The Teenager From Mars, my Necromantic team, are no exception to the rule. The Teenagers are currently in their second season with the OWFuL league, one of the local table top leagues from the Chicago Battle Bunker. The league is made up of a bunch of great coaches - both in skill and personality.
Let's back up a little bit.
Last year, the Teenagers had a wonderful season. Stat increases a plenty.. +AG Ghoul (AG4), +MA Werewolf (MA9), +ST Wight (ST4).. it was wonderful! The team was lucky enough to make it all the way to the league championship game. They weren't as lucky DURING the championship match as they were up to the match though. A hard fought game still left them short against Valdric and his Chaos Pact team. All in all - 2nd place overall for the season was wonderful.
Which brings us to this year...
I understand the Blood Bowl is a dice game, if you don't know that - talk to DarkOrk20 and he will remind you. This season has been very frustrating for the Teenagers through just about all 5 weeks of this current season. Seems like my team just can't get their play together.. both because they can't do anything right and because their opponents CAN.
SEASON 2 Recap
W1 - played Chaos, couldn't seem to pick up the ball for most of the match. Had a Ghoul RIP, that was fun.
W2 - BYE week, luckily I had enough winnings from week 1 and my bye week to replace the missing Ghoul and buy an extra Zombie.. prepared for week 3.
W3 - played Wood Elves, lucky for me the coach isn't very proficient for his team. I certainly didn't play well, but was lucky to pull off a 2-0 win although I was out CAS'd (thank Nuffle for regenerate)
W4 - played a very tough Orc team. Don't have much good to say about this match. Drove 1.5hours round trip, spent 2 hours playing the match.. outcome: just an MVP.
W5 - BLOOD everywhere. Week 5 took place last night and is still very fresh in mind. I played against a Chaos Dwarf coach and nuffle smite me again.
The match started off with a rock being hurled in from the crowd.. luckily I had just as many pissed off fans as the other team. The rock from the Teenagers fans struck at Bull Centaur in the face - injuring it for the game! Not even the Apothecary could help bring it back to the back.. as she rolled a 1! The fans from the Little Green Men stunned a Wight.
The game seemed to go on like this though.. The CDwarves hurt one Werewolf who couldn't regen his injury, and KILLED the other Wolf on the team (another failed regen)! In addition to those two important injuries.. the Green Men also kept possession of the ball for the majority of the match!
Wilhelm Chaney did manage to kill the other Centaur on the pitch, and since the team apothecary was too busy trying to revive the first from the opening kick off - this one was raised by the Teenagers Necromancer and has now become part of the team! (Welcome to the squad, Bull Centaur #15.. too bad you didn't have a name haha ) This heroic act was a bit too late in the match to really help out.
The current season has been rough so far. The likelihood that the TFM will make it into the playoffs this season is fairly slim. They will need Coach Kaline to find a new way to motivate this undead horde if they stand a chance! But like I said before.. Blood Bowl isn't for the faint of heart - and I'm not ready to quit on them yet.
