“Norse vs Norse. We have just 10 players but 4 skillups, while riakaa's vikings are a rookie team with 100k inducements which they spend on a reroll.

We have an apo and they don't- no doubt we'll see some injuries here with all this AV7 :D

They kick first and a rock comes soaring out of the stands to badly hurt one of their ulfwerners. During the commotion our DP tries to put in the boot vs one of their linemen KO'ing but getting spotted and sent off. T2 and our snow troll BHs a lineman so it's 9 vs 9 for the rest of the game. They then try for an unassisted foul with one of their throwers and also get sent off without causing injury.

They have nicely blitzed the ball free and with our AGI4 stunned we wait to pick it up, but a dodging blitzer of theirs gets their first. We KO him but the ball has now landed by the sideline, and when we pick it up their nearby ulfwerner dodges at 4+ and then double 1d blitzes him out of bounds! The crowd toss the ball diagonally back into our half, and it takes us valuable turns to get back, in the end running out of time (and rerolls) before half time.

They have just 6 players available now vs our 9 as we kick off, but they quickly BH one of our ulfwerners before (fortunately) dropping a pass that would have meant trouble for us. We MNG a lineman and then steal the ball and run upfield. We stall out a few turns while they desperately try and dodge through to get at the ball, managing a BH at one point but never actually threatening the ball before we secure the win on T16.

GG riakaa!”
