“sure, orcs are bashy, but this team didn't look too bashy.

My luck was great, except for casualty rolls, which well and truly shafted me. Two vamps picked up niggles and failed their regens (a habit with this team, who have had a vamp killed and fail its reroll previously).

I was dodging left right and centre, but every fail resulted in at least a KO.

In the second half I was left with 5 men against a full compliment of orcs, but still managed to be enough of an irritant that the ball was on the ground by the feet of my vamp with a couple of turns to go. Of course, a blitz put him down, but a lucky bounce from a failed pass was picked up by one of the few active orcs who could walk the TD in. Three turns to defend, with 3 thralls and a vamp. With one turn left, Nuffle remembers to keep the hate on and fails my vamps GFI, stunning him and letting an orc pick up for the win.

Nuffle can be cruel sometimes, teasing me with an unlikely win, then taking that from me, then denying me the draw at the last possible moment.

Screw you Nuffle, screw you, your dog, and your family. I will be coming round your house and I shall wee in your flowerbed.”
