“Really went in expecting to lose this one, facing 7 guards and some well developed blitzers.

1st half, I played the slow the dwarves down game, and it worked, finally got my chance at the Ball carrier, and got a BH for my 1db. From there, it was just a matter of keeping pressure up on the ball and not letting them down field. By the end of the half, it was still 0-0 and I was up 11-10 against the dwarves in the 2nd half.

2nd half opened with a blitz, but the dwarves over committed to one side of the pitch, allowing me to use my speed to effectively reverse field. I stalled a couple of turns and scored on turn 6 when it looked like the dwarves might be able to get close next turn. With only 3 turns to score, the dwarves again got a favorable Kick-off result (Quick Snap), but an early Skull (or skull/skull..surely with all the guard it was a 2db) left the ball on the ground in their backfield. I was able to get to it, but failed the pick up. Luckily for me, the dwarves failed a GFI to hit Yasha, giving her one more try to score. Again she failed to pick up the ball, but the dwarves could not score on their turn 8--as they were still only 2 squares past the LOS.

good game, but no new skills.
2 of 4 regens worked, but both of the regens were on Bh's :) The Bloodwiser Babe didn't help, as I rolled a 4 and a 2 on the 2 KO rolls.
