“With all gutters back in action the Devil on the Wind is not afraid of any ugly nurgle team!

On first kickoff I get perfect defense, and as the kick flies semi-deep into the nurgle half I gladly welcome the positional edge. I get my gutters up there to harass the ball carrier trying to force a mistake from the nurgle. They don't seem to mind and make a fine play across the field and one rotter gets close to my endzone with the ball. I get to land a blitz on the rotter, but as I burned a reroll trying to dodge there, can't get the guy down. Still there's two of my players and we've got him cornered so I'm not worried: it'll be a fast score or else I've got the upper hand. A bit of luck for me and the rotter fails a 3+ dodge with RR and next turn I've got the ball. I try to pass to a gutter deep in the nurgle half but their presence is so disturbing that my gutter fumbles the ball. Next turn I get a chance to pick it up again and run but I fail the pickup. It's turn 6 for the nurgle and I'm thinking it's either my score or no score this half. They do stun my big hand gutter when I would've needed him the most. I try to pick the ball up with 1 tackle zone and end up fumbling it into the hands of a rotter! This could be gamebreaking now! At least we've both burned all our rerolls and they've got a long way to go to get to my endzone. Phew, I get the BC blitzed down but the crowd throws the ball into a position where it's still possible for the nurgle to score. If they fail, though, It's even more possible for me to score ;). Well, we both fail of course, the nurgle trying to dodge and me failing a GFI for a pass. The second half starts 0-0.

I get really lucky on a pitch invasion straight off, the crowd knocks nurgles senseless on an entire side of the field opening a huge hole for me to break through. With rats' speed this is really like the best thing that could happen. I easily get to the endzone and start running circles around nurgle. They do show some frustration as a rotter kills one of my star gutters. Luckily the apo comes to the rescue and brings him back to life, heck, even into playing condition! I manage to stall the game till my turn 5 and make it 1-0. Four turns for the nurgle left so it'll be a tie at worst. I get a great kick into their endzone, at least they'll have to go deep before getting to advance. I roll a double skull on a 1d block trying to break a hole to break some gutters through giving em some room to manouver around my defense. Luckily, they fumble the ball trying to catch a pass and off I go with my big hand gutter. On turn seven I've got the ball still on their half with a good chance of 2-0. My ball-carrying gutter gets knocked down and they get the ball. Man does the excitement in this game ever stop? Last turn their beast gets stupid on a blitz action and that makes it really hard for em to score. Sure enough, they fail a 6+ pass and that's game.

Whoa this became a long match report! That's cos this game was friggin awesome. Especially the first half, ball moving from one endzone to the other in matter of seconds and it really could've got either way. The pitch invasion kinda made the game, no way to recover a kickoff like that. Thanks for a well played and entertaining game KingKurt!”
