Gorarcs Doom Mob (Goblin Team) - Blood Bowl (Classic Campaign)

[MacroGuru]

*I created this team to test out the Gobbo's and see how they will be for me when I launch a team in the 2nd FOFC League.

Not many people take a Goblin team seriously especially the Orcs, we view them as cannon fodder in a lot of different areas of life. However, being disillusioned with the smash and bash game of my borthers, I set up to create a unique team, one that is going to actually challenge for the Blood Bowl.

Let me introduce myself, the name is Gorarc and I am a retired Blood Bowl player, one that was lucky enough to survive a few games and start my own team. However due to a rough game and some serious fouling I was found not wanted in the Orc community. Shunned, I took my money and created this team.

1. Crazerip - Troll
2. Smashbash the Furious - Troll
3. Net Sickcut - Looney
4. Xod Eviltwister - Fanatic
5. Ned Damngibber - Pogoer
6. Bagt Stonedread - Goblin
7. Deg Foulclub - Goblin
8. Dusb Bigshadow - Goblin
9. Gats Madtongue - Goblin
10. Gzar Metalgouger - Goblin
11. Zus Deadeye - Goblin
12. Koxedt Bonedoom - Goblin
13. Sabt Madmuck - Goblin

We pick up a few cheerleaders to help the small following we have amassed over some of the pickup games we have played and the team tryouts. Our one Apothocary more than likely has his hands full.

Everyone is a rookie and looking at getting their big break into the world of Blood Bowl but they have all survived till here.

Up first is the Clean Cup and our first opponent is the Holy Revengers a Human Team.

[MacroGuru]

Game 1 - Holy Revengers

The yell from the other side of the pitch "Die evil goblin scum" had Gats literally pissing himself but Net started cackling with glee as he was starting up his chainsaw, I don't think he is all there.

We lose the toss and are forced to Kick Off, the goal here is to play stall ball, and keep them from moving the ball forward at all costs.

Turn 1 - The kick lands about 3 squares from the goal line and bounces towards their thrower. He scoops it up from the right side of the field and runs to the left where they begin to set up a cage. Their catcher tries to dodge by Gats who promptly trips him up and it's a turnover to us.

Net blitzes a lineman with his chainsaw which promptly dies out when he hits and does absolutely nothing. Meanwhile Koxedt makes a solid block knocking his guy back and down.

Crazerip goes stupid on me and Smashbash attacks their Ogre and they both go down in a heap, turnover.

Turn 2 - They move the cage deeper into their half, but send two Catchera deep into our half, they might be going for a deep pass. They then dodge into our area with a blitz and attempt to block Crazerip who knocks him down. Turnover for the Humans.

Crazerip throws a great block on their blitzer moving forward a bit. Net launches the chainsaw at the lineman again, this time hitting and showering a bunch of blood out as the lineman goes down stunned with the attack. We drop Gats and Zus with Gats blitzing one of the deep catchers and knocking him down.

Turn 3 - The revenger thrower runs around the end and tries to hit one of the Catchers deep, Bagt is in the way and the pass is incomplete, turnover.

Bagt throws the block on the catcher knocking him away and down from the lose ball while Deg pulls back and grabs the ball. Net revs the chainsaw and blitzes their blitzer and knocks him out with his helmet shattering. Smash then blocks a lineman and they both go down in a heap.

Turn 4 - A lot of posturing but Deg gets blasted dropping the ball. Nothing on our end except Zus failed the pick up.

Turn 5 - The two catchers team up on Gats, who still reeks of urine from the start but he held his own as 2 of them go down in a heap with the one catcher screaming in agony as a severe gash opens up on his leg with some bone sticking out. Way to go Gats. Turnover.

We don't get much accomploshed but posturing and Bagt fails to pickup the ball again.

Turn 6 - Not much happens on the Revengers side except for a failed pickup of the ball.

We rally with Smash knocking down their thrower, and Net taking the chainsaw and stunning the Ogre. Crazerip is still standing around with his thumb up his arse. Gats gets the ball and sets himself up int a miniature version of a cage, I need to get the trolls down there fast.

