Empire of Dirt 2-1 Reanimated All-Stars
Basically a 2-1 win vs Dave’s (shoggoth) Necromatic team that was anything but easy.
I had never played vs a necromatic team before (I have played with and against regular undead though) so whats there special thing then, the flesh golem is a week mummy fine can do that ghouls,zombies,wights are all the same ok fine, Werewolves….
…Werewolves are an amazing player move 8 is always very powerfull, frenzy and claws make them a threat to any ball carrier and regenerate just incase is an arse too.
Dave beat me into the floor with kos and a few casulties (luckily non permanent due to my regenerate rolls) He attempted loads of risky (no re rolls no block skill ) 1 dice blocks and it went his way most of the time.
I scored a regulation move down the pitch td he got a crazy ghoul werewolf running passing play td and I then set up to recieve with only 8 players.
he kicks deep I get the ball make a cage he rushes forward loads of players and I am swamped in my back field.
my ball carrier blitzes into the open and then I realise I have no where to go:
There was a tumble weed moment as I realised there was no where to run to
basically the ball carrier runs up to help the nurgle warrior with an assist, and some clever sideways running closed a cage around the back of the ball carrier and a formed a maul and went the length of the pitch to score again (about 4 turns later!) it was my best move in bb for a long time and I would like to think it was from my playbook but it was a we mayas well start a fight and see what happens.
(the play was something like that anyway I didn’t take notes)
So end of the game 50k banked Rotter #10 had scored twice so levelled up and grew extra arms he needed a new name now he was ‘semi real’ the beast got mvp despite disproving the weeble principle (apparently they do fall down alot)so just 1 more ssp gets him a skill….
