“Warpstone Open Qualifier round 3.

Da Rippas face DP-Undead-with-Count! Our favourites! We brought Morg as counter. Handicaps for the Undead were Greatest (halving our # of tacklers), Illegal Drugs on Luthor, Bribe the Ref and Buzzing on one of the Mummies.

Da Rippas received first and put the ball on Morg. We feinted northside, went southside and managed to keep the slow Undead out of the way. We did allow (poor placing) the Buzzing Mummy a shot at 2d against on Morg. He took it, and with his second GFI he pushed the Legendary Ogre off the pitch! Morg was allright though, he just beat up some spectators and returned to the reserves box. The ball was thrown back in and AG4 Blitzer Kranak could pretty easily recover it and score 1-0 in T6.

The Undead had three turns left to equalize and moved the team upfield. But da Rippas tied down some of the potential scorers and Morg scared the Count from moving too far on his own. In the end a failed Undead GFI meant that there was only one Ghoul in scoring range come T8, so Morg 3d POWed it and secured the half-time lead.

The Undead second half drive was more effective. Fouling was weak in the first half, so both teams were at full strength from the start, but now the Undead were removing more and more Orcs from the pitch with fouls. Morg and Komog played safety far back, so the Ghouls stayed behind their wall of corpses with the ball while both teams maneuvered for position. Come T15 da Rippas were too low on players to prevent a breakthrough, allowing the Undead to move the ball into scoring range and tie down Morg. 1-1 in the last Undead turn was very hard to stop.

...leaving only the TTM attempt. Gruur picked up, handed off to Skutta, Morg threw him, Skutta made his landing and dodged in the winning 2-1 TD. TTM ftw!

GG Mr_Prezident, well played and see you around.”
