"Welcome to B-League" indeed. Three straight draws of which 2 potential wins were lost on Turn 16.

Beastiality have already clinched a lower standing for season 7 than they managed in their rookie season. When questioned why his team had suddenly stopped being able to eke out a win in their sophomore season, Coach Warpstone could only say "karma, Nuffle always gets you in the end" as he walked away rubbing his sore backside.

Game 1 - Home to Frengard Foxes: 1-1

Completely stymied on offence. Double Penetration (the Minotaur) kept eating blitzes with failed wild animal rolls.

I then managed to get 1-0 up and intercept Wedge22 not once but twice (once with the minotaur) AND yet stil couldn't play keep away or score to seal the win. Instead the crafty humans got the ball back and tied it up. The ensuing two-turn drill for me went badly with Reacharound (the Dark Elf) failing animosity on the winning TD pass attempt.

Game 2 - Away to Dead Menace: 1-1

Punkpogoer made the brilliant decision to kick to me and then played a "cover-6" defence for the entirety of the first half. I kept wasting actions by knocking down his flesh golems and he kept standing them up and picking off any downfield marauders with his zone-defending positionals. One particularly stupid move by me saw a rookie marauder get killed on a simple werewolf crowdpush. Oi.

I lucked out on the Necro drive when Punkpogoer was gripped by a moment of elf-sanity and failed a pass to a werewolf around midfield. Scored on turn 15 and left him with only 2 turns to tie it up.... he did. He triple dodged a ghoul (4,3,3), GFI'd and then threw a long pass with another ghoul for the equalizer on Turn 16.

Frack.

Game 3 - Home to Malicious Intent: 2-2

I lost the win on turn 16 here too. However, in all fairness, Dr. Evil completely outplayed me from turn 1. He bashed the crap out of me for 7 turns. But the then a touchback gave my Ogre and Goblin a chance to get some jungle fever going and with every roll resulting in the 3+ or 4+ I needed: voila, one-turn TTM TD!

I was even at the half and that suddenly had me back in the game. A sudden loose ball in the early second gave Reacharound (the Ag5 DElf) a chance to, well, reach around, grab the ball and huck it to a downfield marauder for a surprise score! Sitting at 2-1 with 3 turns for the Orcs to equalize. I managed to pop the ball out of a sideline cage, but it was thrown in three times until the ball was back in the Orc side of the pitch. I really couldn't do anything then to prevent Evil's long pass or the TD on turn 16.

Life's tougher in the big leagues. Powerbowl or Underbowl, here we come!
