Guild Ball (#28): GlogCon 2017 Tapper vs Ballista

The tournament organizer for Guild Ball, Martin, had brought an Engineers team that I wanted to play against. I was got totally beat up the last time I faced Ballista, time for another try!

My Plots are Composure, Field Dressing, and Who Are Ya? Tapper kicks and we begin.

Turn 1

Tapper: 3, Scum: 1, Friday: 3, Hooper: 1, Spigot: 1, Stoker: 4
Ballista: 3, Mother: 1, Compound: 0, Hoist: 4, Ratchet: 3, Velocity: 2

Shots from Ballista and rough ground slows me down... Stoker manages to set him on fire and deal some damage, though, taking him down to 13 already. Tapper is at 12.

Turn 2

Tapper: 3, Scum: 1, Friday: 3, Hooper: 1, Spigot: 1, Stoker: 4
Ballista: 3, Mother: 1, Compound: 0, Hoist: 4, Ratchet: 3, Velocity: 2

Turn 3

Tapper: 6, Scum: 1, Friday: 0, Hooper: 1, Spigot: 1, Stoker: 4
Ballista: 2, Mother: 0, Compound: 2, Hoist: 4, Ratchet: 1, Velocity: 4

Velocity scores, and I take out Ballista. 4-2 to the Engineers.

Turn 4

Hooper takes out Velocity before she can activate. Stoker and Velocity are also taken out. 6-6 now!

Hoist gets the ball off Spigot, and then Ballista scores a legendary goal. 10-6 to the Engineers!

I time out at this point, and it is over! Final score is 12-6!

Post Mortem

The Engineers have a huge toolbox. Good control, good at getting the ball, a ton of defensive abilities. I definitely need more games against this! Martin is clearly a very good player, I need more practice if I am going to beat him.
