Just played my first ever Stunty game. Been interested in the Leeg for a while but never created a team due to the lack of teams for it on Gamefinder. Decided eventually 'what the heck', decided to create a team and instantly got a game. Was interested due to the promised violence of the league and wow, it ended up being one of the bloodiest games I've been in.

Kick Off and I "Get the Ref". Always a nice start, though the blood was spilling quickly from blocks that I didn't end up fouling too much anyway as had better things to do with the few players I had left . . . since Turn 1 begins with 2 blocks, 2 BH's on me. Start as you mean to go on, bring it on!
I crowd-push the ball carrier, only to get crowd-pushed myself in turn by a frenzied minotaur. A chainsaw rips through half my team sending them to the KO box, before a well-timed block BH's it.
By the end of Turn 8, not many players left standing on either side, balls been moved all over the place but almost an afterthought and no score.
Second half begins like the first, with the splat noise getting played repeatedly. Two more of mine go down BH again in Turn 1 again, before my next turn is one of the bloodiest turns I've ever played: I make 4 blocks: first two are SI's, third is a BH, fourth is "only" a KO.
One by one the stunties fall down and go off the field, ball goes back and forth but still almost an after-thought, until final turn of the game the last standing Halfling wriggles through for a winning TD.

What's the point of writing this? Well, I lost but had a heck of a lot of fun. My opponent suffered 2 consecutive Niggling injuries and laughed, suffered a third Niggling injury moments later and grinned. The splat noise played over-drive and I haven't had so much fun in a game in ages.
Only ever Stunty game I've played, others in the future may not be so action-packed, but everything I've read about Stunty came to pass. All the promised blood of the little ones got spilt.
Anyone who's ever read others saying that Stunty is fun and thought "I should try that", here is another voice shouting out: Do it!
