“All 8 of his Niggles turn up.
I won the flip to recieve.
I collected the Ball, as a first action he 1 die POW'ed the ball carrier, the scatter went to of of my Guards next to the ball carrier, so that was OK.
Further up field he managed the 2 die POW... so I picked a POW. The scatter landed in some TZ's and he failed the pick up.
Another 3 time he managed to get the ball off me with 2 die against, I just managed to score in T8, but not with the player I'd been setting up all half.
I've managed to do a whole ZERO Cas so far too.
HALFTIME
1-0
My kick goes out and its a touchback, he gives it to a lineelf, and his first action of the turn is then to pass it, that fails leaving me with an effective Blitz. I hit players, but still nothing happens and start getting deeper.
His Thrower collects the Ball and runs deep, he sends a single Catcher upfield to score off. I get more players down to force the Thrower to pass, and get a player covering his Catcher for what good it is (AG5, Leap, NOS, Catch). He manages to get through for the pass and gets it off, the Catcher drops it tho.
I get TZ's arround the ball and goto pick up with a St4 player, fails with a RR and the scatter goes to someone else, he Blitzes him with 2 dice and StipBalls. He fails the pick up in TZ's. I set up a Pocket on the far side of the field then Dodge, Pick-up, Pass to get the ball away, I fumble the pass with a RR and he easily scores.
1-1
Once again, I manage to just knock over the 1 player from the first turns blocks. I have the ball deep out of range, but he runs most of his team down to cover passes and such. I find a way to try set up a better CAGE, the first block (the blitz) only being a PUSH makes it a lot harder and hes able to break in. His Thrower collects the ball but fails the pass for the TD cos of FA.
On T6 of the 2nd Half, I FINALLY manage to BH a player from the field.
in T7, I Dodge, Pick-Up, LongBomb (RR), Catch, GFI, Score. If the LongBomb atleast didnt fumble (just a 4+) then he'd have had a hard time scoring anyway.
