This was actually too close for comfort, and ultimately was decided by a stratigically placed kick by me, a lot of luck and me seeing that one play to save the game.
Well, the beginning was...slow. Decided to recieve, and the chef took both his rerolls, but that didn´t do much except 1 pair of dub skulls not being rerolled.
He pressured enough, accompanied by weird dice, that I had to throw in t7, while I kinda wanted to leave him no 2 turn option. Well, gerald could´ve scored, if he hadn´t landed on a ghoul-
and killed him!
So, first half, no score, a few bh flings, 1 ko´d, and a bh and the dead ghoul, accompanied by one of his mummies for him.
Second half kicks off and I get no rerolls, but a Blitz! Which I promptly used to try and pressure by blitzing with gerald, putting him further up (and bh´ing some zomb while he was at it, sadly he regenned). It kinda was dominated by mphase from that on, as I was slowly running out of bodies to cover up the fact most flings are bad. So he scored.
And then crazyiness ensued. The kick landed faaaar back, and without the ball in geralds hands from the start, I tried to risk a throw in-didn´t work. Luckily, the scattered pass landed only 1 square away from Charlie Cheese Chocolate, who then actually MADE the pass to Gerald the next turn. From then on, pressure on my lowly cage, which again forced me to throw early, running in with Gerald this time.
I place the kick a bit more back than what´s safe to try and stop his attempt, and well, it worked, the ball being in the endzone
He failed to pick up as he had to reroll a block earlier the turn, so I though "huh, why not block that wight with gerald?" In hindsight, he should´ve been up by travis. But as that guy was rooted, and the loose ball was there, with my opponent only having agi 3 and no rerolls..I realized just early enough to take that chance that I had it. Random fling next to Travis.
Mphase blocks on his t16, tries a vanity pass...
That scattered just close enough to make it viable. My T16, I throw the fling, he lands 1 square after the ball, so I had to make 2 gfi´s after picking it up..and I did.
My opponent sure was slightly insulted by this, but he realized that I had thought of there being a chance seconds before I threw the fling, and I quote:
Is that why you put that fling there?
Well, that´s MD2 being taken care of.
MD3 will be the norse again, and I´m not particularly hyped, but I think I´ll pull through, as this time I can actually afford a 13th, maybe a 14th body alongside the chef. And I can pay back nobby.
