“Our new undead have been matched against Loew's woodies who are at 120/121 but have just 9 players. Our handicap is illegal drugs making our lone wight STR 4.

We receive, and start well by KO'ing two elves via block & foul and then moving the ball forwards into a cage... but it's not enough to stop their strip ball wardancer from leaping in and 1d pushing the ghoul. Then their other wardancer grabs the ball in two tackle zones and runs downfield to score on turn 3. Arg! We set up, get the ball, move forward with a loose screen... and watch as their wardancers once again sprint around and strip the ball from our ghoul! We get 4 players around the ball, deciding not to try and pick it up with 2 wardancers nearby- but it's not enough as they knock over a ghoul onto it, bounce it into 'just' two tackle zones and once again grab it with a wardancer who runs downfield to score again!

We try and score in our two remaining turns but easy dodges means the elves can reposition to totally block the way for our ghoul receiver and the attempt comes to nothing.

With just one wood elf in the KO box we have 11 vs 8 for the 2nd half, but at 2-0 down it's looking very bad for us. They run the ball forwards nicely, after getting quite a few of our players on the wrong side, and score to make it 3-0 on their 4th turn when we can't knock over their dodge-elf despite several 2d blitzes rerolled.

We then realise we should have been carrying the ball with our STR4 wight from the beginning, so a single wardancer can't realistically blitz him over. We do this and push forward for a consolation TD in 3 turns. Should have done that at the beginning!

Well won Loew!”
