“We're up against Reseinder's dark elves who get one handicap of I Am The Greatest! Looks like our +MA +MA ogre and our +AGI +AGI gobbo are too proud to play together today!

We kick first and they score a classic elfish 2-turn touchdown with little interference from the ogres. A bad kick then lets us hand the ball to our MA7 ogre... let's see if he's really the greatest! T4 and a nice series of blocks lets them engineer a 2d blitz on him, knocking the ball into the hands of their dodge/guarder. We set up a 3d blitz on him with our block ogre, BH'ing him and they spend their apo. The ball is loose and we are trying to cover it with players, but fail some key moves, giving the dark elves a chance at a 2nd. Fortunately with their RRs gone they too fail and on T7 we have picked up the ball again.

They blitz our receiver gobbo and try and mark everyone else, but we still have an MA6 ogre in range of the endzone and after a whole load of 3+ dodges and the 4+ handoff he makes the two GFIs using our last RR to make it 1-1!

It's now 10 vs 10 as they kick off for the 2nd half. We get a free RR and use it to pick up the ball with our MA7 ogre on T1. Another try at proving his greatness :) We advance slowly, using our apo to save a niggle from a both-down at one point and KO'ing two elves. T5 and we can take advantage of a double 1 turnover to run the ball right down to their endzone.

We start to stall but on their T6 they make a whole load of dodges and GFI's and get a 1d block to knock the ball free. Their thrower has caught it but our ogre stands back up and with a RR knocks him over. The scatter is into the crowd and they put it in a awkward place for us, we cover with players and on T8 try and scatter it out to try for the TD but just can't do it. Instead we cover with our SS gobbo... but they easily dodge through picking it up and making the 4+ pass downfield to score in the last second. Argh!
