Zee team<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe first game was against Joachim\u2019s Judwan team, the Long Arms. I took the Home player position and managed to score three points in the first rush \u2013 one intrepid monkey evading and weaving between the defenders. More monkeys swarmed onto the pitch and the Judwan failed to Feint the Zee out of the way to clear a bonus strike.<\/p>\n
Third rush, the monkeys stole that ball but didn\u2019t count their actions properly \u2013 they sat up in the sidelines. The Judwan responded by mobbing that player but leaving the ball where it was.<\/p>\n
One daring Zee punched a Judwan in the back (with assistance) and actually knocked them out for three turns! Lots of lovely experience points. On the other side of the pitch, the ball-carrier evaded two Judwan masterfully, getting to the three-point line, and missing. With coaching dice. And two re-rolls. But the ball was as far from the Home goals as it could be. The Judwan responded by setting up a perfect passing chain, which got the ball all the way to the potential point-scorer who\u2026 dropped it. Even on re-rolls.<\/p>\n
The shot-misser redeemed themselves by punching a defender and not only turning them around (as expected) but also knocking them prone! This left the 4-pt hex undefended, ready for another Zee (with help from a card) to sprint to the bonus hex and throw all of their coaching dice into it\u2026 A score! Surprising landslide win for an undeveloped Zee team in only turn 7!<\/p>\n
Two lucky Zees got advancements \u2013 Extended Interference and Skill. So that\u2019s a target on at least one back. I bought an eleventh clone with the winnings and hopefully in the next game will get a player more able to push defenders out of the way. I don\u2019t think it will be as easy as the Judwan in the future\u2026<\/p>\n
Thanks Joachim, that was a great game!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
So throughout this pandemic, a few clever people have been setting up online Dreadball events. The Tri-Star League is run by Sam Lowrie, and I had such a blast in the second season with my Neo-bot team that I finally managed to finish painting them! Since the pandemic continues and face-to-face gaming gets harder I … <\/p>\n
