“An accurate report from Scarlock.

When the St5 Wolf niggled out at the start of the game, I praised Nuffle. Quite how I was going to contain this monster was my main worry going into this one, and having that headache off of my mind was most welcome. The 13 spp Troll wasn't much of a trade-off, but I was thankful.

The Necro drive in the first half was tight and had good direction, I thought that I'd just about covered the switch, but the remaining Wolf survived a 1db to make a break for the endzone, only to fail the GFI. With both Ghouls out, and the Wights tied up, the greater Orc Ma meant that moving the ball from one endzone to the other was managed without too much trouble. The Wolf BH'ing himself was a lucky bonus.

Second half, and 11 Orcs receiving against a 10-man Wolfless, Ghouless Necro team, and I was relatively confident. Scarlock, however, played excellent defence, and only committed his players to TZ's when he knew his guards could overpower the BOB depleted (the weak point of this team - only one BOB with block at TR 200+ is not nearly enough) green line. Only the lucky dice-rolls that my opponent described kept the score at 1-0.

Overall, the luck meter doesn't tell the story, Nuffle smiled upon the Monsters this day. Scarlock was an excellent opponent, and took the rolls with good humour, that second half exhausted me trying to think of a way through the thick, Zombie line! Rematch is hopefully on the minute the teams put 10 games between each other, and a coach added to the Whitelist.”
