“Not seen many luck scores like that at the end of a game, with consistent near success all game for both teams. Lack of block didn't hurt the Ogres until into the 2nd half, and even then they KO'd a few of my guys, whereas I didn't thin out the Ogre team until mid way through the 2nd, before finally dropping them to 2 players and running out of time to knock the rest of their guys about. That makes a change for me - over the last few games I have battered from pillar to post by Ogres, and feared this would be another of those.

Duzrugs' lads lost their last gobbo and slipped into foul mode when I stalled - I saw no point in thinning the numbers in the KO box then giving them a chance to come back on, so the fouling is understandable - I'd intended to nail an Ogre with a +5 foul in return but he suffered a BH instead - better result for both though at the time my blood was up for something nastier - and another time I chose a crowdsurf instead of a knockdown for another ogre to pay back for an earlier foul.

Other than the lively 2nd half, the game was a plodding rushing affair, with both teams embroiled in a mid field scrap, and the plucky goblins almost putting an end to a scoring drive which needed 2 GFI to run home in the end thanks to fine positional play by Slarsen.

2nd Half the lack of rerolls came back to haunt the Legion, but I only counted something like 3 turn ending block failures for the Ogers - not bad seeing as they had 1 RR, no block skill and and threw 39 blocks to my 48, and my side had block almost all the way through, near enough, giving me some confidence with the -2db I threw.

Decent game all in all. Sorry about the niggles Slarsen - you played well, and if your luck had extended to the TTM coming off, the game would have ended different.

Cheers.”
