“Black Box Brawl CC Round 2:

Going up against 8 ogres would be a tough task for Nigromancy, the 800k in inducements certainly helped to steal some RRs, pickup 6 str Ramtut and the two babes ensured that our KOs kept reliably returning... Which was crucial.

Going in, the strategy was to take out the snotling scorer and try to eliminate as many ogres as possible due to their niggling injuries. That plan worked to perfection with werewolf Max putting his Claw+MB+PO to good use, causing 6 casualties!! Despite that, the ogres put up a heck of a fight.

On defence in the first half, with a couple gfi's in a blizzard we managed to take out the snotling ball carrier... After knocking down the 4 ag ogre on ~T6, we felt confident that we'd enter halftime 0-0 but the loner snotling scooped up the ball and ran off, managing a gfi to score the TD and go up 1-0 at the half.

In the second half, we pushed for a quick score due to a player advantage... The ogres made a great play to position their 6 str tentacled ogre adjacent to the ball carrier ghoul... That left us with only one option... the famous ZOMBIE DODGE! The zombie successfully dodged on a 4+ (with RR, that wasn't needed) allowing us to get a 1 BD hit on the massive ogre... We successfully brought him down which allowed the ghoul to run off and score.

We put on a late press to try and get the winning TD in regulation time, but with some nice moves the 4 ag ogre nearly completed a pass in the blizzard to an open ogre who could have ran off to press for an ogre victory, but the pass was intercepted! The ogres recovered nicely, managing to bring down the ball carrier after we were unable to knock the 6 str tentacled ogre out of his TZ.

In OT, we had very significant player advantages, the ogres received but we quickly were able to surround him and bring him down, the blow dealt by a 4 BD hit from the 4 str wolf, who then scooped up the ball and scored the game winning TD.

Given the fact that Max caused 6 casualties vs. 11 players, the match was still challenging due to a very well-coached ogre squad. Best of luck with the team!”
