Handicaps for Grind King:SMELLING SALTS and KNUCKLEDUSTERS (Brino).
We have 15 healthy players - they 16. TR and ST is in our favour, and handicaps are poor, but we a bit short on skilled blitzers.
We win tos. Start on offense.

I do a 7 player foul on their troll first turn, he gets KO, but ref spots it. Argue the call doesnt work. They respond with a 3 player foul, and badly hurt one of my black orcs. I then do an impressive misclick, but my black orc manages the 5+ dodge without rr :). I play horribly, and they make us drop the ball soon. My troll doesnt help for a couple of turns, but it mostly is me playing badly. I have a lot of luck to score t6 with a onediceblitz. Still, it has cost us our Thrower (mng on a block by their standfirmdodgeplayer (i would soo want one of those) and a 51spp black orc. And they have 3 turns to tie it. They have bad luck with block dice (just arrows and skulls). T7 they roll two amazing onedicers that force us to dodge with two players to blitz their ball carrier, but we manage. However, Iena does a great setup for a last turn pass for TD but is stopped on the pick up with snakes.

Second half, and as mentioned before, we lack two players. They have a full team. They kill a rookie blitzer of ours with a foul (dont dare to use apo). Next turn they stun two. This is the beginning of a long session of us going down, stunned or KOd, which allows them to stall for a couple of turns. We get 4 turns to score, but have a bad first turn. Only get 1 out of 3 on the LOS down, and cant pick up the ball. They badly hurt another player with a foul (third cas on 3 fouls) and even get the ball. It looks gloomy for us, even though or goblin recovers the ball. We consider a throw teammate, but finally decide for handoff to our st5 blackorcs. It works and the two GFIs (all without rr). Nice chainpushing by Iena allows them go get a troll next to him, but thanks to an assist from our Goblin, the black orc can blitz his way to TD.

Very entertaining game. Chat was fun, and Iena did a lot of clever moves - he only lost due to worse luck (except the three cas he did on fouls). Me on the other hand - well, when will someone teach me how to foul? My orcs just continue to be the least bashy in f1, round after round. I should really have a talk to my wannabeeelfs that call themselves orcs.
