“More hot orc on orc action, though avien's team are far stronger with nice skillups for their blitzers and 2 skills on every black orc. We get a single handicap of a knuckleduster for a black orc and get going.

We receive and on T1 our sole DP gets sent off KO'ing one of their three DPs. Harumpf. Then their first blitz of the game MNGs our star +AGI blitzer. Curses!

They surround the ball but we're able to recover and badly hurt their +MA +AGI blitzer (leaving them their +AGI stand firm one stil) and move the ball into their half. Only a black orc is near enough to reach the ball but he makes the dodge blitz and on our turn we can't dodge a lineorc over to assist. Their remaining +AGI blitzer legs it over but fumbles the pickup into the crowd who helpfully throw it diagonally across the pitch and we recover it once again!

We have run our rookie black orc up to hopefully score (and skillup) but two sets of double skulls ends our half prematurely while they manage to switch the ball from end-to-end and fail the last 3+ catch for a TD of their own.

0-0 and we're kicking for the 2nd half. The kick lands deep and their lone rookie lineorc is left alone with the ball at the end of their first turn while a DP is sent off fouling our troll for a stun. We push a couple of players into their half while trying to tie up the rest of the team.

By T4 they are hemmed in on one sideline and things look a little desperate and again they have to rely on a black orc dodge + blitz. They then niggle a MB/guard blitzer and our apo fails (2nd time in 3 games)... egads will we ever have a decent roster for a major here?

We KO their black orc and +AGI blitzer around the ball carrier and things look ok for us, but the lineorc makes the dodge and a 5+ long pass to a blitzer on the half way line. Our rookie black orc then niggles himself with a 4 dice block and they are running for our endzone. We can't knock over their player with 4 dice and he then goes for a -2d blitz for a pushback a dodge and 2x GFIs to make it 1-0.

We have two turns to try and equalise vs 7 players, getting a RR from cheering fans to help us, but it comes to nothing when our troll attempts to eat the gobbo..

GG avien and well won.”
