“Challenge from: opponent

I'm aware that amazons are a 'broken' team - starting out, there is no better spread of skills, only the av7 lets them down, assuming you can knock them down at all.

Or not, in this case. I scored a few cas but the 'zons were always outnumbering me from the start, suffered from no failed blocks at all throughout the game as far as I recall, including plenty of 1 dice blocks and several -2 dice blocks where I got to choose what sort of knockdown to suffer from. The luck score you see represents mine clawing its way up eventually to 64% and Crimsons dropping to 64% from the high 60s and low 70s for most of the game, but with only 1 failed dodge, 1 failed gfi all game it's a bit of a nonsense anyway. At the end of the first half it stood at a solid 70% and I was a number of players down, a theme that continued to the end with only 4 players left.

I am glad I got two fouls in, both in reply to the zons initial fouls, and that one was in the last turn - I'd hate to think a foul went unanswered! My first resulted in Sister Rages' death which was a nice touch :) I think if you are going to foul, you may as well hope for the best result - nailing the other player into the floor - seeing as though there is no other reward. Saying sorry is a nonsense as well. You foul to get a player off the field, regardless of why else you might do it. 'Sorry' only rubs it in. I guess that debate will run and run though.

Best of luck with the team - I suspect they will, like just about every other amazon team out there, dodge bashy types (I also had a new orc team on offer but I suspect the offer would have been declined) and I was interested to hear that Crimson thought Chaos were bashy - not in my experience. They tend to suck until 6-7 games when they start to get a few useful skills and are pretty much easy meat till then unless in the hands of an excellent coach. You either front load with Chaos Warriors and no rr or grit teeth and grind your way through as best you can, generally losing the first few games unless you cherrypick the opponent and coach.

My first defeat in 31 matches, not that I'm counting, or bothered actually. Lizardmen aren't my usual choice of team, only an occasional dalliance, and on this showing, will continue to be so. Failed dodges for skinks ending in injury and failed blocks or mere pushbacks against the Zons made it a long, fruitless game with my cas box busy and the zons box only showing activity from the 2nd half with a couple of KOs, then later on a couple of injuries.

Best of luck with them Crimson, I don't think things could have gone much better for you than they did in this game, whereas I think I might try your suggestion and go with 6 saurii as the Kroxi was no barrier to your blodge 1 dice blocks :S”
