“Note, the luck reading is out due to a turn 4? second half disconnect, at that stage, the luck was 51% to me and 60% to RubenG, so it got even worse on the reload ;P.

This turned into a slow grinding possession game. The Company scored early and with ease. They then spent the rest of the half circling the slowly advancing Boyz cage looking for an opportunity to slip a player with Guard skill into the cage before leaping in with Mikahil Baryshnikov to knock the ball free.

The Company were unable to set up the steal and could only watch the Boyz set up a late first half TD to even the score.

The second half was more of the same, though the Boyz took a risky move by using their apothecary early on a badly hurt Black Orc Blocker (with a stack of skills) to keep in the game only to have their recent recruit Karg Fleshripper (Stand Firm Blitzer) niggled.

A real grinding game. To add insult to injury, my rookie Lineman who sits on the bench got the MVP and got +1 STR, pushing up my team Str by a whopping 8. With a 13 man lineup, this Lineman never gets to take the pitch except in garbage time (turn 8 defence).”
