I debated posting This game for a few days. I hope it doesn't look arrogant, but it was a high-quality ranked division match. Trevor_24 had many compliments for me for the way I played, and I felt he did a great job considering the hampering my "I Am the Greatest" Handicap gave him. I couldn't quite justify putting this on the great re-matches page, since it is a relatively high TR game, but it shows two things I try and point out all the time. Humans CAN play successfully at higher TRs, and I will accept virtually any offer (Trevor actually said his offer was a joke, and was surprised significantly when I accepted.
Again, not trying to brag, but I am a bit proud. (and will need a recovery game of some sort since I'll be fielding a positional on LOS next game) |

nice one mac, not many folk play those kind of matchups willingly!
I once played a TR200 Chaos Pact team with my TR100 Goblins (before handicaps), played like a madman but managed a 3-3 draw, mind you, the team was massacred!
I also managed to beat (luckily) a TR145 Ogre Team with my brand new humans!
The nasty teams are easier to beat than ball orientated teams, but you dont have as many players afterward |

Well, I've never tried anything like that. Maybe I need to get into unranked for more than tourneys |

Well, the chaos *only* had 2 claws (one claw-RSC actually) so it was in the "acceptable" range.
But gratz to macavity. Cool match (I watched the replay).
As a Human coach of (certain) success, I'd like to point out that my humans' favourite opponents at TR 200+ are Orcs. And they do perform quite well against them. My last game
Humans vs Orcs
Humans CAN play at high TRs. True.
Actually, Humans can be a good match for anybody at any tr.
ps: Mac, I want to play you and your Blue Bombers with my Hellfishes |

Oh, sure, now that I'm weakened..... I'd love to, if we are ever online together! |

Just watched the replay. Thought, especially in the first half, it was a suprise most of your team didn't die trying to have a stand off fight against Chaos. Apart from that a very good game.
I played a TR330 Lizardmen team with my7 new halfling team. Lost three-two but managed to kill his Kroxigor with the halfling death squad (Treeman knocks it down, 6 halflings run and foul it) |
