“1 Handicap - Buzzing.

Of 6 nigglers (3 on each team) only 1 niggled out (one of my block ogres.)

Praxx got the Ref at the very start of the game, and took full advantage of that with his DP, laying into ogres left, right and center.

Luckily for me, these were, for the most part, ineffective. After many, many rounds of fouls, only one player was BH - my buzzing ogre.

At the end of the first, Praxx needed anything but a 1 to score a TD. Double 1s are rolled, and I gloat, since Praxx could've scored easily if he just hadn't stalled.

2nd starts, but only about half of my KO box empties. 6 players vs 9.

I'm forced into the defensive pretty much from the start.

Some close plays, as Praxx's stalling nearly costs him another TD, but my rerolled 2d block is unable to score a hit, and Praxx runs into the corner to hide.

Cue the last movement. My ogre stands, dodges out of first tackle zone (suceeds) - is shadowed (suceeds.) Dodges AGAIN (suceeds) - shadowed again (suceeds). Go to take -2d block on the warrior with the ball to push him off the field... GFI: 1, ogre trips. Praxx wins.

A very, very close game.”
