Dark Elf Woes Continue

The Har Ganeth Blades put on another inept display last night - losing to the Elves of the Spirit Dragon Sky Masters 1-0.



It was a match that both teams would undoubtedly prefer to forget - the game was played in the rain which no doubt added to, but doesn't fully explain, the number of fumbles, fails and falls experienced by both teams. In fact, the so bad was the display that Bastard & Claws, the Match Rating Agency, gave the game only 8/20 - that is, the same score routinely awarded to unplayed Byes and Foffeits!!  The game's only Touch Down came just before half time when the Sky Masters finally managed to string together a series of actions without anyone falling over or dropping the ball!! A full replay is available on Cabalvision.

The Har Ganeth Blades coaching staff are in something a quandary - the team is good, the game plans are reasonably sound - but wins (even draws) still elude them. If they are not being Blitzed every second Kick-Off it, seems they can't handle the ball or dodge with any consistency. In this game, with 42% of d6 rolls this being 1s (and 58% being 1-2) - what can you do? (Besides start planning the early draft pick for Season VII) 

The bright spot in the game was the performance of the Assassin, Silent Steel, who had a great time stabbing elves left, right and centre. With 100,000gp in the bank - serious consideration is being given to hiring the second Assassin. At least a failed Stab doesn't cause a Turn Over :)

Thanks to Mick for the game - good luck with the rest of the season.
