“The Rats were feeling brave, so the next opponents were the mighty Ogres.
The game started well for the Rats who could do no wrong, including the first block killing a Goblin and at the end of the first turn their luck was 100%. They scored the next turn and then reluctantly handed the ball over to the Ogres.
On the Ogre drive the Rat armour, which had held up so well in previous games began to fail, and Rats were carried off in their droves. They managed to hold their defence together, but lined up as only 7 Rats for the second half.
The first half was painful, the second half continued to be so, but the Rats defence held ruggedly, with the help of some lucky 1D and 2D against blocks. Near the end of the game, with 6 KO'd, 2 BH, 1 SI and 2 Dead, the 2 remaining Rats took advantage of some bad luck on the Ogre side, stole in took the ball and threw it down field, away from the Goblins, running downfield next turn to collect the ball and score.
A fun game, a fun opponent and a nice win, but it was very close and for the Rats, painful.”
