Woodies Defeated by Necros

The Asrai Arachnids have gone down to the Red Riding Hood Rockets 3-2.

The Arachnids took an early 2-0 lead, with the Rocket's still suffering from Nuffle's attentions.  The Rockets pre-game sacrificial offerings paid off late in the first half though, and the Rocket's luck took a turn for the slightly better, giving them enough good dice rolls to score three unanswered Touchdowns over the remainder of the game.

While not thrilled with the result, I'm pleased with the team's overall performance, playing as they were with no Wardancers in the side.

Cheers to Beldenox, who played stoically despite Nuffle's care and attention in the first half, and ended up coming away with a good win (I'd really hate to face the Rockets with Nuffle on their side, as they would be hard to beat).

The replay will be available on Cablevision shortly.

Cheers,

P.S. Phreaks, if the winnings bug is fixed, I'll have two Wardancers against you next round.  We want to be the first team to defeat you this season!

<edit> I forgot to mention that I was setting up to score a one-turn Touchdown in the last turn of the game to level the scores, but a Riot knocked over the only non-Stand Firm player on the line of scrimmage, denying me the chance to set up a one-square chain push to move my MA 9 Catcher into scoring range.

As fate would have it, the Catcher ended up with the ball after the kick-off, decided "the hell with it", and ran hell for leather towards the end zone, making three extra distances with no re-rolls, only to end up one square short of scoring the equaliser.  He was heartbroken...  :-D
