“I'm still struggling in how to master my Ogres and this SMACK was no different apart from the fact that I had to fight against the odds of dice in the end as well.

Didn't play my best and especially my initial defence was half hearted, and I saw 2 Ogres leave the field before the half was over - a half in which I was left a chance to score with 3 turns to go. Bone Heads and a questionable tactic however resulted in me entering 2nd half 1 TD down compared to my opponent.

2nd half Opened with a Blitz! for my opponent and while the impressive Mino managed to BH on a double skull the Blodge catcher also managed to catch the ball in the process - the rest of the half I had to struggle with a lack of POWs on him as well as an impressive amounf of successul -2d blocks by the opposing players that more often than not ended with my Ogres on their backs; the last couple of turns after a failed catch by a blitzer were followed by me blitzing down the Blitzer (oh the pun!) followed by him -2d blocking my Ogres down (stunning the 1st), picking up the ball and run for the EZ - again followed by a blitzing Ogre, Knock down, Blitzer blitzing, knocking down Ogre, pick up the ball, GFI, GFI score - and game over.

Well I still had 3 turns left but while the attempted TTM TD was helped along by a Bad Kick the result was enevitable and I lost - though the final result was more scorning than I had feard =)

Best of luck in the rest of the tourney, mate, and see you some other time!

Cheers,
