Hi!
In our league we play with two teams each coach. I am used to bad luck with the dice, when I play my dark elves... that's the way it has to be I suppose
But yesterday my second team (orcs) seemed to suffer under that same curse
I wonder if any team of a dark elve coach is doomed to that bad luck...
ciao

It's not a DE curse, it's a elven curse in general.
And, yes, it is contagious. My PDHBBL were team has taken a roasting, no. of "1"'s and skulls....

I roll the same number of 1's and skulls with any team. I just only ever remember the 1's and skulls cos they're the rolls that lose you games.
I also tend to remember the 1's I roll with AG4 players more than the 2's I roll with AG3 players.

Elves do roll more 1s, but that's because they roll more dice!
As for the orcs, that was only one game, you'll get luckier next time.

And here I tought the Dark Elf curse was never being able to break armor, and never being able to field more than 8 players after the first drive.

Maybe that was just my curse.

Dark Elves are cursed. Can't count the number of times our DE teams have failed dodges, leaps and ball pickups with their 5 ag guys and a reroll to spare.

I always had a Dwarf blessing; causing at least 2 or 3 cas each match and breaking armour + KO many more times.
Then I started playing other teams, and as a punishment, I lost my Dwarf Blessing (even with Dwarfs).
Started playing Dwarfs again and now it appears to be returning a little bit

Of course dark elves are cursed.
Weren't the driven form their homeland and forced to live the cold, dead wastes and live on people's souls.

For me the curse always kicked in hardest when I pushed into the endzone. I don't think it worked once for me in the 24 games I played them.
Of course the last turn of the Finals for the last cup they played in I could dodge once to get in or push into the endzone. Now I had dodge and I had a reroll. Judging on past failures I figured maybe I could trick the dice by dodging in. Need I tell you that it was 1, reroll 1. This lost it 2 to 1 against the Lizards.
The only good thing I take away is the sure belief that I could not have succeeded if I choose the push instead. 24 games of solid failures does not lie.

The only time I played Dark Elves, only 1 player was left uninjured and alive... my Witch-elf was just knock-out, so yes, Dark Elves are cursed.

Well, my dark elf team is cursed. Of course, I butchered their formation, so that has a lot to do with it, but Nuffle saw fit to bless my dice with nothing but 1s. Man, does that suck.

Never really though of DEs as cursed until I read this thread. My nephew is playing DEs and though he has won the majority of his games, he always gets his WEs killed. One was killed twice in one game (after being apothed of course). He hasn't bothered to buy any replacements, but now I think his blitzers will start biting the dust.
