@nprofile…y5cy Thing is, it started so well! Or at least, didn't start badly 🙂 If I'd have converted some my early Pows into removals, I might have had a chance at winning. It's a silly game, and it gives great stories.

The Eagles got pumped 3-0 last night against an experienced Necromantic Horror team&coach. It started off going OK, as I was rolling hot block dice. Then the Yhetee KO'd himself a 2x Both Down, and didn't recover until turn 16. One Valkyrie Dodged herself into a KO. And it went downhill after that. After conceding the second TD in T12, I failed 3/4 KO recoveries even with a Keg to help, fielded 8 players, then got Blitzed on the kick off. #nufflessacredgame #goeagles

@npub1nxu…4hun @npub15nd…rcdv it was a one day event, so he was causing havoc with abandon! :) I won my first game, so came up against some really strong players who know what to do with the pig :( #pighate

Game 1, turn 4. Beer boar just injured a Khorne Bloodspawn with a foul. 😁 #bloodbowl

Little trip to IKEA (with obligatory meatballs), plus some paint pot holders from Etsy, and I’ve now got something resembling a painting station-cum-games room! #miniaturepainting #bloodbowl #tidyingshitup

The Eagles managed to grind out a 1-1 draw against a Nobility team tonight. Their skills (Wrestle, Fend, Stand Firm) are a direct counter to our Frenzy funsies, making it almost impossible to open gaps in their defence. Thankfully, massive angry Yhetees smashing people, and Beer Boars committing fouls everywhere gave us just enough space to run the equaliser in. The boar even managed to injure the linewoman that had the cheek to shove him into the crowd! #bloodbowl #nufflessacredgame #goeagles

Well that was a ridiculous game. Luck flip-flopped from one coach to the other. The Eagles got a slightly better deal, but only after some horrendous handling errors. Made some space, shielded the ball, drained the opponent’s luck, then finished with a sprint up the middle. Kanul the Valkyrie got the touchdown and MVP. Hlæja and Khus are sitting out the next game against lizards. 1-0 to the Eagles! #goeagles #bloodbowl #nuffleisaficklemaster

I'm going to my first Malle Mile festival tomorrow. https://mallelondon.com/the-mile/, "Where race code is dressy and the dress code is racey". Not really sure what to expect - I hope everyone's friendly as I'm going alone. #mallemile #mallelondon

Are there any good coach training resources out there. I've watched plenty of YT content, but clearly I'm not learning from it! :)

2024-05-22 09:36:08

My crappy wifi swallowed my late night rage post about how hard BloodBowl is, even with a Tier 1 team (Norse). I'm really struggling to improve past just getting the mechanics right, to getting the strategy right. I've got 3 more incredibly hard games left in the league (Norse, Khorne, Wood Elves). I can't get the team to attack decisively, and can only defend through attrition (so I end up losing players). I'm worried the game's not fun any more because I'm not improving. #bloodbowl #rant

A desperate tackle on the sideline frees the ball. It bounces five times before coming to rest in the arms of a Norse Valkyrie, and she’s away! Not much support, as the Nobility team rallies a defence.

Ferocious first quarter. Nobles have the ball and are pushing on their right. The Norse beer boar hurtled in to gore a downed player, and managed to kill him. Ref not happy, boar sent off.
