“GLT VI, Forlorn Races: Qualifier 3, Round 2 (got a bye in round 1)

44 TS up, 49% luck with vampires and 8 cas against ... But nothing my wizard and the Lord couldn't fix (and maybe I got some help from a virus too :)).

So, let's start at the beginning. Handicaps were virus (on 3 players: the second tackle saurus, an ag5 skink and a str3, ag4 skink --> great!), Doom & Gloom and Illegal Drugs (Riss with ag4!).

But didn't have too much fun with Riss. The only saurus left with tackle was on a roll. Hit some nice cas, so the Lord had to score early (T5, so 4 turns left for the lizardmen).
The next drive started with a bad kick, but i think that helped me. Snapper tried to score with a rookie saurus, but the Lord could hit him down with some good HGs. A hard attempt for the 2-0 failed though so 1-0 at half-time. But 11 players and a wizard left.

Second half started with another touchback and now the ball went to the blodge saurus. With Riss (strip ball) and my only tackle vampire out already this was going to be tough. Soon I had only 7 players left on top of that, but the wizard came in and got the ballcarrier down after a gangfoul.
The ag5 vampire could handoff to another blodge vampire and I got out of the dangerzone at the right side of the pitch. A snakes eyes in the next turn made the ball loose again though and I got in some trouble.
My last try to get a pow on the blodge skink was a 3d though and I got the ball again. With only 2 turns left for the lizardmen at that time I was hoping to get away from his tackle saurus. It failed at the last turn, but 2 pushbacks, frenzy, 1d: pushback and I was safe. Guild of the Unseen to the next round with only 1 mng!

Good that it ended there though, because OT would have been very hard with only 9 guys left, Lord out, 1 rr left, no tackle ... Lucky at the right times, I guess.

Now with 50K extra to the third round already. Going good for the vampires.

Thanks again for the game, Snapper-T. Was a fun one.
See you again,

Fanatic”
