“I am the greatest Handicap deprived me of one of my two best players from the start - I was hoping for something useless like palmed coin (like I normally get) but it t'wasn't to be.
The first half was a cascading shit shower for both teams from on high. The Caesars had little or no problem dodging all through the game, and I struggled with breaking armour till the second half, so that I wasn't sure If I was playing vs Elves or Dwarves :S
Thorpe_Star got the break he needed after 6 turns of boxed up mess in the middle of the field. Picking a punted/guarded ball up in a TZ after a successful block, dodging, passing (catching in TZ), dodge, gfi twice, and hand off secured his score with a series of 4s and 5s on the dice, no rr required. At the time I was pissed off - after a half of ineffectual blocking to see an opponent get all the breaks was... unsettling.
Still, TS set his players up, they were ready to go for it and fortune favours the ...ah... favours someone or other - that move weren't brave, it was insane, and saw the Caesars go 1-0 up into half time.
I finally got my breaks by popping a couple of the Caesars' players armour, getting the ball downfield and running it home early in the 2nd half.
When I nailed the Caesars unprotected ball carrier from the kickoff (after they'd split my defence wide open down the middle) another dodge and blitz threatened to scupper my plans, but a failed GFI allowed me to hand off and run the clock down with my ST4 blitzer making rude gestures from the End Zone line.
A late meaningless foul from Thorpe annoyed me some, but it's all part o the fun - there was some smack talk, crazy moves, a mess of a scrum and several injuries, none lasting, which I'm glad of, so after a crappy start for both teams, this game ended up having it all.
Cheers for the Game TS - I hope you do well in the tournament - you deserve to, as I see nothing wrong with your play, save for relying on crazy dice every now n again :)
I used to do that, but so many games of abject failure leaves me playing it safe more often that not - and seeing the dice fail when I try to do that as well :)
Cheers

there is no joke when we say the first half was a downright mess, one ball stuck in the middle of 14 blood thristy players, 7 a side, believe me i was struggling, but luckyly the dice help me :)
i must admit that MG was extremely unlucky to see me preform one of my well known miricles
1 dice blitz
pick up on a 4
dodge on a 3
short pass to catcher in a tackle zone
picked up on a 4
dodged on a 3
one gfi for the handoff
handoff on a 3
2 gfi's to nail the score
he was definatly pissed off when he saw that, i was just shocked!
very true second half nuffle was against me, first turn saw 2 very nice KO's on the front lines (didnt do me any favours) and then just watching the rams run past me, ball in hand, making a mockery out of my players, ah well, they were all beaten up by this point
during late 2nd half, i crushed his center defence, and charged my ball carrier up the field, unfortunatly he was all alone, and only ST2 catcher, which quickly saw him down on his knees
soon after the ST4 problem got the ball, at this point i knew my chances of winning had slipped, but it happens, we all know it!
the late foul was by no means mean, i actually thought he would score leaving me enough time to level the game, and i wanted players out of the way, plus he SI my catcher, and it was the catcher that got the payback
Thanks for the game MG - you do deserve to win this more than me, and your play was far better, i just got lucky, it was skill that won you your match
im trying to play safe, but i just cant do it, thats not my style!
Thanks
