“Participating in someone else's ELF cycle- lets see if I can sabotage Kryten's wood elves hahaha!
We start with the ball and push up blitzers on both sides while starting to punch some elves. For their part their treeman kills one of our block-black orcs on his first block (apo saves) and then fully 7 elves crowd around another black orc for a gang foul (stun only, haha!). We move the ball right up into one corner but it doesn't stop the speedy, dodgy elves who crowd around our blitzer pushing him up against the edge. Then an elf tries to dodge over and slips, killing himself! The apo saves him too but that means all casualties are permanent after this!
The elves look a bit crowded around the ball but it doesn't stop them at all, with a catcher throwing a long bomb to the now recovered indiana jones down in our half and we can't do much (the goblin nips through to briefly put a tackle zone in) to stop them scoring on turn 4!
We stick to our previous game plan but the elves swarm over us and it looks like they will score again, but somehow we manage to defend succesfully though never really get close to scoring ourselves. The 2nd half kicks off with our troll and a blitzer in the KO box giving the elves a 1 being advantage.
They burn this however when their DP gets sent off in the first turn (the foul only stuns another BO too). We try and apply pressure to every elf with an orc but it's no good and they score on turn 3.
We receive and immediately kill indiana jones (his second death this game!). We try and push up but it's a bit of a brawl and the elves are defending very well - and in their 7th turn a nice blitz-stripball-leap-pickup-dodge-GFIx2 from their wardancer leaves us wondering what just happened! They handoff to a catcher and score their third TD in the final turn.
We set up, thinking perhaps a TTM touchdown is possible.. when a can of elf-cola comes sailing out of the stands, lodging itself irretrievably in Blugnut's ear and seriously injuring the big lump!

Thanks for the game Kryten, great fun!”
