yendiSo, the reason I'm ludicrously behind on all lj and other online activities is that yesterday, I spent the entire day at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
voltbang and rloveking's house, playing lots of Blood Bowl.
voltbang and I first finished out our previous match. Thanks to a riot at the kickoff, the second half was short, but his orcs managed to score another touchdown, meaning my chaos dwarves got shut out 2-0.
However, thanks to my MVP award going to the same player who completed a lucky pass ealier in the game, I now have a blocker who has the Guard abillity, a damned fine thing to have, as I soon found out.
In the second game, I actually mananged to score my first ever BB touchdown, as I got a lucky roll to take down his ogre, and my bull centaur trotted down the sideline for a TD. We stopped after that, as Maddie had to come home from daycare due to a fever, so afterrloveking picked her up, voltbang and I took the poor sick kid to The War Room, because everyone knows that the cure for all ailments, at any age, is a kick-ass gaming store.
At least, that's my theory, and I'm sticking to it.
The store was nifty (and Maddie found lots of Shiny Things to play with -- she's clearly picking up her daddy's love of miniatures), and one that I wish was closer, although I'd be beyond broke if it was.
Afterwards, we got back to their place, andjet_li_wannabe and Jerry came over. After doing the Dance of Commercial Incompetance with Dominos, we finally had pizza to eat, and jet_li_wannabe and I played.
I'd never played against a finesse team before, and, frankly, he kicked my ass. After seven moves, I was down 2-0. With only one turn left in the half, I finally remembered what Chaos Dwarves really do well, which isn't scoring points. It's hurting people. I think I took three or four of his players off the field that turn, including one who'll miss the next game as well. So at the half, I'm down 2-0, but I've opened up more cans of whoop-ass. :-)
And, of course, while this was going on, we also watched the Thrashers hit a three-game winning streak! Woo-hoo!
We headed home after that. Overall, a damned fun day filled with miniature monsters attacking each other over a football, as well as lots of good conversation, of course.
