“It is one of the hallmarks of elfballing teams that they get beat up pretty hard every so often. This is even true for elfballing orcs, as we see here.

We were down 200k TV against these lizardmen, and the results were ugly. Hakkawem became the second original player to die, three men are missing next game, and the attrition resulted in the Lizards managing to get some skinks to the ball. As we all know, when skinks get to the ball, touchdowns soon result, and in this case, that meant they came back from a 3-1 deficit to force a draw. (Breaking a personal 5-game winning streak...)

Dork Strung was our MVP yet again, scoring 2 TDs and a casualty. (And amassing a semi-absurd-for-orcs 23 yards of rushing.)

Oh, well. This just means we get a recovery game. With 10 players -- we don't do orc linemen! Alas, it may be time to invest in an apothecary.

(And then we reconsider the wisdom of tying up quite so much TV in +ST goblins. This is the third straight game that neither one of those goblins has survived the whole game without injury.) ”
