Warhammer Fall League reporting.

[zorbag]

I will update this Sunday with current standings. Once every 2 weeks I will update.

[droofus]

Week 1: 17

Marginal victory against Jeremy: 11
First game with him: 5
40% core (on the nose): 1

Battle highlight: My archers roll insane heroism to hold against chaos knights and save the victory. Never thought they had it in them.


Week 2: 20

Solid victory against Steve: 13
First time playing him: 5
No duplicated magic items (took an attacky mage, rather than a defender): 1
Unit in his deployment zone: 1

Battle High(or should it be 'low'?)light: Steve and I both getting stomped on by psychology. He couldn't pass a stupidity test and I couldn't pass a fear test. Gotta love cowardly elves vs. developmentally disabled lizards.

Week 3: 11 Points

Loss to Seth (skavenguy74): 5
First time playing him: 5 points
Had a spear elf unit with 25 models: 1 point

Battle highlight: My White Lions ending a clanrat unit and a slave unit in two turns.

Battle lowlight: Gutter runners wrecking my artillery, swordmasters and mages (roughly half my points). All credit to Seth for playing them in a wise and courageous manner.


Week 4: 11 Points

Loss to Corey (chambersUSMC): 5
First time playing him: 5 points
Cast "Fury of Khaine" with irresistible force: 1

Battle highlight: Shooting down the masque while Devin looked on approvingly (still a little mystified as to why, but I gathered that he had a history with her ).

Lowlight: My mage exploding herself (and 4 swordmasters) with miscasts. Must be the daemons messing with the winds of magic!


Week 5: 22 Points

Massacre against Chuck (Hardihar): 15
First time playing him: 5 points
Left out the banner of sorcery: 1
Controlled more table quarters at the end of the game

Battle highlight: Finding a use for dragon armor for the second week in a row.

Lowlight: Not much, and certainly Chuck has MUCH more to complain about in the luck department than me. But I will remember failing every fear test I had to make with my dragon princes.


Week 6: 21 Points

Massacre against Ross: 15
First time playing him: 5 points
Killed all his characters with none of my own dead: 1

Battle highlight: Chopping down a dwarf king with swordmasters.

Lowlight: Watching as my eagles exploded from organ gun fire. So much for war machine hunting!


Week 7: 10 Points

Massacred by Ben: 5
First time playing him: 5 points
No bonus points (a naked general - I think not!)

Battle highlight: Eating about half Ben's army with my Star Dragon.

Lowlight: Tie for getting my Sun Dragon shot out from under my Dragon Mage on turn 1 and Ben passing a critical leadership test on a 4. Those sure were brave rats...


League Total: 112

[zorbag]

For the first time you play someone in the league. That is it.

[FaithandFire]

First time you play someone in the league = 5 point.

I think Corey's question is around the 3 point bonus for an extra game. If you have already played your league game for that week and you play an extra game, do you get the 3 point bonus only if it is your opponents first game IN THE LEAGUE or do you get the 3 point bonus if it is your opponent's first game IN THE WEEK?

[skavenguy74]

Week 1 total = 19
Solid victory against Ross' stunty-things : 13
First time against Ross : 5
Bonus : 1 (40% core, skaven don't issue challenges unless they're assassins.)
Highlights : My gutter runner tunnlers scattering to just the right spot to charge his cannon crew in turn 2 and his organ gun misfiring 3 times in a row.

Week 2 total = 11
Losing end of a massacre against Steve's lizard-things : 5
First time against Russ : 5
Bonus : 1 (unit in opponent's deployment zone.)
Highlights : Steve's kroxigor's stomping around causing my entire left flank to collapse. They never did get into combat, just stomped around scaring my rat-things. My slave showing insane courage (snake-eyes) and staying in combat while the censer bearers run away.

Week 3 total = 17
Marginal Victory against Drew's High Elves : 11
First time against Drew : 5
Bonus : 1 (Both clanrat regiments and plague monks US 25+.)
Highlights : Drew's very effective use of his fast cav to neutralize my Pestilens troops for most of the game. My 5 gutter runners showing up on turn 2 (again! and wreaking havoc at the rear of his lines. These 5 rats were responsible for eliminating both his bolt throwers as well as both his mages. I think I might've been able to pull out a Solid Victory if I had fled with my Giant Rats in the last turn instead of holding. Lesson learned.

Week 6 total = 10
Losing end of a complete and total massacre against Devin's Dark Elves : 5
First time against Devin : 5
Bonus : 0
Highlights : Ummm, none from my point of view, was well and truly shot to pieces. The units that didn't flee off the table ended up little furry, dirty pin-cushions. Perhaps maybe the Black Guard combat in which the Black Guard took 5 wounds off my Rat Ogres, after which his lvl 2 sorceress took one last whack and killed another Rat Ogre. One slightly amusing moment in a game where my @$$ was well and truly handed to me.

Grand total = 57

[jeremy3play]

Played Chuck in week 2 = 5 points first time
Lost the game = 5 points
Didn't use same magical stuff = 1 point
11pts for the week

As far as the 3pt. thing, maybe just lose it all together? You should still get 5 points for facing a new opponent, but I think over the course of the league being able to get 6pt. bonus each week will skew the results in favor of those who can be there on Wed. when the player pool is larger and are able to get play opponents who haven't played a game yet. I say get rid of it to make it totally fair to all.

[zorbag]

The 3 pt thing exists only because people will therefore have incentive to help others make up missed weeks.

Im not gonna change things for now. Lets see how it plays out. Eventually we'll get a system down where everything seems 100% fair. (sarcasm) In every one of these things ive ever been in or run not everyone is happy with the rules, or the missions or something. We'll keep adjusting.

Remember these standings are pretty much meaningless as of right now. Still early, not everyone is up to date with their weeks, and some people played a lot of different people early. It will even out a bit.

Hardihar-59
Faith-56
ChambersUSMC-52
Scarpia-43
Lankey-42
Droofus-37
Jeremy3play-37
Ross-37
Skavenguy-30
Zorbag-24
JLChambers-22
DouginVT-17

Week 3 Report

VS Chamber's Spawn Squad

first time against the weedy git - 5 pts.
total loss (got slaughtered) - 5 pts.
extra - 1 pt

week total - 11 pts

Highlight- Giant, still on character killing rampage, takes assault by bloodletters, and smashes character with banner to a bloody pulp with club. Giant than dies an ugly , ugly death.

Grand running total - 54 pts

[jlchambers]

Another loss! This time against Ben and his Shooty Rats. Thanks for the game. Hope your Rats do better than mine.

Week 3 game points: 11
Grand Total: 33

[zorbag]

Ya , but I had only about 60 rats left at the end. By my estimate that leaves a combined dead pile of about 175 dead skaven.

Any game where 175 skaven die is a good game.

Pluswhen my magic was as on as it was tonight, I dont think anyone could have beat me. Hell the magic missles killed about 60 rats alone.

[skavenguy74]

Nice! It's almost heartwarming to see a fellow skaven's disregard for any life other than his own.

I can't even brag about beating a Mage to death with Skulltaker...Or can I...

I think you can and should. That was obviously a highly trained ninja-mage. How else could she have caused your skulltaker a wound before being turned into hamburger?
