The Disapperators (Ethereal) vs. Evolution of a finer Chaos (Tzeentch)
https://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=match&id=3990579
Things started off poorly for the Chaos team when Lord Borak didn't show up on the pitch with the massive inducements they received against the ghosts, and the first action skull/both down rerolled to skull skull set the tone for the game. The ghosts were able to swarm into the chaos side of the pitch, and scored a goal midway through the half. Dice continued to be against the Tzeentch team as more blocks resulted in turnovers, and the half ended 1-0 to the ghosts, who received in the second half.
A Pitch invasion downed 3 from each side, and the Disapperators completed a couple of passes (with no rerolls even), with Matilda hitting Wini downfield to set up a score. Foul Appearance interfered with the Blitz of Wini, and she was able to remain on her feet, and Matilda ran up and hypnotized the Tzaangor marking Wini, who scooted into the endzone to take a 2-0 lead early in the second half.
a failed pickup gave the ghosts another opportunity to score, swarming the Tzeentch side of the pitch, popping the ball free, and getting it to the wraith who'd scored in the first half. a clever hypnotic gaze by a Tzeentch warrior freed a tzaangor from the ghost marking it, and the blitz on the ballcarrier knocked him down and the ball bounced off spirits and wraiths alike before coming to rest between Wini and 2 wraiths.
Nuffle smiled on the Chaos team for the next play, as a downed Tzaangor dodged to pick up the ball, and then through tackle zones and into the clear! he forgot to make the action a pass action, and wasn't able to throw the ball to the warrior downfield, and the ghosts were able to swarm and mark him again. a tough fought scrum made its way downfield, but the ghosts were able to prevent the opposing score when they knocked the ballcarrier down and Wini caught the ball. She was promptly blitzed and POWed by the downed tzaangor, but the ball landed one square farther than the midfield warrior could move to, and the scoring attempt fizzled as the whistle blew. 2-0 to the Disapperators.
All in all, Salad_Bar had some of the worst dice i've seen in the first half. He did well to hold me to one score with those kind of dice. my team played fairly competently for a change, 3 completions, one of them a medium (-1 range) with no rerolls needed. +AG wraith did of course fail a 2+ dodge and badly hurt himself, but he regened so can't really complain. i was about to buy my 14th player and then realized that i didn't care to give my last opponent any more inducements... 1550 looks better than 1610 going up against 1230...
Last match of the regular season is against High Elves... we'll see how that goes (titchy not providing modifiers in tackle zones could make things difficult...)
