“Another game in our last long string of horribly screwed dice.

It looked good in the beginning, Ripe wasn't sent off until his fourth foul (in turn four...) and by then he'd already taken 2 players out for the game.

Then about midpoint of first half things went south. An eviction causing a bad Turnover, Totally misplacing one of the werewolves, and following up with a 2x[Both Down] Rerolled into double skulls. Leaving us totally out of position.

That apparantly wasn't enough for Nuffle, who promptly gave the Orcs knockdowns on all but one block, even 1/2 Die ones, knocking our wolf with the ball over, dropping the ball right into the hands of the blitzing blitzer, who of course catched it. A turn later that same 1/2 Die block didn't turn out so well for the orcs, and Growl took down their S4 Blitzer on the sideline, the crowd tossed the ball at the feet of a fairly outpositioned Black Orc.

Big mistake #2 for us: Trying to pick the ball up by dodging into a TZ with no rerolls in turn 8. All followed by a pow, pow, Go for it - 2, Pick-up 6, intercept 5, Pass 6, Catch 6, score.

If I instead had just put another TZ on the ball it could've caused a few more dodges, or a -1 from a TZ for the pickup and pass. Not that THAT would've mattered with those rolls.

Oh well, we were down one TD, and kicking. But we were up 2 players.

First turn, only one zombie out of the linefodder, nice, put a SS Blodger on the ballcarrier, sweet, another wolf, and the ghoul ready to hit the ball from the other side.

The troll blitzes free, and moves through the center to anchor the cage, 2 black orcs as well, and the ball is handed over to a rookie catcher - who promptly drops it! Of course in the one square where three orcs had their TZ
s, but a turnover and players ready to pounce! Not bad.

A big scrum forms up, finally a Zombie gets pushed onto the ball, which of course bounces at the feet of a rookie lineman, who has no problems whatsoever picking it up and moving away.

A daring blitz succeeds from our side, both wolves drop the lineorc, and again the orcs show an amazing display of successful onedice blocks, not even trying to clear the wolves from the ball, but just putting a TZ on it.

1DB blitz on the Blackorc guarding the ball - Both Down, RR, Skull, Armour break, KO, TO.

The orcs then just goes on sending the two remaining blodgers off the field, in an amazing display of POW onedie blocks and armour breaks. Five blocks, three players out, two of them Blodgers.

The only good thing was that Growl managed to sidestep onto the ball and bounce it out of bounds, the crowd throwing it within reach of Wiley.

Unfortunately he wasnt able to get away from the marking orcs, without poor dodges or blitzes, and with no rerolls, and Nuffle firmly in the Orc corner that wasn't to be.
