“A game where my opponent didn't get a turn ending skull block all game as far as i remember, with 2 rr vs my 5, and mine burning away much faster.
A tough ogre team for sure, but the end result is down to an error on Vanguards' part - things had dropped nice for him to simply run the ball in to score and make it 2-1. Instead he stalled, and a -2db with block vs non block always has a chance (even though I had to RR to get the knockdown). It came off.
Then my 4Ag blitzer fumbled a long bomb, no surprise, and failed to pick the ball up in H2 T8, to quick pass, run, handoff and score, so it's a shame I couldn't punish the stalling, but overall with the way the dice went I am happy with the draw.
Thx for the game - I have stalled before and it cost me a win. I guess it's down to risk calculation - how likely was I to pull off the -2db on the ogre ball carrier with my blitzer?
Block narrowed the odds, and secured me the draw :)
Phew!
Heh, then bad luck cost me the win!
Arrrgh!
Oh well, that's how it goes sometimes :) When you play Ogres you gotta expect cas, and it was a tough game for my guys - think I will give Ogre teams a miss for a while... :) Especially after the last few Ogre teams I played had near perfect luck when blocking, and bone head not so much a problem, though thankfully in this game it slowed the Ogre team down a little.
Unable to cause Cas to the goblins was disapointing though :(
