FUMBBL Smack Scheduled - Brawl III round 2

A game I did not expect to win. Deranged Dead was a well-developed team with a ball-handling ghoul, a ball-stealing ghoul, 2 hard-hitting wights, a kicker zombie, dirty player zombie, and the whole team was anchored by 2 block/guard mummies. They forced us to use the apothecary on an early Badly Hurt. Then I used 2 rerolls on my first two blitzes with Nanna Moonbreaker, perhaps unwisely, hoping to get an early CAS against the exposed wights. However, the rest of the team rallied to slow the advance and the dice turned sour for us both for the remainder of the half. Lots of pushing, and quite a few skulls both ways, plus a sprinkle of failed dodges. We stopped the score with a combination of luck and positioning, but to be fair the opportunity was created by some bad luck on our part. Then the CAS started rolling in and neither KO came back. Starting the 2nd half 10 vs. 7 favored us heavily. A near kick caused us to have to shift to the weak side of the field, but patience and a bit of block luck allowed us to recover the ball and then reverse field. More CAS and we were able to get the ball downfield and sit on the goal line for the rest of the half. Nearly cleared the pitch but for a mummy. Survived the T16 LOS dance and rolled good money.

Thanks for the game, and good luck with the team. Now on to face Purplechest, whom I have never beaten. Perhaps this will finally be my time.”
