I have been playing in the MBBL (BB by email) for a while and enjoy it more than I thought I ever would. I am now up to 5 teams but can't quite find the all the ones that fit me. The team I like are my ogres (super fun and frustrating...fighting to get back to .500), my high elves (I like to pass so they make me happy and have a descent record), underworld (have tied 5 of 7 games and am really enjoying them), and goblins (just started and haven't really figured them out but have been fun so far).
Now I am trying to find a 5th team that I like and can win with (sometimes at least!). I have gone through amazons, chaos pact, lizardmen, and chaos dwarfs. Either I didn't enjoy them or I sucked with them. I have also figured out that I suck with bashy teams...too many years of stunty and used to running away I guess.
So, now my latest team is wood elves. I like to pass, I seem to do okay with squishy players (snots and gobbos)...they seemed worth a try. I decided to start a blog of them as I am hoping to stick it out with them longer than I have the others...of course this blog could switch to the next team I pick if the woodies don't cut it.
The Eagles roster has been uploaded and sports 2 rerolls, a wardancer, a catcher, a treeman and 8 lineman. I really wanted a treeman so I took him even if not the advised choice. I like mixed race teams and so I maxed out on non-elves . I read smurf's no-reroll wood elves play book and decided that was not for me...I had trouble just having 2...I like some chance to recover from poor rolling or poor decisions on my part...
The Eagles have been challenged by a TR149 chaos team. Probably not the best choice for a first game but I accepted...I have no attachment to any of the models yet and his team didn't look exceptionally bashy...other than being chaos of course. I will be mulling inducements and hopefully posting about my fantastic victory or horrible defeat (due to the dice of course!) in the near future.
