Blood Bowl: Legendary Edition Announced

Cyanide and Focus Home Interactive announce Blood Bowl: Legendary Edition, planned for release in the fourth quarter of this year, offering an updated and expanded version of Blood Bowl, the fantasy-themed sports game based on the tabletop game of the same name. There is word on this on the official Blood Bowl Website, we have some Blood Bowl: Legendary Edition screenshots, and here's a bit from the announcement: "Blood Bowl: Legendary Edition is the ultimate Blood Bowl edition! 12 new playable races join the 8 races already available in the 2009 edition. Thus, Blood Bowl fans will find all their favourite races from the original board game. Undeads, Amazons, Ogres and 9 other races enter Blood Bowl's tournaments. All 20 races have their personal style, tactics and unique skills which give each game a diversity rarely seen in a strategy game."

You're playing a n00b team I can tell. The game does feel that way until you start leveling up your team. The block skill is vital. On your example, the "both down" wouldn't knock you down and you'd get to continue.
It's not so much as the whole game feels that way, it's more the freak occurrence. And it's also not so much my team affecting it, it's the CPU rolling quite literally nine natural 5's (ie before modifier) in a row, as documented by the log window.

The attack example I used was just to illustrate the crap quality of my dice rolls in comparison...

As for block, it has generally second or third on my list of upgrades. (I've just been playing a single player Chaos army and get 'Hideous Appearance' as my first up, purely for flavour reasons. )

Note: I played the crap out of my red box copy (effectively v1.0 of the rules) and all but gave up when the first styrofoam-board version came out. The game feels a bit dumbed down from what I remember(probably just age kicking in...) but it's still loads of fun.
