“It was truly one for the record books. The game? No, I mean Mez's rant about his luck.
It was far from unjustified, however. The game started with a blitz in my favor and his whole front line going down. AV 8? What's that? That set up a long, back and forth battle of incompetence. He'd pull off a brilliant, completely impossible play and then fail the last roll. And the reroll. Then I'd try to pick up the pieces and fail the roll. And the reroll. We spent 3 or 4 turns doing this until I finally broke through (with the ball, even!) and scored to end the half.
While all that was going on (more accurately, before that was going on, as we both learned quickly that the ball is a dangerous thing to touch), the girls had the puny man-things thoroughly hurting. Only one CAS but the KO box was filling quickly and I got a whole mess of stuns, which only made things easier. By the second half, Apocralypse Now had used their apoth on that damnable STR 4 thrower and still were down 8-10 on set up. I can think of at least one turn in which the only players standing had ovaries. The rest of them were close.
I managed to score in 3 or 4 turns after a close encounter on the bottom side and that left the game pretty much out of reach. The desperate last drive easily could have scored, but didn't.
Thanks for the match, Mezir. Sorry your luck was craptacular but I hope you enjoyed yourself anyway. I did.”
“I was one 2+ with re-roll away from TD, then a 3+ with RR, then a 4+ with RR, then I could have secured the ball easily with my ST 4 Thrower with a 3+ dodge... With re-roll. Needless to say it failed every time. The failed dodge even seriously injured my thrower.
It was a silly match, and it wasn't just my luck which sucked enormously. However, with a Blitz against KOing two of my players and stunning two others... There was not much for me to do, while Mojo had pretty much his entire team for the whole match.
Thanks for putting up with my whining. I do enjoy a good swear at the dice, probably a bit too much, heh. Still, I'd have prefered to have some luck with the ball in at least one of my two starting Invitational matches...”
