“This is the rare game where I'm gonna be That Guy and say that I think I really should have won this one.

ClawPOMB cost the Lizards dearly at the beginning of the first half, but we threw ourselves forward, and were able to take the ball away from the Dwarves and stall until turn 6.

The Dwarves then received with 2 turns to score, 0 RRs, and no one with AG higher than 2.
A Touchback-At-The-Worst-Possible-Time sealed the deal, however. With our saurus losses (see notes on ClawPOMB, above) preventing any real backfield support, we simply couldn't muster enough bodies to stand in the way of the Bull Centaur who brought in the score on turn 8. Failing to find a knockdown on a 3-die block took away our chance at a 1-Turn Score on turn 8, and squandered our chance to pound.

Outmanned and outgunned, we broke through the Dwarf lines, and (thanks in part to a lucky Skink blitz which permed the Dwarf killer) were able to bring in another TD on turn 5, and things we looking pretty good. However, yet another Touchback (this time accompanied by a rock). Again the Bull Centaur takes the ball, again our losses keep us from putting up a defense, again the Dwarves bash and score.

Challenging and fun game, if a bit of a steal. I look forward to the rematch.
