1. NWFL Season IX, Pre-season Seeding Game 3 (#3 of 4)

Two defensive scores, but neither without a half-long fight and ball-possession challenged right up until Turn 8/16, and that's the game in a nutshell. The Regulars put a LOT more bash on the AV 7 'Sons than expected, and early, and the quickly under-manned Norse could not quite contain and account for the Horned Blitz menace from a half-dozen beastmen at a time.

Under a Very Sunny sky, the Regulars received, and by Turn 3 the Sons had popped the ball loose, but the bounce was nowhere recoverable. The Regulars scrambled to recover but could not cage, and that let the Norse repeat but this time recover. However, a fumbled pass to end Turn 5 left the ball on the field again to start Turn 6. With no RR for either team, all the Regulars could do was surround the ball, but the 'Sons were able to dodge free and survive a failed double-gfi blitz for the Turn 8 score.

Meanwhile, 1 rookie beastman had been RIP'd Turn 2, and a blocker BH'd, while for the 'Sons 2 rookie linos were BH'd and a Fend and their Tackler 'Zerk KO'd and not waking up.

2nd half the 'Sons tried passing with their Ag 4 lino, 2 times dropped despite RR's - and the 2nd spelling disaster as the Regulars recovered to end Turn 2, chose to stall and lost the ball on Turn 5, then recovered again. More players were lost, 3 Norse on Turns 2, 5 and 7 and 2 Beastmen on Turns 4 and 6, which gave the Chaos the advantage in control of the field, and they survived a T16 blitz that failed a 2+ dodge to score for the tie.”
