2018-19: UEFA Champions League

Posted on by

I recently acquired a set of teams for APBA Soccer for the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League.  Instead of replaying the actual schedule, I decided to have an alternate draw for the Round of 16.

Borussia Dortmund v. Roma

 

Barcelona v. Schalke 04

 

Paris-Saint Germain v. Athletico Madrid

 

Porto v. Liverpool

 

Bayern Munich v. Tottenham Hotspur

 

Manchester City v. Lyon

 

Real Madrid v. Ajax

 

Juventus v. Manchester United

Not sure when I’ll start this one, but the match ups should be interesting.

Stay tuned!

Five For Fighting

As I’m getting though this first game of APBA Hockey, I don’t think I’m making *that* many mistakes, but halfway into the second period:

  • Sharks are up 6-2 on the Flames
  • I decided to pull Mike Vernon for Jeff Reese for the Flames
  • Link Gaetz got into a fight with Neil Sheehy, both got 5 minute penalties, and Sheehy got a game misconduct and was ejected

Mah boy.

AHA! Moment 2?

After playing one period of APBA Hockey, I felt oddly… calm, almost at peace with the universe.

One pass through the rule book and I seemed to have gotten most of it down, in addition to a few suggested hints on play along the way.

The result was a period of tabletop hockey that reminded me of and felt like actually being at a hockey game.

After I finish this game up (tonight, I hope) I’ll tackle Strat-O-Matic Hockey, and if I’m really adventurous, I may pull out In the Crease Hockey.

Stay tuned!
