“Our 153/160 skaven have been matched up against Reisender's 224/177 dark elves, talk about a mismatch in abilities!! They are extremely nicely skilled up with a good spread of 1-4 skills on all their linemen.

We get three amazing handicaps: buzzing, knuckledusters and ironman ALL of which are given to our clawed stormvermin Cleave Firespitter.. turning him into one nasty rat!!

We receive and start by badly hurting a blodge-SS lineman with our DP. We then run the ball to one side, but the elves react well and in force with a series of pushes followed by a leaping blitz from their AGI6 that should see our GR thrown into the crowd... oh no he's failed his GFI to throw the block! This lets us set up a few blocks to free our buzzing SV who blitzes an elf blitzer into the crowd- badly hurt!

We run the ball back across the pitch but the elves are naturally dodging well and blitz down our GR with the ball, KO'ing him. We respond with our super-vermin seriously injuring their DP and a rookie linerat KILLing one of their skilled lineelves! He is saved by their apo however. We run the ball down to one corner with a few skaven covering- they get a 2d blitz in but can't bring down our blodging GR without their tackler. We counter by setting up a series of pushes that throws the blitzer into the stands for a stun, then hand off to score with a linerat.

They collect the ball after the kick with their AGI 6 lineman, then rush up one side. We each push a player out (our linerat for a MNG, their blitzer KO'd) and then they go for the last turn touchdown, but fortunately without rerolls their thrower fumbles!

They quickly score again on turn 3 of the second half despite our best attempts to crowdsurf one side of their cage. They set up 8 vs 11 to defend against us. We quickly use our advantage to get rid of more players, our DP removing two in the first two turns. From there on it's totally one sided and we can stroll upfield while getting a few more fouls in with our DP to eventually remove their super-leaper; once he's gone they can't get at the ball and score in the last turn of the game to win it!

Good game Reisender :) Loved the super-vermin too, you had to play around him.”
