“Lutèce Cup Challenge - NA, Round 1

Teams do what they do best...skaven score, ogres bash.

1st half the Ogres brought the ball up close to the LOS..but I could get a GR to the ball for a 2db with just a few dodges..then with several more, was able to get to the ball and throw it to a relatively protected GR..Next turn I scored. Next kick off, I got a blitz, and was able to get a GR under the ball and screened..so I scored again quickly. Forgot the circumstances for the 3rd TD, but I think it was a failed pickup. However, this drive was bloody..I lost 3 Linerats to injury, a GR and my Rat Ogre, while the GR took out the leader Ogre when he went down, as well as one snotling getting hurt. Add the linerat who got hurt dodging earlier, and I was way down on players. Still, I almost scored a 4th TD in the 1st half, just couldn't pick up the ball in a TZ.

2nd half, I'm at 5 and he was at 8. But, the spread line did not work, as I was able to set up for a 1db on an ogre and run my 2 GR's deep, along with 1 of my blitzers who had to dodge away from an ogre. Next turn, the long pass was completed and now it's 4-0. Then I was able to get to the ball again much like the 1st half, but couldn't get away to make the pass. Still, the ball was on the ground and I was able to eventually get it to score TD#5. i think I had another opportunity to score, but again couldn't pick it up (memory is failing at the moment).

Still, 5-0, even against Ogres involved a lot of luck (good for me, bad for gregkubly). If he'd started the casualties before the 3rd drive, it might well have gone differently.
