I'txee B'tzee Teen'ee Xween'es - Slann team blog
Posted: Mon Nov 23, 2009 3:03 am
Eager to try out a Slann team I have started up the IBTX in our local league. This is a tale of their path to glory.
The league is small, but it's in it's second incarnation. We are learning from the mistakes of our first league and hoping to grow and expand. Right now the league is also composed of the following other teams:
-lizardmen
-high elves
-dark elves
-orcs
-nurgle
-necro (my second team)
-norse (this guy has not lost a game in over a year of steady play!)
My team started out with the following:
1 kroxigor - Hitzuhardd
2 lineman -Totolpaquage
3 lineman -Hurtzubadly
4 lineman -Cutzuzobadd
5 lineman -Nopaynogayn
6 lineman - Izuquittin
7 catcher - Plizznohittme
8 catcher -Calulaterr
9 catcher -Ucantcachmi
10 blitzer -Captain Titzinazz
11 blitzer -Cualhduthi
2 x RR
I sacraficed a RR to be able to get the second blitzer, but I really wanted to try these guys out, to see if they were as much of a waste as people were saying. I also figured that one was not enough to do their job, that a second was required.
We have a special rule in our league for the MVP. The top three SPP earners in the game are nominated for the MVP, in the event that there is less than three SPP earners, then the team captain has to be one of the nominated and then any others are chosen by the coach. To give the blitzers the assist in gaining skills I made one of them the team captain.
GAME ONE - I'txee B'tzee Teen'ee Xween'es vs. The GWARriors (orcs) - Result - Win - 2-0
The game started off with the IBTX receiving the ball. The catchers Plizznohittme and Calulaterr ran up the field, which Ucantcachmi stayed bac k to retrieve the kick off. The first couple of turns turned out pretty well with the catchers making their way up and Ucantcachmi nearing the LOS to choose whether to pass or run. Hitzuhardd the krox had an opportunity to open a hole by attacking a black orc (who consequently had Block), and rolled a double chop block. The loner roll failed and the krox went down.
The newly freed black orc ran over to attack the ball carrier Ucantcatchmi and knocked him out cold. More orc blocking also put the captain Titzanass in the KOd box as well. The orc thrower put a TZ on the ball in an effort to take an early orc lead.
Plizznohittme dodged away from a defneding orc to try to retrieve the ball, failed and was badly hurt for the rest of the game. Wow. Quick Turn.
The orcs continued their beating and by the end of the turn they had possession of the ball and the whole slann team was on their backs, and with another KOd linemen the I'txee B'tzee Teen'ee Xween'es were down three players - and it was only the fourth turn! this was going to be a LOOOONG game!
The slann got up and started exerting TZs where they could and leaping out to start planning a desperate attempt to get the ball back.
Hitzuhardd the krox refused to get up, still sulking over his failure.
the orcs tightnede up their cage and were within scoring position when Totolpaquage the lineman made a desperate leap, dodge and 2 GFI blitz for one dice which resulted in a POW on the ball carrier and the ball was loose! Huzzah! The mad scrum ensued and an orc thrower was pushed into the crowds who hurt him for the rest of the game and a black orc was badly hurt by the krox.
The scrum took us to the end of the half and miraculously the slann had managed to stall the orc offensive and it was still a tie game! The rolls for KOs brought two of my three back, and so I was at a one man disadvantage - my eight to his nine. but now I was kicking to him. Ug...
The kick was nice and deep and as the orcs ran back to the ball they did not want to use the GIs needed to attempt to pick it up. I seized the opportunity by leaping Captain Titzanazz and the remaining catcher over the LOS beelining for the orcs. Fortune favours the bold and the orcs failed to pick up the ball and with a quick assist from a catcher and a blitz from the captain, Calulatter managed to pick up the ball and score a quick TD.
Kick off to the orcs again resulted in an almost identical experience to the first - kick landed in the same spot - same players made it over the LOS and with a quick tussle, Calulatter had the ball and the second Slann TD was scored
The orcs were getting angry and in th enext drive they managed ot knock out two more slann and badly hurt another, but in the end it was too little too late, and game ended with a win for the slann.
The MVP went to the krox, Hitzuhardd, so he and the catcher Calulatter managed to get skills. the krox got Guard and the catcher took Dodge. I received 50K for the winnings and immediately bought an apothecary (which after four games has never been used!)
That is all for now - I will type in the other games when more time allows.
