I need to rethink this
So, after the brutality exhibited in the first three games, we needed a nice easy game against less aggressive oppostition. So, that would be the team with the four mummies in. That'd be the one to pick...
Duh.
3 badly hurt, 3 seriously injured, and one more dead. My ogre now has a bad back, and my thrower had his arm reset by the doc.
At this point, do I come to terms with the rubbish-ness of my team and gracefully retire them, or shall I fight on with valour, steadfastness and integrity?
The only saving grace was a fleet-footed performance by Skunk T.Ham Bandit, skipping and dodging round the end of the line for a quality TD, and then almost snatching a draw on the very last turn until he was brought down so heavily by a lowly skeleton that the ball scattered all the way across the pitch allowing the opposition loiterer to pick the ball up two spaces from my endzone and dance over to make the scoreline 3-1.
Oh, updates on my other themes:
1) ICE DANCE SUPERSTAR: As the Falafels ran their first score in we had 0 men on their feet. A new record. Next time we take the field we will be wearing sequins.
2) GENERAL WUSSYNESS. The boys threw a total of 10 blocks in the whole game and I can only think of two occasions when opposition players were knocked down by us. During the whole game only three of the Falafels ended up off the field for any length of time. One was sent off for a foul. The other two were injured by rocks thrown by the faithful Bokonon fans during the second half, having realised that the boys on the pitch weren't likely to hurt anyone.
3) ERIC STOLTZ - having been rescued from Death during the last match, Eric suffered a bad injury in this one. He now has a bad back, although I don't know why the system isn't listing his ginger-ness as an affliction as well. I hope he dies properly soon. I'll hire Michael J. Fox to replace him and then we'll see how things go.
4) THE COWARD'S LAST RESORT - 6 turns into the first half my luck was standing at 18%. Things improved from there on in, but the casualty rate had destroyed my ability to be competitive from there on in

Fight on if you're still having fun with the team. If it's past the point of fun, feel free to retire them and make a new team.

Try to keep your FF up and find matches against similarly beat up teams, or match-ups with with less developed teams that outnumber you a bit. If you're not the masochistic type, shy away from super-bashy teams while shorthanded. Try to make sure your opponent's FF is high as well, so the big gate can get you money to recover.
I've been enjoying putting a skaven team back together from the innumerable pieces it had been shattered into. Having been as low as 7 players (including 3 nigglers), I can now field a full team and will soon be retiring the two remaining nigglers once I have money to replace them.
Fight On!
