Congrats
@Halub !!! It was a good match, even though I lost 2-4. I was hoping I could turn that into a 3-3 draw, but the dice were clearly in your favor, from turn 1 to turn 16. There's nothing I can do if Nuffle wants me to lose, and I think I played correctly most of the game, and didn't make much mistakes. I could probably have tried to disengage more aggressivily in the first few turns, but the double Both Down on a blitz screwed me (I was hoping to at least push and remove tackle zones from my players).
Then, you killed my Thrower Leader, and thank god Apo saved him and he was up for next drive.
Then, you permanently injured a Lineman with 5 SPPs but -1 MA. Ok, I can live with that.
Then, you killed another Lineman.
Then, you permanently injured my Kicker (-1 AG).
Bloodweiser Babes were totally useless. You kept killing or premanently injuring my players. No KO, or even Badly Hurt.
I'm glad I could do a one-turner and end the first drive 1-2 (in your favor). Scoring fast the equalizer in two turns put pressure on you (now 2-2!!!), but you had number advantage. I had ABSOLUTELY NO player to protect my Precious Fives (2 dancers, 2 catchers and thrower), so I had to setup quite away from the LoS.
At one point, I managed to steal the ball, and was hopeful I could score a winning goal. It even was in the hand of my Blodge Catcher with Side Step, right next to my Dancer with Side Step. I really thought they would be fine, and escape your attacks. I even had a player to whom I could hand the ball and run to safety on my turn. But... no. Nuffle blessed you with a flurry of POWs that would make anyone jealous. 3-2 for you.
I now had to score the equalizer... you rolled dice for Dodge and GFIs, and you forced me to make a risky play to free the ball carrier. Well, by risky I mean a single 3+ Dodge with a skilled dancer. Of course, it failed.
That's when you decided stealing the ball again was not enough to humiliate me with a 4-2 win, but you also had to continue rolling ridiculous dice, and my Catcher with Block and Side Step suffered a permanent injury (-1 MA).
Oh, well. I'll be playing with 5 Journeymen next game. One will obviously get MVP... Just like today. I had a single Journeyman, and he's the guy who got MVP.
For the record, I failed 75% of the 8 rolls to escape Shadowing. And that's with players that ALL had more MA than your Assassin. What was I saying about Nuffle taking sides?
I was full of hope after my last game against the Norse, winning 5-0 and taking the pole position on the Leaderboard. Now, I'm more and more convinced I'll just delete this team...
Anyway, thanks for the game. You played well, I think I played well also, and I can't be mad at me or at you. I wish Nuffle would have been a bit more fair, but that doesn't mean I would have win. Only that I would have had a better chance of not being humiliated by the dice.
I wish you well for the rest of the season.
