I took place in a mini-BB league recently, six progression games in six weeks. I could only make four games, and thought (foolishly) it would be good to take my halflings for a run. Ouch.
My starting roster was two Treemen, ten Halflings, one reroll. My strategy was to induce Deeproot and a Master Chef each game, which I was able to do.
The Wild Flings |
Match 1. The Mariners (Human). 3-1 loss. I always enjoy playing my old opponent, Vimes. I got a hilarious TD at the end of the first half where the ball bounced from player to player before I caught it next to the end zone. After that, the league went downhill! I suffered 5 casualties and handed out 3.
Mariners vs Wild Fling |
Match 2. The Queens of Lorien (Wood Elves). 4-2 loss. Despite their relatively weak armour, I lost this game to attrition against the Woodies, suffering 6 casualties.

Match 3. The Zharr-Naggrund Bankers Union (Chaos Dwarves). 2-1 loss. Halflings struggle against Chaos Dwarves- they're faster, tougher, hurtier, and ignore your Dodge skill... I suffered 6-0 casualties, including two deaths, so I think I did OK to only lose by one TD!

Match 4. Ursurer's Guild- (Chaos Dwarves). 4-1 loss. What's worse than a Chaos Dwarf team? Two Chaos Dwarf teams! This match was a slaughter. I was so close to conceding, and I don't think I've ever done that before. I suffered 9 casualties... thankfully, the league ended!
Desperate Halflings run the gauntlet |
Ouch, that really was bruising, but great to see the team take to field.
ReplyDeleteRegrets, I have them...
DeleteGod bless ye for trying to make it with Halflings. They're so tasty!
ReplyDeleteYour highlight reel really made me laugh. Anyway, count yourself lucky for having a regular BB league!
It was only a super short one, but you have to support the game!
DeleteI wonder what effect the new release will have.
Great looking team
ReplyDeleteThanks, HW!
Deletehey, Halflings Are a great team... you just have to know how to use them
ReplyDeletePlaying two Chaos Dwarf teams successively can crimp your style...
