“My first soft match in I don't know how long. Badly needed since I had been banged up and was down to 3 mummies. But so far every match against a seemingly weaker team has ended in severe dice rapes so I was not very confident. And stopping 4 gutter runners with 9 slow moving khemri isn't all that easy.

The handicaps were Virus, which took out one of my niggled dirty players, and Buzzing which ended on the storm vermin Project. He didn't get much benifit from it during the match.

No Escape got an excellent start when a poor throw ended with the ball scattering in amongst the khemri, and Shardaz eventually managed to pick it up. The rest of the team did their best to block off the gutter runners and he could run in a TD in T7. The skaven had been forced to play an up close match in their attempts to recover the ball, which had lead to lot of KO's. Unfortunately I couldn't stall to the last turn, so the Box Rats got most of them back.

During this time luck had fluctuated quite a bit, and it would continue to do so. I had of course a great deal of luck in the failed throw and scatter, but I had failed to inflict any cas and stacked up 3*skulls and 2*skull re-rolled into another 2*skull with my mummies.

In the second half there were 9 khemri vs 10 skaven. The Box Rats lined up a perfect kick which landed on my end zone line and then charged for the ball. The khemri landed a few casualties now, but had an awfully hard time picking up the ball. And the gutter runners performed marvellously, surviving beatings, dodging in and picking up balls in front of the feet of the undead and generally look like they would win the match. They scored in T4, leaving the match open for another deciding TD.

It all ended in a great deal of excitement. I again had poor pick-ups and a hard time getting the gutter runenrs down despite 3d blocks, so for a while it looked like the skaven would emerge as victors. But a failed GFI allowed the khemri to secure their tie.

The winnings were fortunately enough for a new mummy and I go into the next match with a full squad.

Thanks for the match, Jake. It was fun! :)”
