find myself with half a team by the end of the game when playing with mine too though.

I think it might be partially to do with generally being on the receiving end of fights.
