Yeah, I was certainly in a strong position Rod, my opponent said so too. Even if he can get the Dragon in, I can pitch my Swordmasters in too. With the scroll gone, magic is going to hurt. I should be able to finish off the Archers with my Glade Guard and even the Demis have a 1-in-3 of running straight off the table. Not finishing was pretty much down to my opponent. Nothing gamey, he was just a laid back guy and I'm fine with that. As I've said before, it's not the ETC.
So that left us both on 29pts. Whoever could score big in the last game would have an excellent chance of winning the tournament, though there were a couple of other guys in the mix. My opponent drew Warriors of Chaos, a challenge but a match-up with plenty of room for a big win either way. I drew...Dwarfs. Needing a big win. Bugger!
I didn't know it at the time but my third opponent led on 33pts. I needed at least a 12-8 to be in with a shot at first place.
