An update from the northern realms, where the Blood Bowl League has complete its first Season of 11 games. All teams started fresh from the box with a million gps. This is how the Coach Reilly's Vampire team went:
Game 1 vs Snotlings TIE 1-1
Game 2 vs Chaos WIN 3-nil
Game 3 vs Orcs WIN 1-nil
Game 4 vs Chaos Pact WIN 3-nil
Game 5 vs Halflings DRAW 2-2
Game 6 vs Mummies DRAW 1-1
Game 7 vs Khorne DRAW 1-1
Game 8 vs Black Orcs DRAW 1-1
Game 9 vs Underworld WIN 3-1
Game 10 vs Gnomes WIN 6-nil - breaking the League record for most TDs in a single game!
Game 11 BYE (counts as a draw)
Overall 5 Wins, 6 Draws and a very sweet number of TDs scored.
Throughout the first Season the Vamps stayed in the top 4, creeping upwards slowly so after 9 rounds they sit proud at the top (but likely to slip to a most respectable second when the Orc team plays their last game and are odds on to win) and the only team that is unbeaten.
The Vamps are now fielding 3 of the 5 leading TD scorers in the League:
And the top passer in the League - "Air Vamps"??? :-) For a guy who doesn't like elves, Coach Reilly seems to be taking a lot of moves from the Elf playbook! :-)
Vamp team now boasts these key players:
Baron Gregor von Klaus (Blitzer) Blodge, Tackle, Mighty Blow and Juggernaught! (frequent scorer and headhunter)
Count Edgar Dietrich III (Thrower) with Block, Cannoneer ( For throwing the ball)
Vicount Freidrich Freydenburg V (Thrower) with Blodge, Leader (for running the ball)
Here's what the team roster looks like at the end of the Round:
With one of the teams dropping out, there will now be another full round with each opponent. Some teams are now getting very developed and sitting a swedge of cash to buy special play cards and all the shenanigans they bring!
