“This was a Crown of Sand quarter final.

I got first drive, and set about an attempted 8 turn Elfstall. This progressed well, I gave Drinkink a shot at a JU / GFI / needing good dice no scatter possible ball shot to try and suck him in, but he refused (correctly, in my view). I managed to get around the slow Dwarvern defence, and got in in 8. Big moment in T8 as PeteW killed (apo, dead) the Dwarf MA7 ST4 Runner.

CAS started to flow for the Dorfs. When a non SH Strip fail occurred, it became clear that Ingress needed to rely on a OTS, pinning enough Guard to get a ST4 shot, or getting the coin in OT. I sat on my Apo, thinking every SI, but never spent it, instead thinking I'd need PeteW in overtime either way. Perhaps the BH Wardancer would have been a good time, but hey ho. I couldn't stop the Dwarf offence, and when the MA10 Catcher found a 1/9 fail, we hit OT.

Coin won, 2 turner hit with only a heart stopping double Skull 2+ an issue.

Another fun, chatty opponent in this tournament, yey! Enjoyed every game. Dragons will be happy with the level of SI I've taken, but we're still in with a shot. I'm now going to PM Kalimar lots of cash to get me a Wizard! :D

Good game, fun and well played, Sir.”
