“fun game against hEder_01's high elves. The ogres never managed to punch their way to a numbers advantage so it looked like it was going to be an elf day, however it was 1-0 for the ogres at half time after a determined (though slow) drive.
The second half kick-off looked like an easy score for Atlantis but some thrown-goblin defense stopped the TD - and an incredible pass caught by 'Punchy' moved the ball back up to the halfway line. Unfortunately Punchy found himself confused by the presence of the ball in his hands and spent the next few turns staring at it in dumb horror. By this time elves had swarmed him and knocked him down and more brave defending couldn't stop the equaliser.
With several turns left 'Thinks' insisted on Da Special Play which found new goblin Mervin as the unlucky goblin chosen to fly towards the endzone. However, he landed and ran in the unlikely TD.
However the special play was used up a bit early as the elves had time to score another equaliser without much trouble. The final turn attempt by the ogres to replicate their earlier flying TD didn't leave the ground at all.
