1st half started with a riot, and the dwarves could not recover at all, giving up a TD by the mid point, and almost giving up a 2nd on the last turn (just a failed gfi and a handoff away from it). Very few turns ended with all dwarves having acted...double skulls, failed GFI's, etc. Still, it was 0-1 at the half, and I had not fielded Big Rick (Death Roller) yet. Of note, the last turn of the half, the dwarves got a KO and BH one of the 3 guards..so the Alphas only had 10 players to start the 2nd half with.
2nd half was a completely different game. Started out with the Mad KAMU fans invading the pitch and stunning almost the entire Amazon team--and only one blocker got in their way! Then the casualties started in earnest. By the end of the (quick--for dwarves--4 turns) drive, there were only 6 girls left to set up for the Kickoff...a short kick and a blitz all but sealed the game right then and there. Flash did get knocked down late by a 1 die blitz, but I still had 2 turns to score and only 4 of the Alphas on the pitch--one of them stunned and only one standing.
Big Rick got 2 kills..one by blocking and one by fouling...so he was effective in his 4 turns of play. ”
