“No-Block League Rookie Tourney, our 4th game, this time against zons and we have no tacklers - here's hoping for lots of POWs :)

We start with a touchback and give the ball to one flesh golem- time to get them some SPPs! This lets us push up in some safety, trying to secure some knockdowns and maybe casualties vs the dodgy little amazons. We score on turn 8 with the ball always secure in our golem's hands having managed 2 badly hurts against and suffered one back (a rookie zombie).

The girls push up one side in numbers leaving us little chance to get near their catcher - we try and blitz with our ghoul alone but he rolls a skull and badly hurts himself! Ouch there goes pretty much our only ball carrier! They score immediately after- wish we had our ghoul right now!

We set up our only agi 3 player (the wolf) to pick up the ball and screen the whole width of the pitch with zombies- luckily as the amazons choose that very time to blitz! They push through some ladies towards the ball, making things awkward for us but we're able to capitalise on an early turnover to get it upfield a bit with our wolf surrounded by a mob of zombies. But the zons set up a lovely blitz that gets them the assist for the girl standing next to our wolf and they get a both-down that leaves our wolf seriously injured! Down to our Ma4 Agi2 players to score in the last few turns! We try our best, a zombie grabbing the ball and shambling downfield with some support but the girls are tenacious and dodge away to knock him down making our last turn effort very very desperate.

We can't pull it off and the game ends 1-1! Good game Temujen :)”
