I have been Robbed… badly
Well my last three ladder matches were all robberies. Defeat thrust into the jaws of victory, though the Vayl vs Darius battle would have been rather humorous to have won considering I was taking out Darius with shredders and Harriers and needing 14+ on 3d6 to damage him….and he had 5 hits left! It was all looking good with Darius frozen for 3 turns until the question was asked of Vayl who had drifted a little too close to combat…”What is her Armour”, crunch splat and that was the end of Vayl . I do hope Epic Vayl gets a bloody melee weapon!

But the battle before that was just saw horribly wrong it beggars belief. Shae and his pirate scum were getting sliced into tiny pieces, it was a massacre beyond all belief, the VPs were massing and Shae had yet to get a single one, even when the Butcher was knocked down by the bloody Mule he laughed, and he laughed off all the melee attacks that followed, and then he got hit by Bradigan and that hurt, but we killed him next turn. Doc was rushing up with the medical kit, the Mule was engaged, the entire Pirate forced was in collapse.. and then Shae hit Butcher with Blow the man down… and killed him. I must have had 20+ VPs stacked up… and I was killed by a lucky shot from Shae… GAHHH!

Then last week Everblight vs Trolls, last turn, it’s all square with 8 VPS each, just my caster to go, I need one VP, just need to kill a Fellcaller engaged with my Shephard. Bootsted attack. I needed something like a pathetic 11 to hit….and missed…. hit my Shephard…killed her… lost by one VP, on the final attack of the game on my own turn! But as well all decided, it was a gutsy shot, and will be remembered long after a draw would have faded from memory.

On the upside a Khador / Merc shooter 500 gave the Circle a mauling that they won’t forget in a hurry, Khador lost “one” model. And scrappy was the champion of the day, pinning Baldur and then surviving a mass assault by everything that could get to him… and then holding Baldur down. No fear, to spells, good night to the Druid! Too bad it was a friendly match
