“You'd think my 1420 ChD vs 1280 Chaos would have somewhat of a chance especially when no cards are bought.

Nope.

Even without a minotaur the Chaos had no trouble slapping me around, because Claw. On top of that, they received first half, giving themselves the chance at first blood so I couldn't recover numbers-wise. Lost a Chaos Dwarf first turn (0 spp, so no apo for him!) and lost my leader centaur (Apo'd from a kill) then my OTHER centaur (2 spp, ANOTHER kill) and most of the others didn't fare too much better. After he splattered the pitch with me I just tried to get injuries in where I could.

Second half was a 9 on 11 mess with me receiving, trying to score quickly so as to at least turn it into a 2-1 grind, maybe Nuffle would reverse fortune and stop sleeping with Nurgle when it came to my rolls. Nope. I made the mistake of stalling one turn too long and the beastmen caught up with me, BHing the other centaur at the midpoint of the half. Ball in their endzone and everything. Then the dice flipped fortune for the brief-est of times, and I manage to score late to lock them down in a 1-1 tie.”