Turn 7 - They try and knock the ball out of Gats hands...nothing happened. On our turn, Net slips in a block and sticks himself with a chainsaw, our apothecary saved us there.

Turn 8 - They try and knock Gat around again and he dodges them well, with Crazerip getting a lineman dodging into his zone. Gats then dodges out and gets to Crazerip who then picks him up and throws Gats onto the Revengers side.

We go to the half tied 0 - 0

Turn 9 - We receive the Kick.

We read the snap and get off in a quick second faster than the Revengers, setting up for a very short kick. Smash goes after the block and he and the lineman go down. Zus takes a block and damages his back and is out. The humans overextend themselves and they have a thrower trip overhimself as he is trying to move a bit further.

Turn 10 - Ned our Pogoer moves scoops the ball up and sets himself up for a cage. Smash takes out the lineman that knocked him out, hitting him so hard his neck snaps awkwardly to oneside, he is yelling but not moving.

Turn 11 - We set up some blocks and Ned takes off down the field where Gats positioned himself earlier and hurls the ball at him. Gats catches it and is basically open for a touchdown, unless the humans push themselves to get to him.

The humans push themselves to the limit, none of them could get to Gats, one of them turned to take off and Koxedt knocked him senseless from behind.

Turn 12 - Gats takes off to the end zone....Touchdown!!

Bad news is, Ned and Xod have been sent off due to their weapons and Net shredded his ribs and will be missing next game.

And we set up for the kickoff now down 2 guys - Bagt kicks it of right to their lineman and then their Ogre attacks Crazerip who fractures the Ogres leg with the block. Big win for us.

Turn 13 - We move towards where they are attempting to set up, creating a green goblin wall against them. The two trolls both knockdown the lineman in front of them.

They come out trying to create a wedge in the wall and then drop their lineman back towards their thrower and send 3 players deep down the right side of the field.

Turn 14 - Both trolls go dumb on me, and we don't suceed in a block.

And they get smacked trying to dodge.

Turn 15 -Nothing much happened except for the Dusb block that not only knocked him down but the Catcher out.

The lineman makes a pass over the heads of the players, barely getting it above Crazerips head and to the catcher who marches it down to the endzone.

The game is now tied 1-1

Turn 16 - They coffin corner the kick into the right side corner so we go all out trying to hit as many players as possible resulting in nothing. Deg takes the brunt of a block though and gets knocked out. In the process though he manages to break the Humans leg.

Game ends in a 1-1 tie and a 15/20 Match Rating.

Our stats...

40 yards Rushing
16 yards Passing
1 TD
5 Tackles
3 KO
4 Casualties

The MVP for us was Deg Foulclub.

[MacroGuru]

Not much happened between our matches. Got some fans providing me their support...that is if you call parchment wrapped around a stone saying "Get Lost" support (Fan Factor reduced 1)

With only getting 40,000 gold from that last game I am faced with a dilemma.

Net Sickcut is out this match due to him cutting himself on the chainsaw, he owes me a ton of money too, that Apothecary wasn't cheap and because he was worn out I couldn't have him heal Zus Deadeye, who now has a damaged back that is going to bother him for the rest of his life.

I need to pick up another Gobbo with the 40,000, I will talk Zus into retiring next week if he survives the next match.

The good news is with Deg's MVP selection and the stomping he gave out last match he was invited to a blocking camp and now has some new tricks.

I hold open tryouts and pick up a new Goblin, Xag Greathowl

[MacroGuru]

Match 2 - The Black Axes (Dwarves)

Not a good day for me as we draw the Black Axes. The fear is already there although Crazerip and Smash were joking about Dwarf stew.

They bring in a mercenary Kurin Dreng_Troll for this match.

We win the toss and actually elect to kick, I feel this might help the squad with the ball sitting on the dwarves end of the pitch.

Turn 1 - As I set the starting lineup, I am going to keep Ned and Xod off the pitch until the second half leaving me a man short.

There is a high kick and the dwarf runner gets underneath it and mishandles the kick, then he tries to pick up the ball and fumbles it for a turn over.

