“PREMIER LXXXIV


Game one: Crazy Beard Express.
my 1590 Helfs vs 1610 Chorfs. Lots of Guard/MB, a Claw guy, Freak bull, BT Bull, surehand hob.

Insane pitch invasion saved the line and gave me a free shot at the ball. Guard in, strip, bit of a rough scatter but just set up a cage and ... snaked the GFI on Fred into a serious concussion. Their next turn removed Gary and killed Mark. Great start to horror start in one turn.
Spot of luck, I bagged their surehand hob, and then the rest of the half was just me getting smashed as I desperately tried to give myself a chance for a late turnover play. 5+ dodge was not on.

Then they Blitzed and 1d powed the unlikely 1-turn play. So, 0-1 at the half, but at least Gary came back, and with 8 vs 12, figured I best just two-turn and hope to get one more player back for the Gary and Dave show. Riot helped too, 1-1, six turns to go, they failed the pickup, with the ball bouncing to just eight squares away from Dave. Woop woop.

They had lots of chances from there, but it was a run of fails and pushes that ate all their RRs for them, and Gary dodged it in Turn 7, everything I needed worked just well enough, fails of mine were null plays. So 2-1, then game over, with no RR, the hob pass on their two-turn was just not to be.

1/0/0, 5 points, top start. Rolled a Gaurd lino to replace the dead Guard catcher. Bought an Apo.
Next Game, Lizards.”
