“Vanguard National All*Star Challenge August 2010 round 1

Handicap against - Ironman (Valanuus the Brave)

This was a fun game, the elves on both teams pulled off some pretty good moves. I don't feel like I played as well as I should have, especially in the 2nd half. I managed to get the ball and score on defense in the first half, but after that I was unable to stop the Defenders from scoring when I was on defense until the last OT drive. I think what won this game for me was winning the ball in OT and using 6 turns to score. That wasn't purely by design, Stinky managed to steal the ball from me and it took me a few turns to get it back. Then I chose to score in turn 6 instead of stalling an extra turn. This was probably a mistake on my part, but I wasn't positive I could keep Stinky from getting the ball again. With 2 turns, the Defenders marched down the field and had a chance to tie it up on turn 8. It was only a failed drop (3+) with no reroll that kept it from being a coin flip.

Great game, Stinkytroll. You played this one close and it was my dice more than anything that helped me win. My AG 5 Dragon Warrior helped a little, too :)

Skills (1):
Esmar Tuek - Kick (decided it was time to get a kicker to let me take advantage of my speed on defense)”