Smashbash goes stupid on me with Craze nailing and pushing back the troll slayer. Other than that, we set up a goblin wall off of the trolls.

Turn 2 - Bagt takes a shot and is knocked out as the start to form a cage on the left side of the field, meanwhile their Blitzer tries to push it and falls over.

We push the dwarven wall back and drop Deg back to play a saftey roll, the gobbos are around the trolls and I am calling for the trolls to throw some of them at the ball carrier.

Turn 3 - Their blocker takes on Gzar and he lays the beatdown on the blocker and we have a turnover.

We set up to attack the troll slayer and Gzar, Koxedt and Dusb join in the fray colliding with him and breaking his wrist....he is going to have to hang himself in shame for this injury. Meanwhile Smash has gone dumb on me. Deg tries to dodge out of a tackle zone and is smacked down for it.

Turn 4 - A couple of the gobbos get knocked down, but it's when one of the blockers takes on Smash and he gets beat down. He did manage to try and move from the left to right side of the field.

Crazerip comes around the right side of the line and smashes his blocker back and is right up next to the runner. Gats tries to take on a blocker by himself and is knocked down.

Turn 5 - Craze gets knocked down.Gzar is knocked out and sabt is injured. Not a good turn for us.

Gadrin blitzes the lone runner on the right sideline and they both go down, the runner drops the ball.

Turn 6 - We all switch hiting each other and both go down.

Turn 7 - Smash is knocked out and they scoop the ball up and move down the sideline. It looks like we will be down by 1 at the half.

2 of our boys blitz the runner and he knocks one of them down.

Turn 8 - The runner is looking to set the score up and dodges and Deg takes him down knocking the ball lose.

Halftime - We took a beating in the first half with 1 injury and 4 KO's, we only get 2 of them back at the half, one of them being Craze

Turn 9 - We set up a wall for the right side with our Pogoer back to receive the snap. We time the kick just right and get a quick snap and make our moves befor the ball lands.

Xod winds up and gets going knocking their blocker down, but put himself in a vulnerable spot and exposing the dumb brothers. Ned scoops up the ball and hops to the cage we have set up on the right side for him.

Dusb takes a shot and breaks his leg, the apothecary basically tries to kill him.

Then they try and hit Xod who knocks the guy down.

Turn 10 - Xod goes off pushing back and then blasting the dwarf down to the ground. The cage doesn't move, but we push a lot of the dwarves back and Gzar dodges several dwarves as he takes off downfield to set himself up for a pass or handoff.

Crazerip is ganged up on by 4 dwarves and is knocked down.

Turn 11 - Ned dodges out of everything as the Bash Brothers opens up a hole for him, he hops down the sideline and hands the ball off to Gzar who is now wide open to run it in for a TOUCHDOWN!

We are up 1-0

Both of our knocked out players wake up and are back out on the pitch but Ned and Xod are sent off for their weapons and we are now down to 8 players.

As we kickoff we catch the dwarves unaware and blitz them. it's mainly a position move for us.

They set up a wall on the left side to run down and try and seal the ends.

Turn 12 - Koxdt and Gzar break through the seal and get to the runner, blitzing him and knocking him down and the ball loose.

Xag gets knocked out and they fumble the ball trying to pick it up.

Turn 13 - Craze throws Bagt towards the 3 dwarves surrounding the ball and he lands right behind them. Bagt then throws a block and injures a dwarven runner.

Dwarves recover from the shock of a flying goblin and block Bagt and then pick up the ball and head down the left sideline setting up a wall.

Turn 14 - Crazerip goes and tries to throw Deg but gets hungry, Deg squirms free and knocks himself out. Bagt tries to dodge and is knocked out.

Dwarves march down the left sideline some more.

Turn 15 - Nothing much, we try to move towards the dwarves to stop them, Smash tries to throw Gats and fumbles him.

The dwarves march and then foul and get caught.

Turn 16 - We try to stop the dwarves and we get slammed dodging.

The dwarves run it in to end the game in a tie.

