Third match in the league, and this is some serious opposition, as I'm facing the Necromantic Undead of The Harrowing Legion this game.
High armour, good all round stats, regeneration over the whole line... only securing the ball isn't their thing, but who needs that if you are a solid wall of dead guys. And Bedsheets! He brought bedsheets, and if my ladies like frolicking in one thing, it's bedsheets!
And so we started by rolling some favours of Nuffle, granting me 2 Stiletto's and one of his Zombies ending up with -1 MA due to greasy cleats. We did lose 10k from our treasury though as our accountant misplaced some orders for posters.
As both teams set up, Only Fangs being on the receiving end, some dodgy pregame snacks reduced the stats on both Cat Coxx as well as on Dummyproof the Flesh Golem. And under a light breeze, the game was off for some hopefully decent results against the League leader!
For a long time, the game went up and down, and nothing bar some KO's happened, as neither side managed to force an opening in each others lines. Which with my Claws was very, very frustrating, for some reason against Bjorn I can't seem to roll any higher then a 7 on the AV rolls. It happened today, and it happened past season in both games against his Amazons as well. He seems to radiate some kind of aura preventing dice to fall a certain way...
Though he did score an early casualty, as Stained Bedsheet initially seemed to kill Savien DeMonia, only to have the apothecary rush to her aid. As a result, she did suffer some dislocated fingers and a ruined nailpolish. This means that not only will she suffer from -1 AG (not to dramatic, as she is one of the intended "combat" Beastly Women), but also to miss next game as she needs a new manicure!
Sabrina Sabok then went in like a madwoman, and smashed rockhard into Dummyproof, and while bowling herself over in doing so injured the Flesh Golem. He failed his regeneration and suffered a Niggling Injury as a result. One of our reporters got to learn afterwards that he even was fired from the team for failing so early in the game!
But the pressure of the horrors kept mounting up, not aided by above mentioned failure to break his armour, and soon the Werewolf William was through the lines, the best efforts of my team making it unable to catch up to him unfortunatly.
And he duly scored the 0-1 for the Harrowing Legion, though the good news was that my KO'd ladies all woke up from their little beauty nap!
In the following drive, we tried to pick up the ball and break out, but nothing happened and the referee blew for the half time as we failed to reach his endlines.
The second half started, as both teams had been cheered on by the fans, and more midline rummaging began.
And it soon became a very, very frustating affair for the ladies. Intend on folding the linnen, the mighty Chaos Warrioresses all kept being turned off by just how dirty the opposing bedlinnen was. There was no way they would lay that down and make a movie on top of it.
This resulting refusal (I failed no less then Foul Appearances in a row at this point, AND the Minotaur started raging for two turns in a row to add insult to injury) gave him free play as my team was tied up on the flank.
Stained Bedsheet profitted from this confusion as a result, badly hurting Raven Black as she tried to get through his lines.
In an effort to create some last minute decent play, Katty West rushed into the bunched sidelines, picked up the ball and threw a long bomb to the other side, which wasn't caught initially. But the ball bounced right back in the hands off Cat Coxx.
Unfortunatly, he managed to still reach her and push her over, causing us to loose the ball and the final chances of an equalizer as a result.
Katty West was "thanked" for her daring play by being badly injured by Foul Bedsheet, but the game was winding down as the only chance we had left was to dodge in, throw an impossible pass to Sabrina Sabok and hope she would make the rushes.
But as yet another double skulls block (the 4th this game versus none on the opposing side) happened to make some room, this plan never came round and the game ended in a 0-1 defeat.
So, we lost, and it was frustrating! We failed to pass the armour regularly (some stunned results and a KO is about the best we managed after the early turn injury), and losing a quarter of the game of failing Foul Appearances in a row really ruined the chances to try and break out for the equalizer. But all in all, even though we barely scored any SPP's this game compared to the ocean of points from earlier games (that one casualty and that is it), we came out relatively unscathed.
So yeah, Sabien DeMonia has -1 AG and won't be present next game, but that is about it of side effects we suffered this game, so we are still in an okay spot.

For surviving her near-dead experience, and the fans cheering her so hard on to hold in there, Sabien DeMonia, even though barely having been on the field, was the MVP of the game. Of course, all those camera angles and replays does help in upping the ratings, and when she will be back, she will now also have Block to go alongside her Claws!
I also bought a third re-roll post game, as the miss next game of Sabien kept the team rating down a little for the next game. Which will be either against the Skaven should I not need to fill in at my Spearhead event, or in three weeks against yet more undead in the form of the Shambling Undead team The Graveyard Bullies and their two mummies...
But even after this "non game" of advancements, we are still in 4th place in the League rankings, having played one or two games less then those immediatly around me. This means we are still in a good solid position, and with now 13 points on the counter, I am still on route to the estimated 35 points I expect that will be needed to be sure of qualification.
A 15th team has signed up in the form of a Chaos Dwarf team yesterday, so that means some points adjustments to the prospect might be needed, but we'll see where we are after let's say 7-8 games or the middle of the road...
