Played a drive against Alex (9) on my home-made 34mm board.  I kicked to him, as Skaven.  Interestingly, he struggled to reach the other end when he was close to my endzone, so dependent on what demographic GW are going for this might be something to consider!

We were using Cakebowl Day 2 skills, which meant 12 skill points, with a normal being 1 points and a double 2 points.  Lots of block on both sides mostly!

I kicked to him, tried to encourage him to anticipate all of his first turn, looking at how many 2D blocks he can get in, but he wasn’t very keen!  He started his drive with a block with his Rat Ogre – he did have block but still not the best idea.  He then picked up with the thrower (against advice) and fluffed it.

My wolf swooped on the ball, assisted by a guarding wight.  Other wolf held back as a sweeper, because pesky gutter runners are quick.

He killed the wolf with the ball. Regen fail.  Sad times.

Good recovery of the ball, though he did leave a blitz on the ball carrier with a 3+ dodge.  Luckily for him, the dodge failed.

Which allowed him to form a solid cage on his right flank.

I tried to disrupt the cage, but he had numbers advantage by this stage.

He managed to get a decent position, and could have quite happily stalled out for a few turns (and would have done in a tournament!), but it was his bedtime so he scored.

The pitch has now adjourned upstairs with the boys!