1 - 1

[MacroGuru]

As we look in between our matches we are pretty much healed up, I am going to keep Zus on the reserve squad and I am going to hire another Gobbo, the Dwarves proved we need the full 16.

So with the winnings from this game, I go out and find a new Goblin, his name is Gos Evilthief.

Dusb is also going to miss this next match we have coming up.

Looking at the remaining match, it looks like we will face the Skaven team, Noxious Nibblers. I actually feel this is a game we can win.

[BYU 14]

Impressive to draw a Dwarf team 1-1 and still field a crew for the next game. Good stuff Dennis!

Thanks!

I am finding that wielding the Loonie, Fanantic and Pogoer are definite tactics that have to be considered, so that helps out a lot.

The dwarf team they made a few mistakes in picking the ball up in the 1st half or I think I would have lost that game. I definitely need some of the Gobbo's to level up or my trolls, the throwing team mate skill is a blast and a must use to get some of the goblins over near the ball.

[MacroGuru]

Well, I am going to be playing a game today (I hope) . I like having a 2nd computer to type up the match report while I play.

It will be a bit for it...

[condors]

looking forward to updates, i tried goofing around with the goblins and found that they are fun but I don't know how to be successfull with them.

[MacroGuru]

Going into Match 3 our roster looks almost the same...

1. Crazerip - Troll
2. Smashbash the Furious - Troll
3. Net Sickcut - Looney
4. Xod Eviltwister - Fanatic
5. Ned Damngibber - Pogoer
6. Bagt Stonedread - Goblin
7. Deg Foulclub - Goblin
8. Dusb Bigshadow - Goblin
9. Gats Madtongue - Goblin

11. Zus Deadeye - Goblin
12. Koxedt Bonedoom - Goblin
13. Sabt Madmuck - Goblin

14. Xag Greathowl - Goblin
15. Gos Evilthief - Goblin

With Xag and Gos being the new additions, chances are I will flesh the team out with one more Gobbo next match.

Match 3 - Noxious Nibblers

The are 2-0 while we are 0-0-2 and still in 2nd place with 2 points while the Nibblers lead by 6.

As it stands we need a win here to help us out at all and keep the race even..a draw can tie us for 2nd while a loss will completely place us out of contention for the cup.

Turn 1 - We receive the kickoff. I have decided to keep the Pogoer and Looney on the side for this half. I need them for the 2nd half more than anything.

Deg take a block and is hurt, as does Gats. Crazerip protects himself stunning his blocker.

We decide to wait it out for the timer on our final posession. Not much can be done here, we are down to 4 on the pitch.

The game ends in a 1-1 tie but the major problem will be seeing the injuries for the next match and whether or not we can weather it.

[MacroGuru]

Zus is seriously injured and I am forced to release him.

Crazerip levels up and we select Guard for him.

We have try outs and bring on Goblin Kebr Metaleye.

One thing I did learn is to not use the Fanatic in close proximity to the team...he hurt us more than anything the game against the Nibblers. I honestly feel if I would have had Smash on the field it would have been a different result.

[condors]

i usually use the fanatic as a cage buster and use him in the half that i kick to the other team.(at least that is the theory)

good work with the gobos so far

[MacroGuru]

We get 2 guys that improve at the end of the match...

Smash is up to level 2 and we teach him Guard.

Ned, the pogoer is now level 2 and we teach him sure hands.

One thing I did notice though is Xag has a 1 ST and I will send him home and bring on another player, Baxk Greatgouge.

I am tempted to round out to 16 players but hold off.

Anyone want to bet on when we win our first actual match?

Match Day 2 - The Black Axes (Dwarf)

I just realized I am sitting at a TV of 1240 and the main reason is the fact I have to carry a full roster, that is letting the other teams get on avg 150K in inducements...most of the time it equates to an extra re-roll if the team is really low, a star player.

Going into the match I will leave the pogoer and fanatic off until the 2nd half unless I really need them.

[MacroGuru]

So the dwarves dished us our worst loss ever. It sucked having to use the pogoer and the fanatic way before I wanted to. I think I might have to rework the philosophy of using them...

Right now I am disgusted by the play.
