“I think the number 8 position is cursed. We brought in our second Maahk Owain, he had 2 previous games and 2 SPP to his name ... and then he got killed. I was more upset about Yok'oh Oh-No losing some mobility to a smashed ankle late in the game (with the apothecary being no use whatsoever - a smashed ankle turned into ... a smashed ankle).

Otherwise, not as brutal as I'd feared. I won the coin toss and against a team with less claw, mighty blow and guard, I might have kicked, but I figured I needed something to limit the damage. First half nobody got hurt and we managed to knock out a few players, but I had to score a turn earlier than I wanted to rather than dawdle on the touch line and then get smashed to bits.

Luckily Chaos Chosen blockers aren't that fast or agile, so an attempt to equalise before the half ended in a fumble. And then came the second half, a hell of tentacles, ST5 players with Guard and elves dropping left right and centre. At least it was only a draw, and at least most of the Chaps live to fight another day. Good game, made me think. Or made me realise I'm not thinking hard enough.

On to the next great adventure...”
