No Chris, that's largely because of your inability to read.

I played Undead in the last tournament I played:
2 Mummy
2 Wights
4 Ghouls
4 Zombies
3 RR
1 FF
and went 2 wins and a draw (should have won but a ghoul missed the final dodge...) 3-0, 1-0, 2-2 like Grumbledook I prefer the mobility the ghoul offer.

If you want only 2 RR (strange) drop one to upgrade a zombie into a wight and add 2 FF... Your roster 1 thus

Many leagues allow Apoths for Ghouls only.

Here is the edit part- Darkson, doesn't PBEMBBL allow them? Because there is definitely a team that has one!

Personally I would go for
4 wights (if I'm not mistaken, the new rules do allow this, right? No? Oh well...)
2 mummies
2 ghouls
3 zombies

or maybe 1 ghoul and 4 zombies

As you can see, I don't like ghouls. They've always been the first to go...

4 wights are allowed
In a tournament you're less worried about the fate of your ghouls than in a league.

There is? There shouldn't be, as the PBeMBBL is a straight LRB league. If you find the team contact Juergan.

3 re-rolls?
My left testicul!
I was forced to go with a 3 ghoul roster after losing a Ghoul on Thursday. But did I ever actually need 3 re-rolls? once in 6 games. Galling.

I'm with Grumble on this one. 90k is simply too much for a wight. Ghouls are great, esepcially when you get them block.

I like having extra zombies for 13 or even 14 players, and then use them to foul. Even without DP, it's a good tradeoff.

Problem is skills: ideally you'd like Block/PO for the mummies, Block/Sure Hands for Ghouls and DP for one or two zombies. That's 7-8 skills though.
