“First Round of Warpstone Open and second meeting with Jokaero in a tournament.

I expected a tense match which will leave me with some injuries or losses.
The three + AG players (two mobile gurards and a super star ball carrier) combined with the clawpom might looked grim for me. I thought i have to go more risk at inducements, not taking blodwiser babes, which normaly are important in such matches. I took a chef and hoped to strip RR´s.
Well the chef took only 1 RR both halfs, i did´t really need the added RR, but in first half the one striped propably made the match.
Jokaero had two good first turns. A zombie out BH and some stunnes. My first turn was propably not the best tactical move i thought, but it should proove well. Jock tried to take down a mummy getting my strongest tool, the ST advantage, out. So he did go to a full infight against both mummies with four guarders. Even my next turn did´t show anny success for me, my dp got banned on the first (and only) foul leaving me to a total of 11 players for the match thinking it will get worse. But then nuffle made the rest of the first half a disaster for Jockaero. A CW in the center failed to take down a his marking zombie rolling snakes after RR. Suddenly more then half of his team was pinned in infight with the mummies and Jocks RR´s down to 0. I could use the fail to threaten the BC with my fast ST4 wight and move my wrestle skeleton into a good devensive position. Unable to fully shield the BC jock tried to get the ball out of blizzing range from the wight and in scoring position protected by only one CW. My blizz to the CW resulted in a lucky KO and i could pin the BC between the skeleton and the tackling wight. The result of first half was 0:0 with a bunch of KO´s on the chaos side and only one waking up for second leaving me 10:9 for second half wich was my drive. Second half was unspectacular. I adwanced carefully. Both sides did´t realy hit much. I played a slow move forward for a T8 TD. A last ditch effort doding into my defence brought down the BC on Turn7 but it was easy to clear the path. Nuffle did´t screw the TD by failing my pickup and it was over.

Thanx for the game Jockaero. Hope we meet again. The luck was cearly on my side. Especially first half which made the match. Snakes at the wrong moment loose games as usual.”
