“The name of the team was familiar, just couldn't place it. Zombosis. Evolving

Turns out it was another wacky evolve team - the first I played had an undead team turn up with no mummies which I wasn't expecting!

Offered my opponent a choice of bashy teams to help him evolve - Dwarf, Khemri, Orc, all no handicap games at equal or less TS so as to make it fairer. He took the Khemri - and instantly I dreaded rain, but the weather turned out ok and I only failed to pick the ball up twice instead of 75% of the game :S

This evolving team turned up with all zombies and I needed to kill off some of the other team so they could 'evolve'... So 1 gang foul later in the first turn and #5 duly splatted. In fact aside from one Zombie regen never worked at all. I wasn't exactly immune either, with 5 of my own guys down for long periods of the game so that the final kick off featured 7 vs 4 players :S

Impressed by the zombie dodging - in that some actually worked, as did a pass. I wasn't so brave - my guys have enough trouble picking the ball up despite two sure hands players. Still, the dice were heavily in my favour - the zombies crumpled and their regen didn't work save the once. Mine worked just fine, good job as a superb hit on a mummy wiped the fella out and would have crippled this team - lose a mummy so early and you may as well start over!

Thanks for game wolfy, I still think you're nuts but you're a fun coach to play and I wish you all the best with the team!
