There is an image below that may take a few moments to load.
It was a game of Bacon (as it must be for the Wightblast) on Twister. The ball was the Cloudkill ball from vinylrake's Balls of Death tagset. The effect of that is that when the ball is jiggered, it can emit a red cloud that fairly rapidly reduces the health of living units who inhale it. You've seen that cloud in some other 3rd party units (I think a fetch throws it out on that ffa map based on Creep... A Bombing on the Wall, mb?)
I got four wights, sending two toward mid in order to sink in one of the ponds that ring the middle hill, which is a plateau, and sending the other two to a pond between mid and the map's SW corner.
I managed to get to the ball first. I dumped it off of the cliff from mid (mid is elevated) with a Trow, which inhaled too much of the cloud, got really stoned, and nearly died*, and then used a soulles to push it the rest of the way into the mid pond containing two of my wights. Soulless, being undead and unbreathing, aren't hurt by the Cloudkill's toxicity. I figured I'd let it sit there for a few min to get everyone used to the idea that the ball was stuck mid, then try to blast it to my other waiting wights in the other pond.
With about three min left, I let loose with the first Wightblast. It sent the ball absolutely perfectly into the pond where my other two wights waited. Omg was I delighted! I planned to use the second set of wights to blast it to my remaining units as time ran out. Bidness as usual, there -- and it worked! With time running out, I set off the wights and popped the ball over to my waiting units. GG! Two Wightblasts in one game. Oh, man. I mean, man, oh, man.
That game had lank, Knight Hawk, Shadow Knight (Myrd), Miltiades and myself in it. Very fun game, guys! I am glad we were together to share in this historic moment in the world of the Frumious Wightblast.
I beg your pardon for the quality of this animated gif. There are so many frames that, in order to make it a decent Mb size for downloading, I had to make it tiny and horrible-looking. I wish you could see it in all of its glory right here, but you can if you check out the film, see below.

To view the film, you'll need to get vr's Balls-of-Death_v1b (a mere 2.4MB), and Twister v 1.3 (4.5Mb) -- both available from the OoH BattlePlan at orderofhpak.com ( http://www.orderofhpak.com/BattlePlan.php ). Both are well-worth having, too.

Frum you've posted WB's on the MWC07 forum that got lost, and more interestingly writings about them, you really should gather all of them up someplace on the web for me to read sometime.

Wait, yeah...it was MWC07 forums that wrote over MWC06 wasn't it. Yeah, I remember now. Though I just saw the MWC06 forums got put back up. They were dead at least a year. Wonder when that happened.
