Mwahahahahahahahahaha! Threadromancy at it's best!

Gooooooooood Morrrrrrrnnning Spooooorrtttssssss fans!
After a long break in which we saw the best of the rest play in the league the Sons of Cerberus finally made it back onto the oitch after getting lost in a fog of their own creation! Upon being questioned head coach R. Sin Venger said "It's good to keep the fans guessing".

Well last nights opponents turned up and the crowd went wild as the Caledor United players strutted onto the pitch, this promised to be a doozy, as the last time these two met the Sons pulled of a last gasp equaliser.
The Elves lost the toss and where put on defense, they pranced into position and fluffed their hair into neat little curls n quiffs, before sending the ball deep into the back field. Eager to give the crowd what they'd waited for, the sons set about demolishing the United players, with the ball safely tucked in the hands of Grimp, the rookie Ghoul, the spent the entire half marching up the pitch and removing as many players as possible, the total ejected was 3 in the KO box and a lineman put out for the rest of the game.
The Cocky elves took it all in their stride however and began the second half with a fast paced long pass and touchdown to equalise the score, their coach seemed pleased with how his players slipped through the Sons tackle zones like greased pigs, greased pigs with stunning hair of course!
A miss placed kick however sent the ball straight into Grimps hands, saving him a job, and the brutality began once again. The united players tried desperately to stem the flow of both blood and the offensive drive and spectacuarly failed at both! The fast paced sons players simply switched the point of attack, picking of stray players as they went, towards the end of the half four players once again graced the knockout box, perhaps the most embaresing being one of Caledors star Blitzers, who's silky skills in blocking and dodging couldn't help him skip around a zombie, promptly tripping over and knocking himself clean out. Beside them lay the bleeding and broken bodies of three linemen none fit for the rest of the game, although they should recover for the next outing.
Then disaster struck! just as grimp stopped on the goal line to wave and applaud his fans, caledors last blitzer on the pitch, who's agility surpassed the rest of his team was sent screaming into the dug out after another vicious blitz by ferol, one of the teams Werewolves, he'll be out for the next game with a broken neck, an injury that'll leave his agility hampered. That final action over, Grimp stepped over the line for the winning touchdown!

This game was incredible, Scott's dice, when he got to roll them, was his standard jammy goodness ignoring tackle zones and one dice blocking. The exception being his AG5 Blitzer who seems to have trouble dodging into open spaces. Scott's problem was that he simply didn't have any players to move, my blocking almost always seemed to take players off the pitch, I'd feel sorry for him if i wasn't having so much fun
Giving his AG5 Blitzer a broken neck (-1AG), was also pretty funny!

I had a bunch of players go up, the rookie ghoul gained Block, the wight who had previously had a TD got the MVP and despite rolling a double gained guard. Ferol the werewolf gained Mighty Blow and the second Flesh Golem rolled +1 AG, he took Block instead

So what is the current record with the SoS?

[Toby]

Current record is 2 wins and 1 draw, the draw is the highlight though as I was 2-0 down with four turns left in the game!

[Sedge]

At some point you are going to have to accept a challenge. Your team has been gaining quite a few good rolls on the skill chart by the looks of it, what does your current roster look like noe then?

[Toby]

I dont mind playing you bud, though I'm trying to spread my games amongst WAB ones so I dont get bored with either system.

Current roster is something like this:
Werewolf - Block, Mighty Blow
Werewolf - +1 AV
Ghoul - Sure Hands
Ghoul - Block
Wight
Wight - Guard
Flesh Golem - Block
Flesh Golem - +1 ST
5 Zombies with bugger all

[Scotty]

2-0 with four turn to go but with the same old dilemma of mine, I had no players to defend with

[Sedge]

Thats what I am tryiing to do with WotR and BB.
Blimey you sure do have some good skills. 8 in 3 games!!!! Cripes, I've only managed 2 in two games so far.
7 Linemen, one with Kick.
2 Blitzers with buger all
2 catchers one with Dodge.
One player died last game as well.
Your team rating must be high though. Especially with that many extra players as well. My TR is 111 at mo.
How many RRs do you have?

[Toby]

2 Re-rolls, team rating is 125. So yeah pretty high.
