“Our brand new Norse face Smashak's chaos dwarves; they have a couple games under their belts and unusually have more hobgoblins than blockers and no centaurs.

We go for a chain-frenzy-push to get one of their blockers off the pitch, but a double both-down stops that in its tracks. On turn 2 when we are pushing down one side they are forced to dodge backwards with a hobgoblin- and he fails and would have been KILLED if it weren't for their apothecary!

We push through, smacking them about the pitch, with no more result than a couple of KOs and score on turn 5. They then catch the kick with one of their LOS blockers and try to push through the center with all their players and the ball- but trip over an unnoticed tackle zone! We start cracking some skulls and making sure they can't get at the ball (though they do try) and the half ends with us still in the lead.

We've now put two hobgobs in the cas box with our minotaur blitzes so it's 10 of us vs 9. We kick deep, right into their endzone, but it doesn't stop them getting it back into the middle into a cage by turn 2. Once again we're able to dismantle the cage and this time one of our players catches the ball on the bounce. We charge upfield and make it 2-0 on turn 5 but not before our mino has 3d blitzed and niggled one hobgob and thrown another into their reserves box.

They spend their last turns spiritedly rushing up one side, getting within a few squares of the endzone before we're able to take them down.

Cheers for the game Smashak!”
