“Grotty Little Tournament VI, round 1 (last 16)

Handicap: Bribe the ref
Both nigglers (Orodreth and Alastair Razorleaf) played.

The Nandorins started with a 2 turn score, which also led to the ejection of our bomber. We delayed our scoring of the equalizer until turn 7 - i meant to drag it to turn 8, but my poor coaching wouldn't allow. Fortunately, kfoged's oneturner failed - thanks to a snaked pass roll of all things.
The second half started out with good casluck for us, hurting two High Elves on the LoS. This made the elfstalling much easier for us, and still the Nandorins came very close to counterscoring, most notably on turn 5, when the bomber - freed of the two wardancers marking him - busted the cage and knocked the ball loose. Fortunately, Ranal screwed up the scoring pass (4+ with re-roll).
A second good shot came with wizard, whose bolt just missed cage-guard Pola Pomegranate and stunned the ballcarrier instead! Luckily we caught the scattering ball this time, so the Nandorins could not profit from it.


Good game, kfoged, it was an honour to play the renowned Nandorins.”
