------------------
A nasty game in the end, though through no intended malice.

My opponent was dice raped bad, though he made it a bit harder for himself to win anyway by using a lot of rerolls on his blitzes with Mighty Blow to try and knock players down that were not essential (but to get a player up advantage) and then having no Reroll when he tried to pick up and/or pass the ball.

This allowed me to pressure him and steal the ball several times.

My opponent also did not play his best game as he was playing two games at once. However with the luck so one sided, it was always going to be hard.

Anyways, he killed my niggled catcher on his first turn, way to early for me to use my apothecary so I let him die.

About 4 turns in, I block his player and cause a niggle (no mighty blow) and his apothecary fails, damn unlucky. Next block, another niggle (no mighty blow). Double ouch. Two niggles from two blocks!

Very late in the game (about T15?) he causes a RIP on my LOS stalwart (Blodge Sidestep Tackle -2MA) and my apothecary fails too. Double ouch, two dead this game.

Low money for both and major casualties for both. Was not the sort of fun game either of us had in mind!

Oh well, not much you can do when the dice are so cruel (very cruel to both of us, but much more so for my opponent).”
