“Our necros are up against Xira_Arien's brand new lizardman team. We've no tacklers so this could be difficult. Both teams have just 11 players but they have no apo - any casualties will be extremely helpful!!

They start with the ball, and just as we are wondering how we should best get through the wall of sauruses to get at their juicy skinks, they run three of them through into our half! We put zombies by the sauruses and go hunting after some skink blood - totally disregarding their half of the field! We knock one over and foul him into the KO box on turn 2. Meanwhile they are having some trouble recovering the ball near their endzone, eventually picking it up on turn 3. They've now used up both rerolls though and we're keeping their players well marked every turn. By turn 5 they have their first chance for a TD, needing just a 3 stunty dodges to make it through - but they fail their last one! We seize the ball and when they try to get a saurus back with a blitz vs the zombie standing in front of him they manage to roll double skulls!

This lets us get the ball through and safe to score - but first on our final turn we go for a slightly risky 2nd crowdpush, pushing a saurus with a 1d block (rerolled) from a zombie to open up a 2d block into the stands with a flesh golem- where the fans badly hurt him!! We then score to end the half.

1 of their 2 KO'd skinks fails to wake up so it's 11 of us vs 9 of them. They kick short (into their own half) but have a blitz before we get to handoff. We give the ball to our flesh golem on 5 SPPs and start the laborious push forwards. On turn 2 they have a decent change to 2d blitz him, but with their RR used fail on the 2nd GFI of the blitz! Two turns later and he's scored to make it 2-0 and a difficult skillup!

We try our best to stop them, but a good attack sees them make it 2-1 with a turn left each... can they roll up a blitz? Nope! And in fact our flesh golem scores a -MA serious injury on one of their sauruses at kick off!

Good game Xira_Arien :)”
