“I occasionally get lyrical about this kind of thing, so apologies to all.

Bill's a lovely chap to play, but that was our second utterly one-sided dicefest in a row.

What started off as a match that, on paper, slightly favoured the dwarves, seeing as how the orcs didn't have a DP or any reserves, was possibly a legendary blowout for this historically underperforming team.

Single niggled player out for the game? Yes. Lost FF? Yes. End four turns with skulls? Yes.

Trouble is, the last time I played Bill, it was just the same. Last time, I managed 2KOs, and he managed 5 casualties. This time, I managed two KOs (breaking armour four times in total), and he managed six casualties, including two kills and perhaps a dozen stuns.

Last time I had 7MBs and three reserves. This time I had 9MBs and two reserves. Both times, I ended up fielding nine players for the second half against an untouched team.

Bottom line is, this game was a writeoff. It's about fricking time this crappy team played more than a few turns without ending up significantly under-strength in important games. I sometimes have to pretend this team has AV7 just so it makes a bit more sense.

Thanks for the game Bill. I look forward to one where my heart doesn't sink lower every single turn. Hope you enjoyed it; you're definitely fun to play - and apologies for the reloads. ”
