“Rough game - everything listed above, plus 2 1/2 players saved by Apos, plus several key KO's that didn't return for the lizards.

For the Serpents, it was 100% Blocking (w/ MB added in liberally); for the 'Sons, it was pretty evenly split between the Snow Troll, the induced Bombardier (who was on a real hot streak!), and a couple self-inflicted injuries by the Skinks. The main difference was that for the Serpents, the casualties started to hit them early, taking out 5 key players first half, while the 'Sons suffered a total of 1 player KO'd (the 'Saw) until their Turn 7 kick, when a Pitch Invasion crippled the Serpent's chances to tie at the half but the 'Sons (finally) started losing players as expected (3 in the next 3 turns, and more to come).

But in the end, the few lizards on the field just didn't have the numbers to hold position on the Norse, who were willing to mark their Sauri to get past them (since the Break Tacklers were all out from some very lucky bombs that had been tossed around), and with bad dice ending some turns early it was game over.

Shouldn't have gone this way, not according to the team match-up, but that's the way the dice bounced this game. Next game won't be the same, no doubt.”
