Small blog to commemorate first completed run of a BBT squad. I've tried it a few times before over the years but never actually completed it - and this time with 64 days remaining
So at this rate of games I would have time to do my 2nd squad as well. But I think I'll concentrate for a while on non-BBT teams, eg build for tourney
Anyway this season Amazons 4 pts, Norse 3 pts, Vamps 2 pts, which are 3 of my favourite teams. But then need a 0pt one to fill it out, and I've never played Gnomes before
Amazons - 7 / 4 / 4
Bit of a mediocre run for how good the roster is. Had a decent blitzer died after 11 games which hurt them a bit, the final 4 games were then 1 win, 2 draws, 1 loss
Norse - 13 / 2 / 0
At one point they were 12/0/0 which is maybe my best opening run for a team. I was pretty ruthless about minmaxing here, they've not developed much so if they go into Steel Trophy they'll be bit low on TV
I need to choose if I want to maybe go into Steel Trophy as wildcard, or redraft and continue in Iron Dwarf Trophy to chase more wins - can't do both
Vampires - 7 / 3 / 5
Struggled with very low cashflow and getting 2 throwers killed. Started to pick up momentum towards the end of the run though
Gnomes - 5 / 3 / 7
Started off really not enjoying the team, had some awful games, tanked my CR etc. But, gradually adjusted to the roster, and got better dice so then liked it more
See
https://fumbbl.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=33361 for more thoughts on playing them
Overall - 32 / 12 / 16 which I'm happy with, currently 46.0 pts
Next squad is Dwarves, Dark Elves, Renegades, Underworld. So much more mid-priced teams
