“Major 'hurt' about half way through Half 2 - on my drive.

I am nicely caged - let one elf near by - tz on my ball carrier - but I have the numebrs to deal with it.

I make a block to implement the plan - too lazy to pick players up etc and do things the safe way - I mean - im safe 2d blcoking with dorfs right? ;)
2 dorfs can hit - oen has pro one doesnt - ahh - im after cas so i decide to use the pro one - he get's a push - and that' what pro is for right? ;) - not in this situation - pro SUCEEDS! (lol) - and the block dice are duly rerolled into a double skull.

Turnover on the first action of my tune.
and my opponent can now hit me - take ball - pass it to a receiver - and run out of reach of my entire team.

well i had a slayer who had a chance ot at least try a blitz the very next trun - vut he failed his 4+ dodge with rr to start things off :(

The mistake was my fault , and cost me the game.

[EDIT: almost forgot to mention - nuffle tells me something by also making that double skull result in an armour break and RIP to the protagonist - Big Tony!!!!!!!! ;))

Apart from that it was a close run game.
My oppo had some great natural cas dice - forcing me to use my apo on turn 1, Koing me on a foul, and then niggling my 96spp slayer the next turn.

I tried my best but my defense was strecthed, and in that first half my blocks were not coming up pows - whislt my opponents dodges and 1d blocks were working.

Came down to a narrow margin for his td - a dodge and a gfi - he made it.
I had two turnes left to score back in the first half - but a double one on a gfi by my blitzer to get him in endzone range ended that dream.

SO i knickled down for what I anticiapted to be a tense 21nd half where i wold NEED to score.
After a stern half time team talk my plaers came out hitting - every blcok in T9 breakign armour - resulting in 2BH, 1 KO, and 1 stun.
game on - I now had number in this drive, and just needed to keep hitting to totally whittely those zons down - whislt playing safe enough to proect the ball with a nice safe cage.
Im not normaly a cager - but I thoguth i was doing it ok - until my pro hell :)

Handicaps in this game were:
IT WASN'T ME - which Andrew claimed - - I woudl have used the apoth on him to get him in the game.
DUH WHERE AM I - whcih my opponent cleverly gave to my remaining runner.
IRON MAN - which my opponent gave to his MB Stand Firm Guard Blodge Blitzer.

that blitzer was largely nullified by my Diving Tackle Longbeard most of the game.

But shucks - the upset happens again - two Major tournaments in a row for me at round 1, and in a similar manner.

Lomack the Lousy is what the Rocktower Runes daily publication has taken to nicknaming me after this calamity :)

the trash talking in my blog before the game just put even more egg on coach Lomack's face :)
