“Yeah, I snuck in the Count, no denying it! First time used with this team as I had 170K and a noob Ghoul already. My use of him was very poor in the first half. I just used him as a Blocker for like 6 turns lol.

I was still rusty as and made plenty of noob plays amidst periods of remembering how to play well. I forgot to blitz on my opening drive, I took a 3+ dodge instead of a 2+ etc.

What saved me was the Count, a string of lucky injuries in the first half (to apply the defensive pressure) and some early ball handling errors (failed rolls) by my opponent.

His sucky dice on fouls and blocks helped too - he got a couple of KOs and a heap of stuns at best, whereas I got 3 and plenty of KOs - including one on his Troll that took away a chance of a TTM draw when he didn't wake up for turn 16. Oh, there as also his failed apoth on his RIP which took out his only Blitzer with Tackle - a key player against my Blodge Werewolves and the Count.

Certainly a fun game against a fun opponent. I'm sure it would have been a draw or a loss by me if I hadn't hired the Count even with the dice going my way!”
