I too am lovin' having BB at my finger tips night and day.
And since the patches the AI seems to be getting a little better - although it can only score with Skaven or Woodies (Having said that a Dwarf team scored against me yesterday)
Think I must have played over 100 games now. So far i've drawn 1 and lost 1.
The lose was skaven Vs Skaven only second game and I only had 4 players left by the end - everything went wrong! LOL....
Can even create a 'Killer' team against the AI - as don't feel so guility!
Reason:''
Spike Cup Reading 07 -- Runner Up, DE's. Damn you Lycos!
Conflict south 07 - Winner, Dark Elves.
Brighton BB league runner up 07 - DE's.
Brighton BB league runner up 06 - Dwarves
I was aplaying a game with my Chaos team earlier. The dumb Ai, playing Wood Elves, gave up an almost certain TD to hit a guy with 1 die...
I'd been pushing to go 2-0 up at the end of the first half, and the AI got a couple of lucky rolls which resulted in the ball bouncing to an Elf, with a WD free downfield...a couple of 2+s and it was 1-1 (turn ...but it decided it didn't want to do that for some reason...
Ended up winning 2-0. I couldn't believe my eyes though.

had a few games at the weekend with my Chaos team.
against a TV1.97M orc team with Varag and a TV2.34M Lizardman team with Slibili
managed to win both by a combined 7-0 scoreline and a 16-1 Casualty line. I killed both Stars.
then I played against a TV2.4M Chaos team with Grashnak and despite winning 2-0 I lost the casualty battle 5-2 when one of my star CW's was cas'd in the first block, I knew I was in for a tough time. So I apo'd him to keep the line strong, next Block another CW is SI'd.... it went from there...

I damn nearly lost with my Dark Elves against Skaven yesterday...Gutter Runner tricks put the AI up 2-1 turn 4-ish second half. Unable to hurt the rats I went hell for leather for an equaliser, which I made quite easily...and then I got a Blitz and got a Runner under the ball deep in the Rat's half, dumped off to a nearby Blitzer when he got hit and scored for the win.
I'm still not sure DEs fit me very well - not until they're better equipped for bashing anyway - but they can pull off some ridiculous stuff, without feeling so horribly broken as Wood Elves do (suffered badly at the hands of a Wood Elf team in the last game of one of my leagues. Were I to play the team again I'd be starting at TV 860. When even Wood Elves kick the snot out of your team it's time to give up. My Humans may as well not have been wearing armour the last three games, and twice I've missed key 1-in-9s for scores which have been turned around into opposing scores.)

More of a Battleaxe/warhammer/chainsaw man than rapiers and all that nonsense.
The team is looking pretty good though...three Blodging Blitzers (the other got Tackle straight off), a Lino with +MA AND +AG, both Runners have NoS and I think I gave one catch, and I have a lino with Guard. Saving up for the first Witch now.

Had my first foray online today. Humans Vs a Lizard team and lost 2 -0 due to a mix of poor decisions, such as thinking I'd blocked with a lineman so settling for pushed back rather than both down, as I clicked noticed it was a blitzer. Then the dice rolls were worse then my decisions. Kick off went out so handed to Saurus, he then slowly drove down field. Killing a blitzer on the way. Every effort to break the cage seemed to end with "attacker down" and attacking skinks hardly a defender down result. 1-0 half time.
Second half made room wide but my thrower failed pick ups 3 turns in a row, by the time he held it he was swamped, shortly after mashed and skink nips in 2-0 with four turns left. He forms deep and tight so I decide to cut my losses and try boosting SPPs for next time, thrower fails pick up, next turn, catcher fails to catch, third turn thrower makes good pass caught, next turn fumble. So as well as losing comfortably I only get 1SPP for the game (MVP to a catcher) and a dead blitzer... Ouch
My Chaos team grows ever more revolting...up to a TV of around 2400. Have two +ST Beasts, one of whom also has +MA. My star player is my Quarterbeast...Sure Hands, Extra Arm, Kick Off Return, +1MA, Pass. Just played against a Wood Elf team...cleared the pitch twice and ended up with ten casualties
I don't even have full positionals...I've not bothered with the 4th Warrior because I've so many Beastmen that are doing very nicely and my 3 Warriors have only got 6 skills between them, not to mention that it's the Warriors I've had die on me.
