“Each team did what they do best..resulting in a blow out win for the Ratz. The lack of Block really hurt the CW's (most had at least one skill--but not block)

1st half, Gotham scored about mid-way through the half. I did dislodge the ball once but it bounce right to a waiting Beastman, who promptly scored. With only 8 reserves (2 KO'd, 2 BH), I opt to try the OTS..ARGH!..blitz! But he did not hit my OTS GR, instead covering the ball that is slated to land right on the LOS. He failed to catch it and it bounced over the LOS. give the ball to Hyper Zzpeed and clear a path for the OTS try. Luckily, I also moved some GR's into the Gotham Backfield, as the trip wire that is the EZ line got me again!.. but only stunned, the ball staying in the EZ. After his turn, I clear a lane and my Zzing, who was prone, gets up and rushes the ball.. a GFI and pick up later it is 1-1. still 2 turns left in the half! I try to cover the 3 he puts back, and do a good job, but he still manages to get a CW free and into the EZ..Long Pass is failed, and the half ends with the 1-1 tie.

2nd half, I'm back up to 10 players on the pitch, as all the KO's have recovered and no one else had yet been hurt. Set up for the OTS again..and it is Successfull this time! 2-1. Ensuing KO, he gets the ball and forms a cage near the LOS..but Warp Zzpeed is able to pop the ball out..but it stays in the midst of the cage. He get's the ball back, but the cage is 'broken' and I wrestle the ball carrier down. Trying to 'punt' the ball, Hyper Zzpeed fails to pick up the ball..then the lack of block (which had already used a few RR's in the game) came into play as a CW falls trying to block Zzing. A few blocks to remove TZ's on the ball, and Hyper does not fail to pick up the ball this time, Passing it to Zzing, who catches it and dodges away for a TD..3-1.

With only 4 turns left, and the score 3-1, we know now who will win, and I'm starting to get low on players..only 7 on the pitch (a KO, 2BH, 1SI, and 1 dead), so I set up deep--no planning on trying to stop his score. he moves forward quickly. I manage to BH his MB/Claw/Pileon beast, but then he Kills my Blitzer (apothecary works! whew). I move my GR's to the 'bottom' of the pitch to give him plenty of room to run in. I guess trying to score quickly so he has the chance to Tie up the game after the next KO, his Beastman Trips on the EZ trip wire..and the ball stays in bounds. I can't resist.. Hyper goes over to get the ball, passes a 4+ (thanks AG5) bomb to Zzing who races pretty much from one end to the other for the final TD 4-1!!

Hyper Zzpeed gets Fend (I had meant to give him leap..but this works as well), while Zzing gets Two Heads.

I might Fire the rookie GR and hire a new one just so I have 4 GR's next game.

Oh, just wanted to note some oddities (at least to me) in the game. My opponent seemed to really hate my Thrower, as he seemed to target him more than most other players. Zlash, the Rookie GR, also too many blocks while my other 3 experienced GR's did not get targeted as much. Also, it was weird that he used his one Tackler to carry the ball for the most part, and not hit my GR's--and the GR's really stole the show here.
