“Well that was half crappy sleepy play and half robbery by the dice.
Was always going to be a hard match with the handicap being I am the Greatest, taking out either a Str4 Blodger or a Blodge Tackle Sidestep Blitzer.
We had the ball first half, and rerolled a Blitz with the ball carrier to a double skulls and we lost the ball. Oppo stalled out the half whilst I focused on getting rid of his DP (with lots of rerolls wasted as I couldn't buy a pow early on).
Oh, we also accidently said no to rerolling a failed GFI too early on so we were all out of position.
Second half, we play a bit better, and we get an attack on the ball carrier, 2 dice POW but the ball sails to a magic spot for t0xic.
He picks it up, but I manage to set up another 2 dice blitz on the ball carrier, but fail the final GFI with a Catcher still left to possibly pick up the ball afterwards.
We also suffer an apoth failure on a RIP. That is my 3rd apoth failure (all deaths) in my last 4 games (different teams).
Oh well, we were sleep deprived and didn't play our best against a team I thought we would struggle against anyway on paper (sidestepping Gutters, one Str3 with Tackle and DT) and we were punished heavily by the dice against an oppo who played solidly.
Them's the breaks. XFL High Elf preparations officially ruined :)”
