Bad Luck:
On the kickoff, my opponent getting the 'Defense moves first' result when I had the ball. On the next kickoff, him receiving 'Offense blitzes' for the kickoff.

My trollslayers failing their Dauntless roll twice in a row trying to knock down his ogre.

Attempting a foul and getting caught at it, twice in a row really early on. (Which hurts when you have only 11 players)

silly mistakes:
Kept forgetting to move my turn marker first. Losing those rerolls HURT.

Got to caught up trying to put his runners into traction. One particularly lucky bugger got knocked down something like 10 times over the course of the game and didnt get anything past a stunned result. Twice I had someone try to foul him with two assists, and STILL nothing. *grr* That catcher must DIE.

Highlights: Putting his Ogre in the hospital.

MY next league game is tomorrow so hopefully I'll actually do better.

I hate the Dauntless skill. Always use it at the end of your turn or as a desperate measure. The way the game is designed really doesn't mean it's a skill allowing weaker players to block mighty ones, far from it.

Believe it or not, the Blitz kick-off roll was even more broken in earlier versions of the game. This time around, only people that are not in opponents' tackle zones get the free move, which means you'll have at most one player down at the end of it.

I never foul when I can field the minimum number of players. The odds of hitting a double are 1-in-6, no thanks.

I hope your league pits people against each other more than once during the season, rematches are cool. And you are lucky to be playing again tomorrow because usually, the whole league drags because A didn't play vs B yet and your next game is against A so you're screwed up.
