Da Avalanche 2 - 1 Ludovico Lizards

This evenings game between Anthony_Times' Lizardmen (Ludovico Lizards) and the Notorious_jtb's Orcs (Da Avalanche) was a close affair. The Orcs inducements, "That babe's got talent" and Ugroth Bolgrot (chainsaw fool) were instrumental in Da Avalanche's domination of the first half. The Lizards were down to seven players by the time Da Avalanche scored their first TD through Gothmog just before half time. However, the Lizards Ko'd players came back to even up the numbers for the second half.

The Ludovico Lizards responded quickly and turn 10 was crucial. Gothmog was Ko'd, Karggoz was badly hurt after being pushed into the crowd by Alex koxigor, and Bog ran in the equaliser. On the ensuing kick off the crowd through a rock and badly hurt Ahzgaz with a great shot. This left Da Avalanche with eight players against 11 lizards, the balance of power appeared to have swung decisively towards Ludovico Lizards. However, Nuffle had other plans. Both teams went through a series of turnovers, and crucially Alex remained bone headed for 3 turns allowing the orcs the space to make a surge downfield. Ultimately this was the difference maker and Bargoz was able to score the winner with two turns to go. The Lizards had one last chance to tie it up but a skink dropped a hand off mid way through the play bringing the game to an end.

After the game Da Avalanche purchased an apothecary.

Chill Masters 1 - 1 Hutta Harda

In the second game of the day the “Chill Masters” entertained the Orc team “Hutta Harda”. The Dark Elves attempted to play the same style against the Orcs that had worked so well against the Chaos Dwarves earlier. However, they were apparently tired after their earlier efforts. The “Chill Masters” completed no passes all game, caused no casualties and scored a single touchdown on their one possession on turn four of the first half. Then the Orcs took over. “Hutta Harda” did indeed start hitting harder. Nargolwing had his game ended right on the stroke of half time by a black orc (#3) and the line elf Doroth was also removed for the game on the opening kick off of the second half by an Orc blitzer (#8). The Orcs rolled their cage up the field and made good progress until Shakare smashed her way into the cage and put got close to the Orc thrower with the ball. This forced “Hutta Harda” to swing their cage to the outside, leaving their ball carrier in the open. Shakare swooped in and knocked the ball free. A huge scrum ensued with five orcs and three elves around the ball. When the ball stopped bouncing the line elf Nargir grabbed it and made a rush for daylight only to be tripped by a line orc. This allowed “Hutta Harda” to reform the cage and roll towards the endzone. The “Chill Masters” had one play left and Shakare took it upon herself to go past a black orc and a blitzer to get to the ball carrier. However when it looked like she might push the ball carrier into the crowd she collapsed to the ground with a pulled hamstring, and could only watch from the mud as the laughing orcs ran in their turn 16 equaliser. After the match the Orcs bought a sneaky goblin to improve their scoring whilst the Dark Elves made out like bandits with their 90,000 gps winnings and hired Morfinil, a new blitzer (using 10,ooo gp they had saved).

Chill Masters 3 - 1 Kiss My Flanks

Two games were played on the Opening day of the OGBL season. The Hot Chilly Chill Masters from the Tower of Chill (a Dark Elf team coached by The Notorious_JTB) played a double header at Centa stadium against the Chaos Dwarves "Kiss my Flanks" (coached by Dwarfrunner) and the Orc team "Hutta Harda" (coached by Cramy).

In their first game of the day the "Chill Masters", playing against "Kiss my Flanks", were inspired by the early death of a chaos dwarf blocker at the hands (or rather knife) of the Assassin Nargolwing, the completion of four early passes, and the injury and ejection of a pair hobgoblins. So it was no surprise when the line elf Nargir scored midway through the first half. However, greed was always an issue for the Dark Elf race and they allowed the nine remaining "Flankers" to equalise before half time as most of the Elves were attempting to chase the ball and get into position to score rather than defend their endzone. The second half was fairly even initially until turn 13, when the Chaos dwarves collapsed. In one turn they had a hobgoblin sent off, lost a Hobgoblin for the next game (courtsey of a block by Nazwaen) and conceded a TD to the majestic witch elf Shakare. "Kiss my Flanks" were shell shocked and down to seven players, they were powerless to prevent Shakare running in to score her second and the "Chill Masters" third to seal the victory. After the game both sides invested their winnings in an apothecary.

OGBL Launched

The Ottawa-Gatineau Bloodbowl collective is starting a new "open League" this fall/winter.

• The league will be run using the latest Living rule book (LRB5) available to download for free from Games Workshop's specialist games website http://www.specialist-games.com/bloodbowl/rulebook.asp
• Team creation and advancement will be as the rule book. I.e. you get 1,000,000 GPs to buy your team, it must start with 11 players, and you can chose whether or not to spend money on Fan Factor, rerolls etc.
• All the inducements, star players and special play cards are available for purchase on a game by game basis. A team may spend "real" GC on an inducement for a particular game if they want but the inducement NEVER becomes a permanent part of the roster.
• The league will use spiralling expenses as in the rulebook with a break point of 1,750,000 GPs and step size of 150,000 GPs.

League play

• There is no fixture list and coaches may play as many or as few games as they like subject to the following restrictions.
• No team may play more than two games per calendar month. Month one is October 2007.
• Each coach may run as many teams in the league as he/she would like.
• This means that part time players will not get left too far behind and be discouraged from coming to play after a break. It also allows people with too much time on their hands to play as many games as they want with multiple teams.
• Additionally, no team may play any other team more than twice until it has played ALL the other teams. This rule is in place to encourage people who are in the league to play as many different folk as possible. This rule only applies for the duration of an "open season" which will be probably less than 6 months.

League Standings

• There will be numerous standings recorded over the season and the LRB5 match record sheet should be filled in and gotten to someone with access to the spreadsheets for data entry as soon as possible after the game (please).
• The match record sheet may be downloaded here:http://www.specialist-games.com/assets/LRB5MatchSheet.pdf
• Standings Categories will include team rankings based on Team Value and Win % along with all the regular TD/CAS categories. Substantial player rankings will be recorded as well.

I look forward to seeing you on the Field!
