“A good start to the UFL for the High Elves.

(As quoted from the UFL Thread)

These Dark Elf teams are really struggling in their first season in the UFL. Both Dark Elf teams have been hammered by 5 at the hands of the Lizardmen, and both teams have lost a game to their High Elf Cousins at some stage since the UFL was formed.

Tonight the Gloomwood Demons had a torid time with 4 of the 5 TD's coming from their own players losing or failing to collect the ball. A smaller sized squad of High Elves were able to make the critical plays time and again, and avoided getting into a protracted struggle where numbers would have counted in the Demons favour.

The High Elves received and scored fairly typically in 2 turns, but the worst was yet to come. The sheer pace and trickery of the 2 High Elf catchers meant that they were able to repeatedly sack the Dark Elf ball carriers and get the ball away in double quick time. This was compounded by a couple of occasions where the pick-up was fumbled by the Dark Elves and again a quick blitz saw the High Elves in possession again.

I have to give credit to my opponant "Artist" as he did not play badly as I have seen many coaches do, if anything he underestimated the difference in style between the two Elven teams, and left a few half-chances that were just do-able by the MA8 catchers, where as the Dark Elves do not have anything quite the same. The gap between MA7 and MA8 seems larger than one would logicaly think)”
