“Fun and bloody match. At the very beginning things started poorly. I missed a roll or something and the next thing I knew I was swamped with halflings and minotaurs. Then came the chainsaws. I thought I was going to be foreced to concede the first half.

But in the second half things got better. My Orc Slayers were able to take down his Minotaurs and I ended up knocking them out. I got a bit lucky and was able to take out his chainsaw guys. He, however, was able to slip two halfing into my backfield and take down the blunderbuss. I had forgotten about the "really stupid" ability so it might not have mattered but that cost me a TD and gave him one.

At the end of the game the field was empty except for 4 gnomes and 4 halflings. I had the ball near the EZ and he put some guys in the way. I almost scored but on the last step I failed the GFI (isn't that always the way?). I'm ont sure I played it right. I had to choose between 4 GFIs, a 2-dice block, and 1 dodge roll (with dodge skill) vs a tackle-zone dodge and one more dodge. I had a reroll. Oh wait.. gnomes are stunty! That tackle zone wasn't such a big deal! Grr.. cost me a TD.

Thank goodness the winnings were large! It was almost enough to replace my two dead players. ”
