“First, we spent 2 hours reloading turn 1 again and again and again, but the ball kept disappearing after one particular, critical 1d blitz that just would NOT cooperate! Asked Admin in IRC, restarted game as per CandleJack. But still a waste of time, and a great offensive push by Nightmail. Call it a warm-up scrimmage.

Then the ~real~ game started. A tough seesaw battle, that essentially came down to the 3 RR's for the Delvers vs no RR's for a well skilled and coached Nightmail Team. Two near scores by Nightmail were foiled by bad dice, but the Delvers could only capitalize on one turnover, leaving a 1-1 first half tie.

A Pitch Invasion left more than half Nightmail Stunned on the first kickoff of the 2nd half, leading to a 2 Turn score for the Delvers, but Nightmail returned the favour under far less favourable conditions, leaving the score tied 2-2 midway thru the 2nd half with the Delvers receiving, 4 turns to go for each. Despite suddenly losing 2 men to injuries, and aided by a Blitz, Nightmail held the Delvers back to a Turn 8 Long Pass, but their 1 remaining RR allowed the completion for the last second winning score.

Well played, and well defended, Skinback!”
