Thanks for the game,
@Gilliatt...In the first half, you only spent your first reroll on turn 6 (by then, I already spend 2 out of 3), but it led to a terrible turnover on the next action. You lost control of the ball the turn before, however, and I think you have to consider how it is you got into that situation (than blame the dice for failing that 3+ dodge; anyway, you would not have been in a good position to protect the carrier if it worked... it was a matter of time).
Id' rather would have let the match go and kept looking foward, but i guess i need to clarify one "minor" point:
I didnt mean to blame the dice for losing, im rather sure i didnt. I complained about the poor block dice. Being frustrated i also felt the need to point out you powed my blodge Guard 3 out of 4 times (i think), which isnt a helpful comment either.
I also dont think the dice were horribly bad or anything, just not good enough block dice for the dwarfs to win their offense (at least not vs. a well developed Delf team with a decent coach). It happens, really nothing outrageous.
I went into the match looking for a tie. In case i wouldnt be able to advance my offense, which is what i expected, the plan was to keep the ball safe at all costs and, if possible, try to maximize blocks to hopefully make the defence more likely to succeed. Save wizard for defence and the 2nd half rerolls for the needed and important defensive GFI's (dwarfs often just need them especially vs. elfs when they couldnt win the block/ attrition game on offense).
Instead i tilted and and tried to force an unlikely score although all signs clearly didnt allow it. You are right about the RR decision. I should have RR as the ball was lost anyway, i knew instantly (i even threw away my matchplan and did put my wizard in and all i had to make that advance happen).
But it was a huge mistake trying to advance in the first place when the block dice simply didnt allow it. It lost the dwarfs the match and the rest is just minor details i guess.
To be honest: i wasnt even trying to defend. So you are right about poor defence. I was feeling so miserable that i hoped for a quick TD to skill my blitzer with a pass and be done with the match. It was very unlikely for the dwarfs to turnover the delfs anyway.
I think i had rather unfortunate rough seasons altogether and it snowballed very heavily - in the end making me play very poorly indeed. I decided to ride it out hoping for change, but that didnt happen. I have to force myself to keep on playing since MD2 to be honest (or half of last season even. Maybe i should have dropped out). So i threw away my matchplan and lost. I didnt expect that another bad season could make me feel so bad, i certainly dont want it to spoil the fun for the other coach.
I have to apologize for leaving chat (although i think i already did in chat), that's not how i handle the game normally! Also wanted to clarify i didnt blame the dice for losing (i rarely blame the dice for that). Well played, thanks for the match.
