“Middenheim Challenge 03/09 - round 2
-------------------------------------------------------
After booting a blodge filled dark elf team in the first round everyone was sure that Organized Konfusion had achieved their 15 minutes of fame and would end up smashed to a pulp by their next opponents, the Gluttony Moola. There was only one thing to do, go all out! A wizard and "Ripper" Bolgrot were hired, but still the odds looked bad.

The chaos dwarves started with the ball and the goblins could do little to stop them from scoring, which they did in the first quarter of the match. During that time Cyclopz managed to badly injure a chaos dwarf, but the team captain Surly had also been bashed heavily.

A perhaps too confident Gluttony Moola charged the ball at the following kick off, set to score again and end the match in the first half. With some dodgy goblin moves their defenses were bypassed though and Murda could snatch up the ball and run towards the end zone. Some shockingly bad sprints from one of the Gluttony's bull centaurs caused confusion amongst their ranks and Murda could stall himself to a T7 TD.

In the 2nd half Organized Konfusion started with the ball. If they could somehow hold off scoring for a few turns there would actually be a small chance of being able to win. The opponent getting a perfect defense didn't help my plans though. Fortunately the little gobbos dodged like they usually never manage to and could get out from the chaos dwarves range.
Things looked good, but only for a second! Suddenly Grom da Collecta was RIP'ed by a regular hobgoblin. The awesome regenerative powers of the troll saved him back to life, but he would be out for the rest of the play. Moments later Braindedd was stomped to a pulp on a gangfoul, but that was less upsetting. After all he was just a pesky goblin. The bloodfight turned into a real carnage when Organized Konfusion took revenge when Grog dealt a savage blow to the opponents kicker, forcing him to use his apothecary to save his life. And shortly after that Raaw the Rager was badly mauled by one of the bull centaur, crippling his body for the rest of his life.

The bloodshed had tied up the chaos dwarves in an offensive position though and once again the agile goblins could sneak through the lines and Murda could run in an almost exactly identical TD as in the first half.

4 turns remained. Would it be possible to defend? Grom was back and the wizard was still in reserve. The chaos dwarves started making their way down the pitch, but the trolls formed an impressive defensive line on the LOS while the goblins and "Ripper" tried to hold the rest back as a second line.

It would turn out to be one of the craziest and most exciting endings ever in Blood Bowl history!

BlackJack the bull centaur finally made his move. In a semi risky maneuver the dwarves tied up the goblins and BlackJack charged down the right flank. Triumphantly I used a lightning bolt on him. With AG 2 he had little chances of avoiding the blast. Snake eyes! Somehow the lightning bolt managed to miss!

Now the last chance was with Ripper. He ran up and blitzed BlackJack and to the astonished cheers of the goblins he managed to land a crippling blow, sending BlackJack tumbling through the air. But that was not the most surprising part. When the dust from the savage attack settled the troll star player had picked up the ball!

But suddenly the winds of chance shifted again. In what would have been a way to lock the ball off safely the (AG 4) goblin Skum failed his dodge and landed heavily in the grass, confuzing his teammates.

With just two turns remaining the chaos dwarves were now desperate. Most of their troops were still held up with the other trolls on the LOS. A death defying blitz became the only answer. Against the odds (-2 d block) a chaos dwarf managed to down Ripper, scattering the ball free.

He wasn't down for long though, rising up and smashing one of the hobgoblins with his big hands. But there were several more around and the goblins were badly tied up. Things looked bad. But then suddenly Odd sailed down from the sky, having been launched by one of the LOS trolls. The agile goblin snatched it up and used his impressive sprint skills to run the ball to safety. The time ran out before the opponents could get to the ball and Organized Konfusion could look back on another insane victory!

Thanks for the match, Warden. It was truly a crazy match!”
