Second game!
Basicly, it Went down okay! Lost against a couple of highelfs with 1-2 and considering I did some mistaces and had both lots of luck AND bad luck Im satisfied.
I had some inducements and took a Dirty trick card (didnt know how that worked and that was a setback) and a 50k of beer but what I should have done was a team training.
Anyhow I choose to kick and they scored in round 6(I Think) after lots of bounching balls and such. I had only 2 rounds to try to score and what a normal coach would do was aiming for a draw or atleast just beat the crap out of the noble elfs but Im rather go for the win.
Ofcourse It didnt work!
Second half! Sweltering heat and Three of my greenskins decided to take some rest and I Think my 7 orcs where up against 9 or 10 but I managed to score after only two rounds with some luck with long pass and I Think my opponent could have made it harder for me but maybe he thought it didnt matter, but guess what? It did!
Sweltering heat again! 7 orcs vs 10 highelfs and they recive the kick, yeah! They controlled the last second half by marking my orcs and run around them with the carrier and I Think he was standing next to the touchdown area for 2 rounds but it was a great game and Im Learning the menues and how to do actions here, witch is pretty different from BB legendarys version.
Tonight I will prolly leave the orcs, since they where a trial and error team to begin with, and try the slanns. Never played them(BB legendary? Yes!) and I want a funny team that can compete against the rest of the teams out there. My favorite team is goblins but if i wanna play competitive they are not the best choise.
So Slann it is!

Welcome!
I warn you, Slann are funny, but not very competitive.

That may be it, but they are hopefully(no pun intended ;) ) somewhat more competetive than the goblins!
The goblins are very dangerous, but mostley withing the very own team.....

I'm not saying it's not sometimes a good decision. However I have never ever chosen to kick in my life. And altogether I've probably played 3-4k of games. Just saying...

True, and I understand your Point. The plan at this Point is that I hoped to either force him to score quickly so I could have 4-6 turns to retaliate or, that I would hold him of or even get a TD. And ofcourse just Pound away on the opponent so he couldnt defend with a full team and it wasnt so far away that it did go according to plan.
Cause with this team of brutes and only 2 RR I didnt Think I could score without getting some elfs of the pitch.
I Think I go with kick aprox 50% but it depends on my own team and opponents but I may reconsider it when I have played abit more :)
I dunno how many games I have played, maybe 500? I know it is waaaay more than a few houndreds but I doubut it is as many as 1k but hoping to get a few K going in a few years :)

Choosing to kick depends on your team and style of play. A bashy team might choose to receive, because it's easier to bash the opponent that way.
An agile, fragile team might indeed choose to kick if the coach is sure of his own defence. It's way way easier to defend with 11 men, and if you play an av7 team it's more than likely you won't have them in the second half.
And if you manage to steal and score, it's pretty much game over.
Also it's easier to oneturn at turn 8 than it is at turn 16 (likely more players on the pitch).
Instead it's quite easy to score with such teams even if you have few players left.
So yeah, with some teams it's better to kick first than to receive first. Most depends on your style.

Your name isn't in homage to the old school horror flick of the same name, is it?!?

Haha in a way it is, cause it is taken from a Misfits tune, that I belive is named after that Movie. I just love the song and has played under that name in every game I played online the last 15 years or so.
