Following the helpful advice of some readers of this blog I drop two of my linemen as well as the coaches & cheerleaders... this drops my team ranking down to 130 setting me up well for my next match against Robbo44's Vampire team 'Puncture Wounds'.
I began on the defensive & I played very passively... always keeping as many players as possible free in the backfield. The LOS battles don't go particularly against me either as we share a KO each.
As he wears away at me (mostly on the right but always threatening elsewhere especially on the left) the various battles become more desperate but mostly go my way (4-3 in casualties to my favour midway through the half) but all awhile the clock keeps ticking.
By turn 6 he hadn't passed the half way line and every move of his had been countered. In turn 6 he begins to make risky plays & that's when he fumbles the ball & i almost recover. This effectively ends his drive & it looks that for the first time ever I'm going to defeat a whole eight turn offensive drive!
Better yet it started to go my way physically, 6-3 in casualties for me (i also knocked another thrall out of bounds later) and this allowed my blitzer to recover the ball & almost run it in for the score... but I'm blitzed by a desperate vampire move.
0-0 half time!
The second half began with the vampires down to seven players & after the initial LOS battles that soon became six!
I'm gonna win!
I soon begin to form a massive nine player cage with an orc blitzer shooting off all on his own down the right.
A clever thrall blitz does dispossess my ball carrier just before the cage is closed shut but the ball lands in the middle of the cage. Soon after, the cage is made much more secure & the ball reclaimed.
TD beckons unless the vampires pull off something amazing.
They kinda do & with help from a clever hypnotic gaze they break into the cage & KO my ball carrier but I thankfully soon recover again with an orc blitzer. Time is ticking though, surely I can't have my win stolen?!
Turn 6 featured me finally smashing a clear hole through the thinning vampire line & breaking my ball carrying blitzer towards the endzone.
I score the game winning TD on turn 7!
