“Our undead vs gabeln's higher-rated lizards. They have just 10 players with their kroxi and a DP skink MNG'd ... but they have another DP-skink and 2 players with +STR. We get two handicaps: doom & gloom + morley's revenge which strikes a block/MB saurus.

They nip right through the middle with a lone skink on turn 2 and despite 4 dice from our wight we can't find the both down or pow we need to knock him over and they go 1-0 up on turn 3.

11 vs 10 with their morley'd player back on the pitch... and their fans get the ref! We go for their DP with our block/tackle ghoul but can't break his armour. In the meantime we're trying to tie up all their players so they can't gang foul- which is working quite well. The ball is knocked free in the middle and both teams scramble to get at it, but with no rerolls left for either team it's pretty crazy stuff. Eventually we grab in a tackle zone with our AGI4 ghoul, run upfield and handoff to a wight. On their final turn they get a sidestepping diving tackler next to our wight and despite getting a 3d blitz from a block/tackle ghoul we can only push him. This means with DT it's a 5+ dodge for the endzone.... but he makes it! 1-1!

There's now a saurus and a skink badly hurt plus a skink remains KO'd so there's just 6 facing 11 undead for the 2nd half. We quickly KO another saurus and push forwards, and after a couple hiccups we have the ball safely by their endzone in a wight's hands. They have just 4 players left on the pitch and we start systematically removing them until there's just 2 saurus' left by turn 8 when we score to make it 2-1.

They have just one turn left... wait- the ref is signalling for injury time! They have 2 turns but with only 4 saurus' able to make it for kick off they have no way to get the ball and the win goes to the undead!

Good game gabeln!”
