The Wigan Wargames Summer Blood Bath is now underway with Alex’s Nurgle team taking a stranglehold on Group B with some teams yet to throw a block in anger.
Last week saw him beat Dave’s Reanimated All-Stars 2-1
This week it was the turn of the Springfield Silverliefs to feel the hot, fetid breath of Nurgle upon their delicate faces.
The Silverliefs gambled on a thrower in their starting squad (not entirely neccessary with Woodies) rather than a lineman and an apothecary and saw their Wardancer sidelined about 4 turns in. Coupled with burning solitary re-roll in the first action of each half led to an uncomfortable and bruising experience. The Silverliefs tried to win the game at the death with a silly move and saw it backfire (a crazy dodge-pass-dodge). Alex ran in a last turn TD to win 2-1.
Ste’s Orcs were less than bashy in the other game of the evening, in fact decidedly wimpy as Russ’ skinks continually put them on their backsides to record a 1-0 win, lifting The Lustrian Lounge Lizards to the top of Group A at this early stage.
Andy had the man-flu, but battled through it in true hardcore Scottish fashion to run through a friendly game between Paul and Jake. Paul is entering the fray as is Aaron, so the groups will grow to 6 teams.
