“WIL Fringe warm up game (essentially).

Our new undead face DukeTyrion's 1-game skaven. They managed to lose a GR while skilling up two others (blodge.. egads) in their last one.

We kick and immediately a dirty stinkin cheatsy rat fan throws a rock in that stuns one of our mummies. Bah! They use the space created to KO our nearby wight and then run the ball into our backfield in a GR's hands. A rookie ghoul gets the blitz in, but even with a reroll we can't knock over the ballcarrier- merely placing him between 2 players. He goes for the 3+ dodge... and fails! We steal the ball and then a couple zombies go to town on the linerats marking them- one scoring a KILL (apo fail + free zombie!), the other a badly hurt. The gutter runners are swarming and we can't hold them in, as they knock over the ball several times. Finally they capitalise on a key turnover to steal it and score on turn 5 with all rerolls burnt up.

They kick and when our ghoul can't pick up the ball first turn, they sprint a blodge GR through to steal it! Once again we can't find the POW and can only surround him... but again he fails the 3+ dodge! Fortunately they only have 2 GRs nearby and so can only manage a 1d counter blitz which only pushes our ghoul and we run it upfield - after a crafty and fortunate turn 8 managing an equaliser! 1-1!

We receive the kick with 11 vs just 7 rats, forcing them into early heroics to try and get the ball that come to nothing. Just as we get the ball through into what LOOKs like a safe spot (despite dropping the quick pass), the gutter runners show what they are made of, one managing some 6ish dodges to grab the ball in a tackle zone and go for the long bomb to his partner downfield. But wait- our mummy has intercepted the pass!! We slowly amble him forwards over the next 5 turns while the skaven keep going for dodges and -2d blitzes that fortunately just can't get him over and he scores on turn 8 to give us the lead.

They go for the one turn attempt, but knock over our zombie one square short of putting their GR in range of the endzone. GG DukeTyrion! 2/0/2 between us now :D”
