Let's Play Bloodbowl!!!!!

This week our friend Bloodbowl league started. It all stemmed from a WhatsApp group organising DnD sessions. When real life kicks in and DnD slowed down the group just turned into a cracking little chat group. Everyone  in the group had an interest in wargaming so when I got Blood Bowl interest was peaked.  Teams were bought, painted and the RCBBL (Random Chat Blood Bowl League) was born!

There are 6 teams in the league.

Ye Olde Giants - Humans
Bearwood Brawlerz - Orcs
Outriders - High Elves
Corpse Sporkers - Orcs
Slap and Tickle FC - Dark Elves
Crypt Kickers - Undead

Today saw the Giants take on the Sporkers and the Outriders faced the Crypt Kickers.
The Giants brought 10,000 fans and Sporkers brought 60,000 fans giving the Sporkers the edge on crowd support.

The Giants kicked off and the game began. The Orcs did what Orcs do best and grabbed the ball and piled forward. Trying to roll the left side. The Giants scrambled to halt the green tide. The game descended into mainly a brawl.

The humans stopped the left side attack for the orcs to reform and go again, this time aiming for the centre. The humans down a line men to a KO reformed a defensive line. The time running down, an orc blitzer made a break for it hoping to catch a thrown ball. The Giants Throwers sensing the danger rushed the blitzer, sending him sprawling and stopping the passing threat. Halftime was called and after some pieces of orange the teams went at it again. The speed of the Catchers caught the Orcs unaware but they ignored that and charged down where the ball landed. Players charged into the melee. A catcher was took down, and the human thrower Eli Manning took a chance dodged away from an Orc an launched a ball down field towards a Blitzer. He caught it and sprinted for the touchdown!
The teams reset and the Orcs pushed hard but couldn't break through but they did leave 4 humans badly hurt and one blitzer with a broken neck!!!!

After the match my blitzer (Thankfully not the one with the broken neck) levelled up so I got him mighty blow.

The other match was played at the same time so my friend Spartan Dave wrote up a short summary.

The match started the Crypt Kickers kicked to the Outriders once receiving the ball on the left wing of the field the thrower attempted to make a long bomb  across the field as the Crypt Kickers players swarmed him, he made an accurate pass but unfortunately it was intercepted by the crypt kickers wight who then tried to get through the chaos but failed dropping the ball. The Outriders lineman picked it up and showed the thrower how it’s done making a solid pass to the completely open catcher allowing them to score a touchdown. Play reset and the first half was over. Second half Crypt Kickers received the kick off and ran with the ball unfortunately a sneaky elf got in the way and caused a death killing the wight ball carrier right next to the end zone fortunately he regenerated back to life. Play continued until eventually a ghoul grabbed the ball and instantly the team formed a cage around him and forced their way up the field scoring a much needed touch down. Two turns to go for the elves they tried the same tactic as turn one and it was successful again the Crypt Kickers couldn’t believe it on their last turn the Outriders had managed to pull the win right out from underneath the crypt kickers

And that was it we have one game left to play this round so I'll let you know how that goes!
