“Strange game. No TDs, no injuries. Early on I "killed" his big guy but the apothecary worked. I think it was a foul which I suppose doesn't give SPPs.
It was raining through most of the game which helped keep the score low. I had a single hobgoblin with Sure Hands and he had a beastman with Big Hand so the kick returns weren't too bad.. but neither of us had fast players and there were a lot of fumbles.
Mostly it was a scrum with a lot of jockeying for position to get assists. He had horns, I had a guy with guard, we both had a 4 str guy. He also had a minotaur.
The first half I was able to save the point by forcing his Wild Animal minotaur to make bad blocks. Of course getting into that position might have been what let him get the ball and all of his players so close to my end zone.
The second half saw all sorts of odd rolls, mostly in my favor (but not all). The kickoff resulted in his fans rushing the field and taking out 5 of my players!!! Somehow they were all only stunned (gotta love dwarves).
He got the ball when I failed a critical dodge roll and reroll. He then slowly (very slowly) moved the ball. He finally got the ball carrier to break away and I only had one player who could get to him. Sadly I miscounted and ended up 1 square short when I could have gotten to him at the cost of a dodge roll. So in desperation I tried to bring another player in but it required 3 dodge rolls. He made them all. Then I realized I could have sprinted in much more safely. Oops. Well, he failed his dodge roll and I kept his Big Hands guy down and nobody could pick it up.
Fun game with a lot of action, even if it isn't reflected in the stats. ”
