“The match swung at the end. Toombs was perhaps made to pay for giving me 2 easy surfs earlier in the half, which kept the numbers competitive as my players got knocked out and hurt left right and centre. With those 2 extra ghouls, he'd have had the pace and strength to prevent the kind of 2d hit that killed his star wight. There were also a few questionable rerolls that likely bit Toombs, since the critical blitz of the match required a flesh golem to be brought down. It remained standing and the ghoul with the ball was forced to dodge into a tackle zone - it fell and was seriously injured. I got a few nice dice, and the wolf ran away to score the winner.

Remarkably I had to play the majority of the game without the super star wolf, hurt very early on (damn that niggle). With no wights, when the ghoul got hurt and left me with ma4 and an unskilled werewolf for the remaining 10 turns, I threw my hands up in the air - there was no chance, I thought.

After complaining to Nuffle quite vociferously - although hopefully in a good natured way, perhaps Toombs has an opinion on that though - he delivered the goods by striking down Toombs in the final 3 turns. It was harsh and, given the situation at the start of the 2nd half, Toombs can feel very aggrieved not to have been victorious.”
