“The Scuttelers faces a Nurgle team, most of their players having at least one skill, mostly Block.

Skryre fans have massed and the rats have a +1 FAME, they win the toss and opts to recieve.

First Half

Set-Up

The Nurgels set up three Rotters on their far left of the LoS, and a centered 2, 2, 2, 2 defence pairing each Warrior with a Pestigor.

The rats weight their setup heavily on their Right.

Kick-Off

A high kick allows Izgoing to catch the ball directly, he then moves up and passes to Sneek.

Turn 1:

Scolde Drat moves up in to support Week Krunchclaw blitzing the Pestigor in the Wide Zone. The blitz is a standoff.

MISTAKE! Should've rerolled it. Having the Pestigor one step out would've meant a world of difference.

MISTAKE! Don't crowd yourself like that. A dense pack of rats is a juicy target to a basher team!

The ball and as many rats as possible move up along the right sideline.

MISTAKE! Moving players in contact with the Warrior in front of the Pestigor let him throw another block.

Nearly all of the Nurgle team moves in contact with the skaven, two blocks and a blitz knocks two of them over, stuns the third and pushes the carrier next to the sideline.

Turn 2:

In an absolute amazing display of avoiding 1's and rolling [POW]'s three rotters are stunned, the ball moved back to the rats half, with some protection.

The Nurgles shift to the center.

Turn 3:

A blitz knocks the pestigor in the nurgles right wide zone over, and the ball is moved up along again.

The Nurgle team closes up on the new Skaven huddle and takes the carrier down. The ball ends next to the sideline.

Turn 4:

The skaven blocks the pestigor who blitzed the carrier, knocks him out, and Izi Cas picks the ball up and scores.

Set Up:

The skaven sets up a deep defence, the Nurgle loads the LoS.

Kick-Off:

Brilliant Coaching earns Nurgle a reroll. The ball ends up in their left wide zone.

The three rats on the LoS are relentlessly blocked down or stunned. The nurgle team gets the ball.

Turn 5:

The skaven dodge away, sending a GR around on their left.

The Nurgles push into the skaven and advances on their left.

Turn 6:

Two GR's make an attack on the carrier and drops him, Sneek swifttail catches the bouncing ball. A timeout is called in the middle of the last rat's movement.

Swift is knocked out by a blitzing pestigor, the ball bounches into the hands of an assisting warrior.

Turn 7:

A blitz and a block on the Warrior is ineffective, but most of the rats manage to dodge away. from most of their pestilent opponents.

MISTAKE! I should've gotten one more assist into that blitz. It would only have taken one GFI.

The ball is handed over to a pestigor, and the way is cleared, by killing Izi Cas who the Apothecary failed to help, and who then promplty joined the opposing team as a Rotter.

Turn 8:

The carrier is again blitzed on a 1DB block, and is only pushed back.

MISTAKE! Should've taken the chance to dodge another rat off the warriors marking him to get 2DB.

Scolde Drat trips while dodging, failing a 2+ RR.

The Nugleteam scores by dodging 3+ (with dodge), GFI 2+, Handover Catch 3+ failed Loner 4+, Catch RR 3+, GFI 2+, GFI 2+. Nothing much I could've done about that.


Second Half

Set-Up

The NBC sets up agressively on the LoS, facing three rats and the rest of the skaven two steps back.

Kick-Off

Get the ref gives both teams a bribe. The ball bounces out of bounds.

Turn 1:

The skaven suffers from some hard knocks, and finally Ded Meet is fouled to death.

An early 1DB block is rerolled but still the no-block rat goes down and is killed. TO.

Turn 2:

The rats are bashed and fouled.

An early 2+ RR dodge is failed and Sneek is knocked out. TO

Turn 3:

More blocking and fouling. Foul is spotted, but bribe is successful

Rerolled 3+ dodge fails. TO

Turn 4:

The NBC scores. Everyone stays uncoscious.

Setup.

A LoS Packed with nurgle warriors and pestigor.

Kickoff: A thrown rock stuns a Warrior on the LoS.

The skaven pushes a hole in the line, blitzes deep and SI's a pestigore, Their blitzing Stormvermin GFI twice, and remains standing. Scolde Drat picks up the ball, runs forward and passes successfully to Creek.

Turn 5:

Creek is promptly blitzed (2 GFI) and goes down, the ball ends up next to the blitzer, a second Pestigor rushes in to put another TZ on the ball but fails a GFI.

Creek gets back on his feet and blitzes the Pestigor guarding the ball, and takes position near the ball himself. Scolde Drat dodges free, picks the ball up and scores!

Setup. With only 7 rats to put on the pitch (again no rats recover consciousness) three linerats are put on the line and the rest goes deep.

MISTAKE! Spe Edbomp, the kicker is placed in the wide field!!!

The NBC use their usual front heavy set up with a Pestigor in the rear to pick up the ball.

Kickoff: A high kick is dropped by Faust, the behind the line Pestigor.

Turn 6:

The Linerats are relentlessly Pummeled, 2 knocked down, one Knocked Out. Faust picks the ball up, advances, and Toby Smacked is SI'd by a foul (that the REF didn't spot).

The rats in turn blitzes a Rotter that is knocked out.

The nurgle team passes and moves the ball out of reach of the skaven.

MISTAKE!

Don't bother trying to get players off the pitch in turn 6 2nd Half!!! Put your players ready to intercept, or mark anyone who might get the ball!!!

Another foul isn't spotted.

Turn 7:

The skaven moves towards the ball.

The Nurgle scores.

Turn 8:

The skaven set up for a OTT, which fails when the first block is a POW...
The Pickup fails on a 2+ as well.

Final comments - One of the Nurgle TD's was lucky, the skaven failed two risky attempts at scoring. The score could very well have been the other way around. Oh - and of course the skavens MVP went to Toby Smacked - a linerat with a -ST, and missed next game is pretty sure to be fired.

The Skaven gained 15 SPP's and lost most of it due to dead or injured players.

The NBC won the game, did not only not lose a single player but gained 3 rotters from the rats.”
