“Rebuttal: My luck was at 18% for my first four turns, having failed to pick up the ball in the first turn when I received, and was promptly swarmed by Orcs around the ball. I managed to claw my way back after that to make it 1-1. I lol'ed my way through my bad fortune.
My esteemed opponent was up 2-1 in the second half, with, I think, four turns to go.
My recollection is one bad kick and two quick snaps, and several double skulls with Blitzers vs Lineorcs - will check the replay - yep, correct.
Despite his protestations, I don't think Nigel's luck dropped below 40% the entire game.
Watching the replay, the Orcs did 9 Stuns, 1 KO, 1 BH and 1 Dead (apoth'ed). We did 4 Stuns, 2 KO, 1 BH and 1 SI - that's 12 armour breaks to 8 to the Orcs...
All in all, I thought this was a pretty even game, and the result shows that.”
“First half was pretty even, both had our share of good and bad rolls. and it was a fun half at 1-1.
Second half was just plain ridiculous, the dice were so one sided it was almost laughable. With just 1 reroll my opponent didn't have the dice end a single turn in the second half and rolled almost 100% of his blocks, including all 1d blocks.
Of the 6 kick offs, 1 was changing weather all the others helped my opponent in one way or another.
These rolls made it impossible to put up any sort of defence whatsoever and my opponent just had to move his catcher to the endzone on both occasions having got bad kick BOTH times so he didn't even have to pick up the ball once and we had either just a few players left or all his blocks had pow'd.
On top of all this the orcs AV9 was broken over and over and over again, with no MB or claw help, 2 SI, 1 BH, 2 KO, half a dozen or more stuns, in return we made 2 stuns 1 BH and 1 RIP (apo save).
Just shocking and another retired team.
Update: having let the frustration move on, I thought I'd come back on and add to my initial report, a calmer view - although it seems that's been done for me! I agree that at the end of the day a draw is a fair representation of 2 evenly matched teams, though stand by my comments about the second half dice, backed up by my opponent pointing out how low his first half luck was! To go from that to the 62% he finished on shows just how good those dice must have been! Also, the importance of rolls is hard to judge and in my defence I will point at my 3rd gfi roll of the game - when trying to go 1 space to put a TZ on a blitzer as a last ditch roll to save or delay(!) a score, well we got our third gfi 1!
But, at the end of the day it was a good, hard fought match and I will just have to make a new team! Well played nestyr, I hope your return turns in to a long stay
Good luck!”
