“Our first loss, alas! But a victory well and truly earned by the Bloody Flag team. Plenty of blood on the field, that's for darn sure. I like to think that, given the natural resilience of the Orcs, we did fairly damn well for humans, giving a tombstone to remember us by.

I do like me those Block-capable Black Orcs. Got my eye on a bunch more of those for my own Orc team. They make for quite a meat-grinder to roll over other teams.

I'm not so convinced that freebooting Zug was a smart move for this match. I think that he boosted our Team Strength up to a level that the rest of the team honestly couldn't sustain. As I reassemble the team (shouldn't take more than one carefully managed game, I hope) I'm going to try to keep focussed on a solid, broad strategy of bringing everyone along together, rather than focussing on stars (whether freebooted or home-grown) as a quick fix.”
