“Lustrian Challenge VI Qualifier III Finals:

The Dark Elves came in as the favorite and spent money to give each side a wizard. The Dark Elves took the ball first and pushed hard towards the endzone with the idea of a backfield stall as I left one side of the pitch open. Not really wanting to keep the wizard for our offensive drive, we took a chance and used it on the ballcarrier - John Little raced through and make the pickup. Unfortunately, we left ourselves vulnerable to the surf. The DE went for the 2d with RR instead on the ball, but came up short. We escaped and pushed downfield - but we underestimated the elf swarm and got bogged down. We did CAS Mr. Happy on turn 8 which helped for the second half.

Second half, we took the ball and the elves used their wizard...snatching the ball - we managed to get Jason Killer next to the ball...the elf managed to escape tentacles, but failed against the diving tackle - and we recovered the ball - at this point, too few elves remained to stop us and we marched in for the winning TD.

Fun game - with the main strategy revolving around when to use the wizards and then how the dice fell in the critical turns right afterwards.

Thanks for the game!”
