2 Jacks en een Striker, dit keer de alternatieve poses uit de Booster Pack
Groepsfoto!
Afgelopen donderdag kon ik dus voor het eerst met een volledig geschilderd team spelen tegen Stefan zn Judwan
Ik was er van overtuigd dat de dobbel-goden me wel zouden belonen voor dit werk, maar hoe dat afliep laat ik maar over aan mijn goede vrienden Jake en Eddie
“Well, it was a very busy night for all Dreadball fans”
“Definitely, there were League Games, League Friendlies and Exhibition Matches, all going on at the same time. You needed a multi-screen setup just to follow it all.”
“Let’s start with the first full League match of the Basin City Dames. As the team with the lowest rating they could choose their opponent, and they chose to play against Xartarian Xenotropic Xeno's, a Judwan team.”
“Well, considering their problems so far, that’s the obvious choice. No chance of those peace-loving, religious softies hurting your players.”
“Their underdog status gave the Dames two Free Agents. No doubt they were hoping for a couple of bad-ass Guards to kick some Judwan into the ground, but all they got were two Jacks. Not very useful, as their regular Jacks are one of the best features of the team.”
“But you should have seen what the girls did with them.”
“What are you talking about, Ed? They never left the dugout the entire match.”
“I wasn’t talking about ‘during the match’, Jake. Did you forget what we talked about last time? You know, live video from the showers?”
“I’m trying to talk about Dreadball, Ed. Why does a sport-fanatic like you suddenly turn in to a sex-starved perv every time we discuss this team?”
“Well, that is kinda the point of this team isn’t it?”
*sighs*
“Yeah, I suppose so. Now, the match itself. Even without their hoped for extra Guards, the dames still tried to overpower the Triple-X’s, which was their first mistake of many. Right at the start, their only Guard ran forward to stomp an opponent, missed, and then spent the entire match in the Judwan’s half of the pitch. This way she was never in a position to do what she’s supposed to: Stop those Judwan from scoring.”
“Well, lucky for her, they didn’t need no opponent to stop from doing that, Jake.”
“Absolutely. I have never seen a match where a Judwan team managed to fumble so many scoring attempts. 2 scores in an entire match really is a poor result from this team. It really made the match much more tense then it should have been, because at any moment the Dames could have scored and cause a major upset.”
“Except they didn’t.”
“Not even close. Aparently failing to score is a disease that is contagious, because apart from a single-point score in the first rush, the Dames couldn’t hit the target. In the end it was a 5 point victory for the XXX”
“Commentator’s curse, Jake. Only last week we were saying how well they were scoring.”
“Well, the Dames have now at least earned some revenue which they wisely invested in some extra technical training. We’ll see how they do in their next Friendly after the Holiday Break.”
Ik blijf dus lekker onderaan de League bungelen, daar voel ik me prima
Dus het word nu tijd voor het schilderen van de 'fun stuff'
Free Agents, Cheerleaders, Coaches, ik denk niet dat die paar dagen vrij van kerst genoeg zijn
(oh, en 'technical training' betekent dat ik mijn geld heb gebruikt voor het aanschaffen van een DB-speelkaart)
Ook binnen gekomen bij Moenen is mijn bestelde Midgard Delvers Team, dus ik heb binnenkort ook mijn ForgeFather Free Agent te schilderen (en natuurlijk uiteindelijk een compleet team), en mijn team heeft nu ook een officieel logo
Met dank aan wijlen Tony Soprano, want deze is gebaseerd op het logo van de legendarische Bada Bing
