“TR150 Tour - Round 2

We're up against Reventlov's chaos dwarves who cointossed through round 1 without playing their game. With us starting at TR145 last round this means we're both at TR150 for this game- remarkably even!

We opt to receive, and their kick lands in our endzone. After a slightly shakey 1st turn we get the ball upfield with a ghoul-ghoul pass'n'run that outspeeds the chaos dwarves (their centaur charged deep into our half after the ball) and lets us right through. They defend well though, managing to 1d blitz for a POW that knocks out our rookie ghoul. It doesn't hold us back though as we have zombies tying up most of their players and we're able to recover with another ghoul and score on turn 7. They have 2 turns to try for a TD but a multitude of skulls in their initial blocks means it's not to be.

They have 3 players left in the KO box at the start of the 2nd half (vs our 1) and will only have 10 to line up vs 11 on our side. Things look good as we are keeping them back and we are starting to get confident until they pull off a perfect turn on turn 7, blitz-dodging their hobgob with the ball through and then dodging everyone they need to loosely surround him and prevent us from getting a shot at him! 1-1!

*** OVERTIME ***
We have 11 vs 10 but are kicking and the chaos dwarves have gotten a bonus RR on our turn 16 AND again now- they have 3 vs our 1. They immediately even the teams by badly hurting a zombie on the LOS. Things look pretty close for a while, with the ball loose and both teams straining to get an advantage, until a series of KOs mean we are way down on players, followed by two good turns of blocks by the chaos dwarves leaving us without any options to stop them scoring.

We have one turn to try for a 1 turn touchdown but fail the first -2d block needed to get things started.

Well won Reventlov.”
