“After a string of losses in a row the Cobras have undergone a restructuring, firing two otherwise healthy beastmen to drop their crowded roster to a tighter 12 players and hiring a wizard to give us a boost. We've now been scheduled vs very closely matched chaos. They have a +STR / RSC chaos warrior that we'll have to try and remove but otherwise look quite like ours.

We start poorly as our DP foul fails even to break their ogre's armour. Then things get even worse when their first blitz on the ball carrier sees our +AGI +MA CW MNG'd! They follow this up with 3 KOs and then steal the ball once the player advantage is theirs. They score without any trouble on turn 4. A terrible start by us!

We recover the ball but once again fail to achieve anything, as they badly hurt a beastman, surround our players, and blitz over the ball carrier- a CW catching it on the bounce. They blitz and dodge him free and run for the endzone, but luckily we're able to dodge back and 1d blitz him over and grab the ball. On their final turn they can only push him back and the half ends with us losing 1-0.

We get 9 vs 10 for the 2nd half but have to kick. They fail to secure the ball at the back so we rush a beastman through in the blizzard, and then go for a blitz and gang foul on their STR5 RSC- a stun. They follow up with a totally elf like turn despite using their RR early (on a block), picking up the ball, handing off, running upfield and making a pass and some GFIs to get the ball right up by our endzone. We can only push him back and on his turn he's able to dodge and escape to make it 2-0! (in hindsight we should have used our wizard to lightning the ball carrier at the start of this turn).

This time we have 10 vs 9 with 2 of theirs remaining KO'd and after more awful ball handling eventually run the ball up one side. They charge in a couple of beastmen, taking down the CW with the ball and we decide to burn our wizard to try and take charge, stunning one. But we fail to pick up the ball and we're running out of time here... eventually managing it and scoring on turn 7.

1 turn left each- we need a blitz or injury time to have any hope of equalising! But it's not to be and the game ends our 5th loss in a row- the worst streak any of my teams has ever had! Well won Vity”
