“The Greenskins hade some lousy coaching and failed to score (and justly so) in the first half and only prevented the dwarfs counter-attack in the last turn of the first half.
The second half proved to be even tougher than the first with a steady and deadly stream of little dwarfs pulling up the sideline. The ballcarrier was stopped just before he could score and then the ST 4 Orc blitzer picked it up and made som insane dodges up the pitch. Then he got knocked down again, only to come up with some new nifty ball-handling and running skills. This made for a first TD.
Then the dwarfs had only 2 turns to score (which as we all now is not very long in dwarf-metric) and by betting all on one card and some unlucky rolls (all the RR's where out) the orcs were given another chance to score and they did.
A tough battle which I didn't think would come out my way after some bad coaching. from my side in the first half. Few injuries and few permanent ones. The only one came from a little dwarf trying to knock over my ogre, getting a bad beating himself... so it was somewhat self-inflicted.
Ug is a good sport and a good coach. He did not whine a bit when I had to reboot due to computer problems. Would play him anytime again. (Guess the Defenders need a recovery game though).
