“The first half of this game was boring as the Britons adopted a "kill the skinks" strategy and blitzed and fouled them until their dp was thrown out and I had formed the cage around my three remaining skinks and the ball. They backed off after Ichy killed an Elf and their apothecary was depleted. We moved tortoise-like down the field until turn 8 and took our 1-0 lead.

The second half was much more dynamic beginning with the elven quick snap. There was a protracted battle for position as the Lizards tried to slow the elven advance down one side while a sideline battle with the ball formed on the other side.Brave Slither sidestepped right next to the ball and got knocked around while the elves played ping pong with him, but he perservered. The critical play came when the Lizards finally had them hemmed in and were about to drive two players and the ball off the pitch....unfortunately we failed to notice Subserviant Cockney standing Guard over his brethren and our 2-dice block turned into a 1 die block which ate a re-roll and skulled just the same! This allowed the elves to break free and they tossed a quick pass to their catcher who went for it right into the endzone.
We still had a few turn to score however, so we weren't too alarmed. Unfortunately the Britons used their Blitz defense on the kickoff just to make things tough on us. Sadly out of re-rolls, we had to scramble a bit ...but Gordon pulled one of his famous ball retrieval manuevers and sprinted downfield! ( AG4 skinks are really a bit over the top). He called out to the Sauri who formed what seemed to be an impenetrable wall behind him and got Slinky to run interference on his tail. Unfortuately, the Elves dogged straight through the wall like it wasn't there (I mean really..4+, 3+, 2+ GFI, GFI) and then threw a 1 die block that said POW! and picked up the ball. All was not lost as they couldn't defend it and we still had Slinky and Gordon to pick up the pieces. Toledo came blazing in with a mighty blitz and threw two-dice of skulls at the elf, but it didn't seem to faze him...and so it ended as a tie.
It was a fairly brutal game casualty -wise considering how few block were thrown.. but it is a bloodsport after all.
Nice game and thanks Wombats!”
