“The shaman approached the flames; he poured the Squiggoth blood from the vial. As flame and blood met, there was a loud, angry hissing. The billowing smoke whirled into shapes that seemed to take on a life of their own.

He glanced over at the lizardman messenger, a scrawny skink tied to a stake on the edge of the campfire's glow. It's eyes darted around, and the shaman could feel the fear emanating from the creature. He focused on the swirling shapes in the smoke, and could see that Gork and Mork were in agreement, the conditions were good for the tribe to wage Waaaagh!

The Shaman was given a vision by the gods for a gameplan, he began to relate to the gathered chieftains; "We gotz to hitz, and kill dem skinks. Dey are da key ta losing da game. We can bash dem big lizardz all day long, dats what dem little blighterz wantz uz ta doo.” Seeing he wasn’t getting through to them he decided to try an analogy. “Its like if da grotz were really fast, and da boyz couldn't pick up da ball, only orcs are much betta den dat, but yooz can imagine if dats how it wuz." He looked around and saw the difficulty the Orcs were having as they all tried to use their imagination, he quickly surmised it was a losing proposition and attempted to regain control. "Ferget all dat, boyz, just hit'em till they fall onna ground, den you can kick'em once or twice fer good measure. Got it?" "Waaaaagh!!!!!"

What looked to be a very bashy affair on paper turned out to be fairly one-sided, thankfully in our favor. Our gameplan was to tie up the Saurus with guard, and get our Tackling Blitzers into position to smash skinks. This worked to a degree, but during the first half, my pc disconnected and reconnected to the game. The only problem was that the dice generator showed we were out of sync. Johnny_Ryce tried syncing one turn into the 2nd half, and it caused a 2-ball error, so we reloaded. When we did, Johnny’s previous knockdown turned into a pushback, which would not have been a big deal had Johnny’s skink not immediately failed to dodge through that tz and be seriously injured. The next turn saw several big lizards off the pitch and a 2 point advantage, that basically meant the end of the match. Hindsight being what it is, we should have reloaded again after the skink went down. Syncing before the kickoff would have worked too, probably, or performing the correct sequence to fix the 2-ball issue in the first place.

Well it’s always fun to play my old nemesis, Johnny_ryce, and as he said at the end of the match, his Chaos Dwarves are waiting for me in Premier. Heheh we’ll see how much of them is left when I get back up there. ?Note: I am in no way suggesting that I will make it back up to Premier next season. Hehehe Im not dumb enough to anger Nuffle in so blatant a way.
