A very lucky escape by the A Dark Knight. Luck well and truly helped me to win this game.

Although my oppponent also had some great luck with pows galore, knocking out my players repeatedly, making 3 Regen rolls to my none, I had the luck when it counted most.

In the second half with the scores at 1-1, I got greedy and went for an extra GFI without a RR before securing my cage. I duly fell and my opponent was all over my ball player. I managed to get the ball away, but within distance of one of his Tackle Wights who was 2 GFI away. My opponent tried for a one dice block to shorten the path to one GFI, (anything but skull woulda been harmless) but he rolled that skull, and rerolled it into another skull to give me a reprieve.

I then ran along the sideline without checking carefully enough, and then saw his Ghoul was within striking distance of pushing me out of bounds! Lucky for me, he failed his dodge and knocked himself out to allow me to run in a very lucky score considering I was down 3 players.

With four turns left, I started with 4 of my starting 11 injured or knocked out (including my Wight who failed a GFI and badly hurt herself LOL) and my opponent pushed deep but in his own words, stuffed it up by grouping a bit too tightly allowing me to apply some pressure on his players who got through.

I ran into his backfield with a Wight with tackle and when his Mummy rolled double skulls on a blitz and used the RR, he had little option left but to try a short pass in the sun (needing a 4) and the pass missed and scattered nicely for me.

I was able to swamp the area and a lucky one dice pow by a skill-less Zombie (I thought I had two dice, but I forgot to check if he had guard) freed up my Wight to blitz with a GFI (no RR) to allow me to then push his Mummy away and make it too hard in the end for my opponent to pick up the ball.

A fun game against a very sporting coach. I certainly did not deserve to win that game, a draw would have been much more fitting. Rematch anytime.
