“RRR round 1. Our new undead vs cachuli's new dwarves

We start with a blitz that doesn't achieve much but lets us move our players to near the ball. The dwarves then manage 2 dbl skulls in their turn while trying to clear us out, giving us a chance to go for the ball. We only manage to fall over, but eventually the ball bounces around the brawl into the surprised hands of a mummy. Not for long! The dwarves surround him and take him down. They start pushing up one side and we're forced to chase them with zombies and our lone ghoul, unsuccesfully and they run in the first score of the game on their last turn.

We start the second half with a big blitz on the enemy runner by one of our mummies resulting in a KILL! Our head coach runs onto the field to raise him as a zombie! Meanwhile our offense is fizzling out with good blocking and toughness from the dwarves line at the centre. We try pushing to one side but are soon surrounded and forced to run our ghoul with the ball to a very lonely and dangerous spot. He somehow survives a 2d blitz (block/tackle) with RR and then a frenzied block (no tackle) twice again for 2d!! That's 8dice he survives somehow! After that he realises he is clearly wearing Nuffles Old Socks, so he dodges past multiple dwarves to run clear and run on for the equalising touchdown the following turn!

Following this our fans get the ref which gives us a few turns of free fouls to try and remove some dwarves for extra time. Our fouls do nothing but stun or fail to break armour, but we do manage to land a BH with a block which helps!

*** EXTRA TIME ***
We have 10 vs 8 dwarves and will receive the ball. However the dwarves soon even things out by killing a zombie! (no regen)
We are patiently pushing forward, running from side to side with our ghoul and eventually too many dwarves commit themselves in a revenge foul vs one of our mummies and we can safely run to one side and then on to score and make it 2-1 with just 3 turns left. However some great moves from the dwarves means they push right up one side with the ball, including an excellent +2 foul that KOs a wight by the ballcarrier before my last turn. I then manage to 'dodge' a zombie through a tackle zone I didn't see and cause a turnover! Whoops! The dwarves make their 2 GFIs to score and force the game into a coin toss, which however we manage to win! Phew!!

Thanks for the game cachuli was very close in the end!”
