“I may be turning a corner with humans. This is my first non-loss in 3 games (not counting to pity matches where I had a significant advantage). This was a hard fought match all the way. Orcs are tough, and the Orcin Army played very well. I took my 2 casualties very early in the 1st half but opted not to use the apo on either of them (Blitzer miss game and unskilled lineman -AG). I wanted to save the apothecary for some of the better players. While I never needed him, I'm still glad I did. You never know. Orcin Army scored on about turn 7. I had a few turns to beat up on him before the half and throw a pass. 1st pass attempt failed, but 2nd was successful. 2nd half I got the ball with a manpower advantage (1 if I remember correctly). My plan was to try to increase my numerical superiority and score late. I did the former, but didn't score as late as I would have liked. The Orcs started getting too close to the ballcarrier and Vincentius had to roll out of the pocket and toss a pass to Køl Vånden Bøsch. Køl didn't hold the ball long, but he covered for his teammates so that Franke could get it. Pvt. Gump knocked himself out (or was badly hurt) doding and I got an extra turn, but still had to score on turn 6. Orcin Army benefited from a Quick Snap and a Touchback so there was a real chance they could still score. At first they were knocking Titans down, but a series of pushes and skull/pows left too many humans standing. The Titans swarmed in on the ball, knocking a lot of orcs to the pitch, and a few off it. The Orcin Army then failed another crucial dodge with double 1s, followed by some double-skull blocks and that sealed the game. I was happy to come away with the tie, having gotten some fortunate die-rolls at the right time. I'm pleased that I hung in long enough for my luck to turn. Thanks for the game, Griffon31. I look forward to a rematch sometime.
