Kissed by the Muse recovery game
After getting bashed by Dwarfs in the second round of Rookie Rumble. Kissed by the Muse were looking for a recovery against an equal unlucky opponent.
After some waiting (besides getting a lot of screwed offers to play full strenghts team with a difference of 20 points in team strength), the coach accepted the challenge of Fool's Dark Elve "Dark Ember" Team. (http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=557120)
The dark elves were ready to play with 10 of their players.
The Muse won the toss and received first. Thalia missed the game due to a handicap (It wasn't me), so that 9 amazons faced 10 dark elves.
The dark elve were well prepared and after a perfect defence put all their players on the LoS. The kick off also dangerously bounced towards the dark elve half. I was lucky to resolve the situation by 1d block of my blitzer on the single guard player in the line. After a couple of 2 d blocks I got greedy on a blitzer and thre double skull on a rerolled 1d block. That left me open for some dark pressuring the ball. But the dark elves also threw a double skull, double skull roll that gave me a chance to recover. I got the free moves into safety but double oned a dodge roll right away. The dark elves afterwards got the ball lose by pow/skull KOing both players. Well I recovered the ball and took a bigger risk running it down the field. The dark elves did there best to me, but failed on go for it. So, I scored early in the first half (turn 4).
The kick-off result was a disaster for the Muse. Of the 9 remaining players 6 were stunned by a pitch invasion. The crowd going wild! Due to failed go for it (again) and a subsequent failed pass the dark elves could not capitalize on that result. In progress of the defence my guard blitzer got pushed to the crowd but I could get the ball and took the lead into the second half.
The first half was all about bad dice. And the second wasn't any better, especially for Dark Ember.
Well second half so 8 vs 8 and the Muse kicking and getting an extra reroll. After the dark elves had already received a SI in the first half I received mine right away in the second. Dark Amber's coach decided to go for a risky advancement leaving a 1d block on the ball carrier open on my left side. In the following turn the dark elves again failed a go for it to the endline, this left me with the chance to recover the ball. With some help of nuffle (my dice were improving in the second half) I got to score in the 6th. Now it was 7 Muse vs. 5 Dark Ember. But the Dark Elves could not get the 2 turner but lost the ball again, giving me chance with a completion to skill my linewomen.
Really tough game for Dark Ember, which also received a second serious injury on the last block of the game. I do not know if I even should have gone for that last 2d block...
