“Win number 50 (78 games) for the creaking undead.

This was to be a full-fat encounter, with the Orcs hiring a loonie with a dead rotting hand on a stick (aka, a Wizard), and the Walking dead getting on the phone to their old friend Luthor.

The game started violently, and so it was to continue. The orcs scored in T4, after using a fireball to free their blitzer from the friendly embrace of a mummy.

With 4 turns to equalize, things looked good for the undead, until the blitz arrived. This made things difficult, but they eventually slipped the ball to the Vampire, who dodged free and passed to a waiting ghoul, who scurried off downfield to make it 1-1 at the break.

The undead, receving in the second half, and 1-1 tied, took up their usual strategy when in this position and set up the bump'n'grind. This worked well until T13, when a remarkable series of dodging orcs and two 2d against blocks get the ball off the vamp and into the hands of an orkish blitzer. Unfortunately for the orcs, he was surounded by undead, who beat him into the turf and got the ball to a waiting wight.

2-1 T16, and game over? But no - injury time ruled by the ref, and the orcs have 2 turns to score vs 7 undead (heat stroke). However, thank nuffle, they failed the last handoff (albeit to a skilless lineorc standing next to a mummy).

GG ranger, and well played.”
