On top of the crap handicap, my own niggling player was going to sit out but I used the apothecary because i needed 11 players. I should have known this was a bad sign, and she was rewarded for it with another niggling injury. The only bright spot in this game was stealing the ball in the 1st half and scoring on T8. Other than that, it was pretty much an orc-stall beat down. I wasted a lot of rerolls on stupidly easy things like GFIs and the occassional dodge away from one of his tackle orcs. I knew I didn't have much chance of winning with the shape my team was in, but the dice made absolutely sure of it. At least I got to see a few Troll fouls in OT when the Brawlers got the ref and had the game in the bag.
Good luck to you, crimsonwolf. I hope you go on and win FIBBA's first major. It will make me feel better :)
Skills (0): VP went to a linewoman with no previous SPPs. At least we didn't lose FF. Money was pretty sucky considering the gate.”
